    Which one, generally, has the best durability?

  • #2
    Hey,

    Meguiar's #20 Polymer Sealant would have the best durability as polymers generally will outlast their wax counterparts.

      Same as how NXT is much durable than the other waxes because of the polymers that give the extra barrier for the finish.

        It's been my experience that #16 holds up longer than NXT. I like the look of NXT, but for me it seems to degrade pretty quickly.

          There are so many unknown variables to the equation "how long a product lasts"
          Weather
          Driving conditions
          Storage (garage queen, daily driver)
          Technique:
          Are we the type who measures 1oz of car wash soap to a measured 1gal of water?
          not likely, some do...most don't.
          or
          Are we the type who meticulously uses the 2 bucket wash method with a "grit guard" and never "EVER" washes from the bottom up even if it's the last 6" to wash down? some do...most don't.
          I feel this all has an effect on how long product X will last.

          As a amateur how can you tell that your wax or protectant is no longer there?
          clear coat paint beads water just like a waxed or Polymered (sp) finish.
          Yes. I know you can do the folded microfiber towel and rotate with moderate pressure test but
          is there a visual way to know?
