Sealants

How do these products differ:

Tech Wax 2.0
#20 Polymer Sealant
#21 Synthetic Sealant

Are any of these the "be all, end all"?

Re: Sealants

Nxt 2.0 and #21 2.0 are similar, both being synthetic selants, though the #21 can be applied with a rotary.

#20 is more of a mild cleaner/wax.

I hope this helps. I found these threads by doing a Google search of MOL.

M21 and NXT are Meguiar's best protecting, how long they will last depends upon how the finish is treated after application and the kind of environment the car is exposed to on a daily basis.

These two products have very strong and loyal followings so they are very popular among enthusiasts and pros alike.

There is no such thing as a once a year wax unless you're talking about a garage queen.

Re: Sealants

Okay so NU Finish is full of it saying they are a once a year application? There are pleanty of those "Miracle" car care products on the info mercial adds, I'm betting some will do more harm than good when used and the Body shops end up repairing if not repainting cars because of it. I had my dealership put on the paint protection as I thought it would be worth the trouble. So is a dealer applied paint protection product a sealant?

Pretty much, though the terms selant and wax are fairly interchangeable.

Re: Sealants

So the paint protection is more of a gimic as it really doesn't last all that much longer than a good wax?
