help me pick a sealant using blackfire wet diamond

I have never used BFWD...but I will say Opti Seal or Klaase SG, IMO.


 


Opti Seal super easy to use and Klaase SG can be a bit difficult to remove if applied too thick.
 
I "use" to be a BFWD poster boy, and I still think it's a good sealant. But, you know what's better? IMHO - Menzerna Power Lock. That's my new go-to sealant on my cars. Advantages: 25% cheaper, easier to use, haven't seen any issues with trim, and the looks - even the skepical wife is now a fan!I think for the price, it's hard to beat and I have seen it last longer than BFWD too.
 
I primarily use DG 105 on my light colored car (sometimes top with POXY)--great look, easy to use, very durable and inexpensive.  With all the raving about BFWD on another forum decided to give it a try so I got a sample as part of a larger order during a free shipping promotion.   Wasn't very impressed--easy to apply and remove, but saw no improvement in looks over the DG105 and the durability wasn't anywhere near the 105 so for nearly double the price of the 105 (including the 601) IMO it's not worth it. 
 
I would like it to last longer.

I used to be a zaino freak and it would last a very long time but I know theres been other products that came out that could be better.
 
Junebug- Heh heh, you're all about that PowerLock these days, huh?  You like how it looks too...Just how easy is the application- Accumulator-proof?


 


You think it's better stuff than FK1000P?


 


shaunls1- What are you looking for in terms of durability- several months, longer?
 
dfpxengr- Well, IME garaged/3K-year cars do fine with one annual application of numerous LSPs, that's not a very demanding application.  I get by with an annual application of FK1000P on vehicles that get use a *lot* harder than that.
 
Right Accumulator, thats the best data I have tracked. Techinically its still on the one application done 18 months ago. I do have it on my dd though now and am tracking that.
 
Alfisti- I'd gone 18 months with FK1000P even on daily drivers, at least on certain panels.  I suspect I've stumbled across a wash technique/shampoo (Griot's) that just happens to be incredibly gentle to that particular LSP; the panels that need redone first are always the one that take the brunt of "normal abuse from driving in bad weather" (e.g., the areas on the sides where the tires throw road water), while some other areas (roof, sometimes the hood too) stay nicely LSPed almost indefinitely.
