Title: The best sealant which gives ....
Post by: DubSociety on 15 March 2010, 17:01

The Ultimate Reflective GLOSS/MIRROR like Shine??? Post away ... I don't want people guessing, only tried & tested products. My current sealant is nearly running out so sometime in the next week or so I want to order another bottle.

P.S. I'll be applying Collinite 915 after the Sealant, so whatever you think will go well with that Wax ...

sealants will only give you a limited amount of shine tbh due to there make up as such and what they are designed to do which is to ultimatly protect,if your putting 915 over the top then surely you want a sealant that will have long durabilty rather than a glossy wet look?.

 jetseal 109 goes without saying is a top contender, fk1000p a close second, cg M-seal , pb's ex-p.

I had jetseal in mind ... I will probably go for that then ...

So whats the best wax for a super glossy wet look shine??? Im quite happy with Colli 915, anything else out their that gives a ridiculous shine to the paintwork?

swissvax onyx is at a good price at the moment

if you want a truly outstanding shine... put the effort into the prep, polishing and the glaze prior to the sealant and wax  :wink:

any dodo soft wax will give you an uber wet glossy shine.

Guy is absolutely right as usual.

I use CG Wet Mirror Finish which is a glaze as opposed to a sealant. After prepping the paintwork I gave it 2 coats of the CG WMF, then Jetseal 109, then wax on top.

Very pleased with the results, but it's impossible to know how much 'gloss' the WMF added.

dodo lime prime followed by 2 x jetseal 109 and 1 x collinite double wax (the clients brief was that they wanted durability and protectshun)

Still the water beads and  the car looks as if it has been waxed every time  I wash it.
