Default Now that my back is even worse...

I can't be waxing her as often as I used to. Would really like to get the top of the line sealant that actually WILL last a long time. The Meg's NXT 2.0 just doesn't do it for me.

Suggestions? BTW Proof would be awesome .

Liquid Glass - we put 1 coat on a buddies S back in May and the water still beaded up to a couple of weeks ago.

I try to get 3-4 coats to get a good base for additional wax.

Went out today and did a full detail after this post. Back been getting better. After that I hit the gym and did light weights.

Long story short, I spent last 30 minutes tretching and using message chair combined with Ibuprofen trying to prevent it from cramping up.

Collinite 845 sounds even better after feeling like this. Also by reading up on it every one said nothing but good things. O and G I will check Liquid Glass as well before making a final decision.

Chemical Guys Jetseal 109
Chemical Guys M-Seal
Menzerna Power Lock
All of the above available from detailedimage dot com

Wolfgang Deep Gloss from Autogeek dot com

Jeffs Acrylic Jet from Werkstat dot com

And the bargain, Autoglym super resin polish from amazon. Throw a dart at any of the above as in my experience they are all terrific.

Very nice You layer wax over sealant? What kind of wax?

I've never used LG but do like Wolfgang's deep gloss sealant. Just wipe on and wipe off with no effort and no dust. The surface is super slippery and lasts a few months.

Powerlock or Blackfire easily. VERY easy to use and very good durability along with great looks

When my back was screwed up I would use a small shop stool to sit on while I waxed my car. It saved me from a lot of bending over which would aggravate my injury.
