Default Which wax/sealant ?

I have these two waxes/sealants. Meguiars Ultimate liquid and Surf City Garage sealant. Which do you like? Does one last longer or look much better on Ruby Red ? Thanks

I just finished Miyabi, 2 coats, and ISM, 1 coat, on my Ruby Red Raptor. Cannot believe the results!!! The color is stunnin; the metallic comes alive. I don't have experience with the sealants you mention. The Ruby Red really deserves a great product. I'm sure some will pop in here with recommendations on your two products.

I did use the SCG a while ago and just thought I might try the Megs. I did use Blackfire on it last year. I am trying to use up my stash of detailing supplies.

Peter Pan- I picked up the Wolfgang sample kit a while ago and tried it. It did not seem to last for me, I still have some - I might try it again. I liked BF better.

After paint correction you might want to look at the ceramics. Ceramics are the wave of the future with outstanding durability and shine. There is a great post here on Care Care Discussion on the various ceramics.

This question will get you just as many opinions as asking "what oil is best?" :-)

I have the ones I like to use but I have a butt load in my garage and just play around with different products. For example I have one that is 100% carnauba wax that doesn't remove any spots at all. However it can give a fantastic, albeit short, reflection for my '93 ruby red. Most of the time I use something like Meguiars or a CG sealant... Depends on my mood.. Some are snake oil and some do a great job.
