    Which do you guys supposed is the sealant with the tightest beading.

    I just saw by hand that Z2pro was pretty tight by chemical guys e-zyme was tighter...but I know e-zyme is a wax

    anyways which is best of these:


    z2pro and z5pro
    klasse twins
    werkstat prime/strong/acrylic and acrylic jett
    blackfire afpp
    duragloss 501/105


    why am I looking for the tightest beading you may ask?....cuz every time I detail, it always tends to rain lightly =( and also those bubblies are the coolest!....especially when they're nice and round!

    sealants don't really provide very tight beading action. It's the wax that does it. Pete's 53 provides the tightest beading action to me.

    I just did my car and a customers car with Extreme EZ-Creme Glaze Acrylic Shine II and then Menzerna FMJ sealant. I can say it beads incredible well. It is so slick that water just rolls off. I am very impressed and so was my customer.

    i feel that Duragloss 105 beads water very well.

    hmm...which do you suppose last the longest of all the sealants? or are they all kind of have the same durability?

    have a coat of sealant under wax...wax doesn't last very long, unless you go with Collinite waxes.

    My vote goes to Bilt Hamber Auto Balm. Super tight beading. I've only used it a few times now, but it's become one of my all time favorite products. I'm not sure if it's a sealant or a wax - they're sort of coy about what's actually in it - but man does it work. It looks fantastic as well.

    For a sealant, I got good beading from upgp on my ford paint. On other paint for some reason it didn't bead well at all.

    with CG 5050, the beads are super tight
