There's an old saying in the detailing world: find what you like and use it often. I go by that saying. I went through a period where I bought everything under the sun and amassed quite the collection of Swissvax waxes.
Then I found Menzerna Power Lock and I have yet to find a sealant I like better. Here is my F15 at 100,000 miles: My GO5: |

I have only had it for two weeks but I am happy so far. I have SunTek Reaction which has a 12 year warranty. I also got Opti-Coat Pro Plus ceramic coating. That has a 7 year warranty. The installer has been around a while and basically said if I have any issues at all with either of them just bring it back and they will redo it.

A reasonable case for PPF can be made by those who live in terrible climates where they drive on bad roads 6 months of the year with rocks, cinders, chunks of salt, etc. everywhere. Anyone considering these expensive treatments needs to understand that PPF is not immune to damage, can be very problematic upon their inevitable removal , and "ceramic treatments" are NOT permanent. Choose wisely. It is absurd to state that any of this stuff is mandatory, that is just ridiculous. If you decide on ceramic then do it yourself for 40 bucks and that will last just as long as what your car dealer or local detail shop will charge 800-1800 bucks to do.

As a side note there are several foam systems that people swear by….spray on and rinse.

I have a cheap SunJoe low PSI electric pressure washer ($100?) and a couple different foam dispensers. I have three partial bottles of quality foam ph balanced car soap. And CeramicPro.
The foam canon is not an absolute solution. Some stubborn stuff - especially on my windshield - needs to be hand wiped. I blow dry then microfiber wipe in limited places as necessary. The result is outstanding. Deep gloss, you can feel how slick the coating is when you grab the door handle. |

I will look at Reset, thanks.
I have Griots Garage, Mother’s and Car Guys products. All specified to work with canons. Maybe my expectations were misaligned. |
