Chemical Guys sealants: which one for durability?

which CG sealant has the longest durability? i've heard Jetseal isn't as long lasting as i'd like (6-8 months, meaning it should be comparable to Duragloss #105).

thank you!

Duragloss 105, zaino z2, UPGP (Ultima Paint Guard Plus), if you don't think jetseal last long enough for you..(CG is close to officially launching a "better" jetseal) It is called road armor I think....

Their are ALOT of great products besides CG products...

thank you, but i did list DG #105 already - it's the one i've heard the most good about regarding durability, but it's harder for me to get than CG products.

i was thinking about the durability between M-Seal, Factory Sealant and Extreme Top Coat Sealant +3x Carnauba

I believe you're talking about speedARMOR357 which I've heard costs around $60 for 16oz. $$$. It's supposed to combine the warmth and depth of a carnauba and the protection of a sealant.

here, check out this thread...
http://www.autopia.org/forum/detaili...iple-pics.html

Jetseal is the Top of the line they have to offer....As for protection, mseal, FS seal and, jetseal all offer pretty close to the same protection. Page 2 has updated pics...Trust me...if you are not happy with jetseals protection, you are going to have to go to another manufacture...

i just got some m-seal that stuff is amazing... although i dont know exactly how long lasting it is.... if properly maintained it should last about 6 months give or take....
but i think everyone's situation is different.

dammit, I just bought a bottle of Jetseal. First the new i-drive system for 2009 and now this. Do you know when the "better" version is supposed to be available?

Jetseal looks better and is easier to apply than Mseal. Mseal does have a little bit better durability

Zaino has better durability than both, but has a completely different look

Ive never tried jetseal before. Can you elaborate what you mean by different look?

Jetseal definitely looks good. If you're after a sealant with very long lasting protection, I would go with Zaino. I've seen many durability tests done between Zaino and other sealants and Zaino always wins. I personally don't use Zaino, because there's so many other products that look better but provide less durability. I don't need durability because I reapply frequently anyway.

Other products to try are Collinite 845 or 476S and FK 1000P. These are synthetic waxes and offer very good durability and protection.
