jsut as I though everyones going to give a different answer jet seal is a little expensive but I might give it a try since there are a few recommending it. FMJ and Klasse is like an AIO which I'm not looking for. Thanks guys for your input if anyone else has anything they would like to recommend let me know

thanks

i can give a +1 to jetseal109. i've really liked it myself. haven't heard a single problem with the other names mentioned though, and remember it doesn't always pay off to follow the crowd.... though hard to believe some of these guys could be off with their opinions!

happy sealing!

FMJ is not an AIO at all, it's a sealant only. It's still my favorite sealant in terms of looks and ease of use by far. The only thing that's easier to apply is Opti-Seal, which I really haven't been impressed with at all. It doesn't look nearly as good as FMJ, and its durability isn't great, either

for a sealant I like jetseal thus far...seems to be the easiest to work with. Feels similar to Klass AIO...but Klass Sealent is a PITA to work with if you use too much of it.

I claybar, polish and apply Klasse. Then I apply 2/3 coats of Blackfire Ivory Carnauba and buff with my Porter cable using a microfiber cloth over a constant pressure German foam pad. Results are better than Zaino and the polymer base lasts longer. I have been doing some local show cars with good results. I read that FMJ is excellent too but have not tried it yet.

Very nice. I'll have to give it a try and compare to Klasse. I still prefer to finish with a good 2/3 coats of Carnauba so that when the carnauba wears off I still have the lasting effects of a polymer base. And the carnauba gives me a deeper shine compared to the sterile effect of using a polymer only. Especially in Winter when I cant detail it as much.

i know at least with FMJ, probably others, its more than ok to top a synthetic with a carnuba. ive used megs gold class and lusso oro ontop of FMJ and like the results. just gotta make sure you let each layer cure before the next.
