Sealant experts

Ok so i have a 2007 Vista Blue(halfway between navy/royal blue) mustang and i was wondering if any of you guys had similar cars or had any suggestions on a good sealant for it. Im using Nattys Blue over it if that helps.
Also should i invest in PoorBoys SR line-up it seems to be pretty standard in peoples regimen? im thinking i need SR1 and SR 2.5
also what does Isopropyl Alcohol do? strip wax? when should it be used?

By the way I just joined this site and im addicted...anyone need a detailer in Dallas area?

Re: Sealant experts

I only have experience with megs #21 and ultima pgp, and they're both great!

megs 21 under natty's blue looks exceptionally good.

Re: Sealant experts

There are Many sealants to choose from but my favorite is zaino. Zaino Z5pro will look phenomenal on that color. As far as poorboys SSR's, i would highly suggest looking at the menzerna polish as I find them far superior to the ssr's.

Re: Sealant experts

There are tone of choices you couldmake and none would be wrong. each offers somthing diffrent. some last longer, some look better on certain colours. Like anything its a personal choice.

i would recomed either looking into duragloss 105. this stuff works awsome. Give good looks and lasts a long time. and to bootits cheap.

the other one i like is wolf gang deep gloss sealent. it gives awsome results. it makes colours really pop. i think it would look great on your mustang. howevr it only lasts 3-6 months depending on condtions.

The choice is up to you but those are the 2 i would recomened looking into.

ohh yeah try 2 or 3 coars before applying the wax to add protection and add to the look

Re: Sealant experts

I definately agree with Greg on this one. Menzerna is tops in the polish area and Zaino Z-5 is awesome in the sealant area. You really don't need to look any further than these two product lines for jaw dropping results.

Re: Sealant experts

Im not really looking for durability 2-5 months for a sealant is fine for me, looks is what im going for....i work at a car wash so i usually have spare time to detail my car now and then. Are there any websites i can go to purchase mezerna AND zaino, i rather not pay shipping on both.

what specific mezerna polishes i should try, my car has very minor spider web washing scratches. Thanks for the expertise guys. have a good labor day

Greg

Re: Sealant experts

With sealants... You could use Duragloss 105, Zaino, Jeff Werkstatt's, Opti-seal, or Ultima. Lots of choices for sure.

Re: Sealant experts

I'm very surprised to see how many people have a single "favorite" sealant. I have a *lot* of sealants in my garage (including Zaino) and love them all for one reason or another.

Re: Sealant experts

Z5 Pro or PoliSeal/Opti-Seal for that color. The Poorboys SSR lineup isn't bad, but honestly it's a 4 year old technology in a market where new toys come out every week. I would highly recommend getting Optimum Polish, Poli-Seal, and Opti-seal. Zaino's ZPC, ZAIO and Z5pro are a great combo too, Optimum is sun-friendly though.

Re: Sealant experts

Four Star Body Shop polishes (IM sure Bob will agree) meet all of my needs. Add Four Star's Ultimate Paint protectant and you have complete polish and protective products in about 3, maybe 4 bottles of product!
Optimum is also an excellent product line, but I seem to be giving the Four Star a little more of my time.
