u get a better idea if you spray a fine mist over the car. if the beads stay fine...and dont stick together, supposedly that means how awesome the sealant is
I'll try that later, but the water on there is 100% natural rain

I put an additional layer of NXT2.0. Not as good as Rick's manjuice, but it's probably the best OTC sealant available.

You know.. with all the products out there, I'm still a believer that OTC products are more than satisfactory if used at regular intervals. I'd rather have a car that has NXT applied monthly than a car with AIO applied every six months.

I guess benefit of the higher end products are longevity and quality, but I think consistent application is paramount to all.

you shut your mouth!

okay don't hulk smash me now :hs:


but i do agree with you and even more important is frequent washing. if you just wash your car every weekend that will do a lot more for longevity and look of the paint overall than once a month sealant or waxing it every month. but for the record, AIO + multiple layers of SG is wayyy better than once a month application of NXT or other OTC. specially when you're like me and you try to add multiple layers of SG after each wash h:

AIO+3layers of SG lasts easily 6months, probably can stretch it to 9 months with regular washing.

How long do you wait inbetween multiple applications? do you find that sticking with klasse for both polish and sg work out better? I'm going to throw another couple layers of the Wolfgang 3.0. Amazing how little product you actually have to use.
