I'm on board with a two part videos. Such a tease. Before your videos I used to actually get a lot accomplished during the day. Now I just sit around refreshing TH-cam on my phone all day.haha
Hi Sandro. Another great review. I love the WGDGPS. It really is one of the best sealants Ive tried. Im not sure if youre formula is different to the ones ive used, but one of the reason I love the WGDGPS is its ease of removal. Cured overnight normally, it literally is like wiping off a layer of dust, and Im not exagerating. I always apply via DA using the soft finishing/applicator pad I have
I was never impressed with Opti-Seal. I've had a bottle since 2015 or so. Still have it too. But it recently became one of my favorites. Turns out I had been applying it all wrong. I'm the wrong guy to say "a little goes a long way" to. Thus I used too little when applying with the foam applicator. Or, I'd apply too much and mediately wipe away, or I'd apply directly to the paint, and wipe it off. None of those te houses worked for me. Of all of them, using after an ONR wash as a drying aid was the best. But after a recent indepth testing and understanding of Optimum products I finally got the results I wanted. 1. One spray of Opti-Seal on the pad, and start. 2. Spread onto the paint until the wet film trail stops, then reload with one spray. 3. Allow as much of the wet film to flash before wiping with the microfiber towel. 4. Keep from getting wet for a bit. Not sure exactly how long, maybe an hour? All I know ow is that getting wet immediately affected the durability when I applied it to my gf's windshield one morning before she left in a rain storm. She reported that it acted like nothing was even on there. I applied again, and it sat in the garage over night and held up and performed much better. I had written Opti-Seal Seal off as a dud, and boy was I wrong. It might not be as robust as the Duragloss 111 I've been using since 2011, but if the tests keep going this way, it will finally replace the 111.
Thanks, but that’s a really hard question to answer honestly. Most spray waxes/sealants contain very little if any actual natural wax in their chemistry, they’re really synthetic in general. I also think the wax finish, feel and look we seek is greatly influenced by the application ritual we have applying traditional waxes, and it may not at least entirely be about the result but more so the user experience. So I’m honestly not sure there mate and I’d say if you enjoy the look of past waxes you’ve used you bay be better of sticking to them than using spray waxes/sealants.
First let me start by mentioning I learnt a lot from your detailing videos, they are much close to reality and shows the real prospect of any product. I am just a weekend warrior who loves to keep his black car shiny and as clean as possible. I have few questions. Three years down the road, is Reload still your go to sealant ? Which sealant you use most now if it is not Reload (of course apart from Nova products which I know you admire a lot but they are either not easily available or very expensive in US)? Would you rate Reload still top of the line after 3 years? Can you please do an updated review of Reload if possible?
Reload is one of the forefathers of ceramic spray sealants and to this day is still a beautiful spray coating. All sealants have stronger and weaker points as no sealant is the best on every single category, so it really comes down to what you’re looking for in that product.
Optimum Opti-Seal is a true WOWA (wipe on / walk away) product but you used way, way too much of it in this video! :) I admit there is a learning curve but I get only 2-3 high-spots on a car and one other thing you do have to remember that you shouldn't buff off the high spots rather level them very, very gently otherwise you just remove too much product. I actually level them with the applicator and they disappear, great product! I havenät found smooth to the touch product keeping the paint easier to clean than other that aren't like that. Keep up the good work!
Do you feel that today's spray sealants like TW Seal and Shine are as good or better in gloss and durability compared to more traditional sealants like power lock and wolfgang? Or is ot just there ease of application that gives them advantage? Another great video.
There’s few waxes I like, Scholl Concepts Premium Vintage Wax is fantastic but also crazy expensive, Meguiars Deep Crystal Wax is a great affordable wax, Collinite 845 is another great all rounder and there’s definitely a few more.
very nice, complete and clear guidance, thank you so much for job :-) I think it is just missing a comparative table with some evaluation to made comparison of some characteristic quicker
I watched the entire video and was impressed with Wolfgang Deep Gloss and Car Pro Reload. You mentioned Wolfgang is difficult to remove. How would you compare ability to remove with Reload? When you compare the two in using on auto glass, do they both compare similar? What is the process to remove these products between application? Great video and very informative.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing information. I am going to order Wolfgang WG-5500 Deep Gloss Paint Sealant and Pinnacle Liquid Souveran to apply over the sealant. Thanks for your help.
do you use carpro reload as a standalone lsp? I like that fact its a spray application with claimed durability of months as opposed to normal spray waxes which would only last a few weeks
I think your videos are fantastic and have really helped me narrow down what I need as an enthusiast! I was wondering where you think polish angel master sealant sits within this competition??
Car Craft Auto Detailing Thanks for the advice! I was a little skeptical about the carnauba arts range in terms of value as you said. For now I have purchased rapidwaxx as a top up which I am quite happy with though I havnt had much experience with spray waxes so it's hard to compare. Do you think carnauba arts is a worth while step up from rapidwaxx? Considering I will be using master sealant as a base layer. Cheers!
Car Craft Auto Detailing I certainly agree! Definitely not ideal for business use I guess. I'd love to see where the cosmic range fits in compared to the coating competition.
Not sure about the 2 parter approach still a good video though like the tunes, just 1 'thing though I got a nanolex ceramic coating saw something about RO application with a micro fibre pad for a more uniform application ? Any advice you could lend it's a little daunting. Now worries if your to busy.
Car Craft Auto Detailing - That sucks Sandro. I personally had a great experience over this end and have built a great rapport with the rep and I am not even in car detailing business. Value wise - can't be beat with their bulk 20L. perfect for trade/valeting. would you recommend nano/ceramic > sealant > wax. or simply waste of time after coating. part of my passion for car detailing is to work on the 🚗 and with such a long durability of ceramic/nano coating, might stick with sealants/wax combo B-)
hey bud John from Northport LongIsland NY@Carefree Auto Detailing.... awesome vid was looking for something like this. I currently started using reload and was not aware that you can dilute it 1-1. How much does it alter it's durability. I have been using it straight. All my customers love it but if I can make it last longer by diluting it without affecting its durability I'm all for it. what say you...lol thanks mate John
Car Craft Auto Detailing OK I didn't even consider the maintenance washing part ugggg. Thank you for pointing that out. I am definitely going to mix up a bottle of 1-1 for that. Thanks mate cheers.... Talk to ya soon
from the reviews u hv made so far, the only two sealents available currently in india is Menzerna power lock and finish Hi- temp 1000 wax sealent. which one do u prefer ? and y?
Hello Sandro, Working on my list of items to get. I'm going to use the Reload sealant on my car. I need something to use as an applicator. What's really good? Thanks!
Thanks for the reply. I watched your video on microfiber towels. I found one's called Eagle Edgeless and I'm buying some of those, but had a hard time finding the Concours Horizon edgeless one's in the states. Would these work for applying? Link: www.autogeek.net/edgeless-detailing-towel.html
Also came across these. They look a lot like the one's you use, but looks and trial are different things lol. Link: www.amazon.com/Edgeless-Microfiber-Polishing-Towel-Pack/dp/B0088Q1ZR0
I ordered both. I want to see if they are different. Plus Amazon will be 2 days and AutoGeek will be around a week. I'm also getting the 6 inch Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber, the CarPro Polyshave BlockPad the Polish Angel Master Compound 200 ml. and the Carpro Iron X Iron Remover. Hope that covers it lol. Thanks so much for your help! your videos are a treasure trove along with your quick reply's. If you have anything to add to this, I'll probably get it too.
Awesome review.am currently using autoglym hd wax on my car which looks amazing but seems bit cloudy after a wash or two.am planning to do somorange peel leveling with carpro orange peel pads.then open to a polish to follow that up .and thinking about carpro essence for final jeweling and sealing. Any further advice or product recomendations from car craft auto detailing would be greatly appreciated
Cheers thanks for your response.l9ve ya vids and product reviews.even better that ya in melb like me and not overseas.so would u recomwnd a step between the orangepeel pad and the essense.or will 2 steps suffice.was also looking at carpro reflect looks like a promising product also
Thank you for replying, I watched that after I commented on this :). Awesome video! BTW, I am new to detailing (just got my new car for 2 months) and just figure out it has a very soft paint (Subaru Impreza). It already has some small scratch on it because I dry wipe it once when I got the car (I didn't even know how to properly clean it at that time), but I am getting a DAS6 and sc s20 next week, which pad you think is good for removing these tiny scratches with sc s20?
Which sealant would you recommend for a ceramic coating topping. I have CQuartz UK. Would you recommend reload or cure more ? I used reload after I put the CQuartz on, but the reload didn’t seem to maintain the slickness after one wash. Was easy to use though.
Awesome video!! I currently love my Reload to death, just wondering if you or anyone has tried TAC Systems Moonlight?? It claims 9month durability with around 25% Sio2. To me that sounds like a great product but just wanted to see if anyone heard about it or tried it. Thanks in advance
Car Craft Auto Detailing thank you for the reply! TAC systems started in 1995 so I figure they been around long enough to at least try out. Keep the videos coming bro, love your reviews👍
I have the Wolfgang sealant but turned super watery ive shaken the bottle fro minutes but still super watery is it suppose to be like that?i noticed on your video your Wolfgang has a cream texture to it mine doesn't
Buddy, I'm from Brazil, I also have a bottle of WDGPS, and it is a little bit more watery than the one that is on the video, but I do not think that it will matter in terms of use, please, try it and tell me.

You should do a Top Best Car Ceramic Coating video :)
impossible to do as the top of the line professional ones you have to go to through the manufacturers training course and be approved to use it
I use the combo of Duragloss 101 topped with 111. Love the products.
Absolutely!
Sometimes I use 501 or 101 alone too.
111 is my favorite though.
I was never impressed with Opti-Seal. I've had a bottle since 2015 or so. Still have it too.

Awesome review Sandro! I like a wax like finish. Can you recommend a spray wax or sealant with an excellent wax like finish? Thank you!

Mckees37 high deff paint sealant is my go to. Wolfgang is probably the best sealant out there

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks Sandro for a quick reply. Really appreciate it.
Another awesome video !
sandre.....!!! very informative. keep it up bro.
how often we should use Reload on a already sealed vehicle.? Can reload be used as primary sealent ? or is it like a quick detailer?
Exellent Vid bro ! Doing better vids than the yanks! Which sealant lasts the longest?
i have 'em too... ultimate collections.
well done!
Hey Sandro is Reload as good as Jet Lustre and megs ceramic wax?
Reload is one of the forefathers of ceramic spray sealants and to this day is still a beautiful spray coating. All sealants have stronger and weaker points as no sealant is the best on every single category, so it really comes down to what you’re looking for in that product.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing i really appreciate your reply thanks champion. I'll be buying some in the coming weeks

Once I figured out how to properly apply Opti-Seal, it has become favorite sealant.
Do you feel that today's spray sealants like TW Seal and Shine are as good or better in gloss and durability compared to more traditional sealants like power lock and wolfgang? Or is ot just there ease of application that gives them advantage? Another great video.
Thanks, and in my experience a lot of the new spray sealants do tend to look and perform better.
Do you ever top any of these with a good wax?
Yes, I’ve use used many different waxes over many sealants in the past.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Do you have a favorite wax?
There’s few waxes I like, Scholl Concepts Premium Vintage Wax is fantastic but also crazy expensive, Meguiars Deep Crystal Wax is a great affordable wax, Collinite 845 is another great all rounder and there’s definitely a few more.
you mentioned there are some waxes which don't stain trim,, which are those and maybe make a video featuring those and their application and durabilty
very nice, complete and clear guidance, thank you so much for job :-)
I think it is just missing a comparative table with some evaluation to made comparison of some characteristic quicker
Nice,hello from Brazil,the best is Wolf? Or nova jet? Bye

@@darrellhoward9755 Reload is proven to last and you use less. Much better product.
Did you check out Sonax Polymer Net Shield?
Great Video but you should have a look at the underdog Auto Glym Paint sealant ,long lasting and depth .

What is best for UV protection. Wax or Sealants
I can ask you something... your best products about plastic trim...?glaze?quick detailing?past wax? Car shampoo?
not fuss with one or two parts. just keep them coming. :) do you use any Autosmart products?

modern protectants will give you two things. marginally more protection and an price that is extreme. are they worth it? not really.
no TACsystem Products :(
