What Wax/Sealant

[craig180p]

What wax and or sealant does anyone recommend for my black beauty?

I have been using AG UDS polish followed by Megs No 16 Paste Wax but have now run out!

I want to continue using UDS as it seems to do the job nicely but I want something to finish it with now. Bear in mind I've only ever used a polish followed by a wax - never a sealant.

I will be hand applying/polishing so something that is suitable please peeps.

Budget? Up to £50 on a wax and sealant or £30 on just a wax

Well Iv used the Black Fire Range to great effect, although the sealant is just over 20quid. Its very good and smells lush, the only problem being that the only wax that can be applied over it is Black Fire wax which is 40quid!!
If you want a sealant and a wax fot that price then try the poorboys range. Although I just use the sealant and the car turned out great:

Could prob stretch to £60

I finish my car off with poorboys ex-p sealant and nattys blue paste wax.

Both are easy to do by hand.. the wax especially. Its just easy wipe on and off.
I have started using the poorboys range a lot now and i dinf there products of a high quality.. also they smell amazing.. bubblegum, pink custard, etc

Heres my car after 2/3 coats of the wax after sealing.

I forgot to order my wax the other day hopefully if i order from clean your car now it should arrive tomorrow.

For my car which of these two dodo juice waxes would be better suited? (Its posi blue BTW) Purple Haze or Blue Velvet?

Quick responses would be excellent

[Noddy]

Edit, think i've got it sorted now. seems that hte blue velvet gives a deeper shine than the purple haze. If that is the case then thats my choice made

Blue velvet FTW!

[Wayne]

[craig180p]

Cheers peeps. Spread the love accordingly

[bullit]

as said craig thats a durable combo but will still look good. and with 2 coats of colli will last all through winter. then summer you can shell out again

Nice links

I think the absolute best product IMHO for use before a wax like collinite is the Carlack 68 - Nano Systematic Care (Klasse AIO). It's a paintwork cleaner and sealant in one so cleans and seals the paint. It's cleaning ability is as good as any product i've found and even on it's own and not topped with the dedicated sealant it beads for months. Topping with a wax is just the icing on the cake.

Don't get me wrong Jetseal is a good sealant but you will need to do a step before it to clean the paint. This is 100% what makes the biggest difference to the finish of a car. It's also a 'slick' sealant so I'm not sure if you would have bonding issues.

I did our A3 at the weekend with the above combo and I was shocked at the level of contamination there was on it. Here is the applicator primed with the Carlack 68:

And the predictable reflection shot after applying the Carlack LLS:



And finally beading from the Collinite #476s:
