Was ceramic coated about 3 years ago, but daily driven through the Northeast and I'm sure it's worn off. Frankly, I like the whole reap what you sow aspect of waxing. My question is what is everyone using as a wax and sealant?

I see good things written about Meguairs 21.

There's been that 34 product test floating around recently and Nu Finish seems to be getting the nod for non-ceramic coating.

Crazy...NuFinish is ancient!

Adams Ceramic Coating as base sealant.
Adams Ceramic Boost every other wash.
Adams Detail spray for touch-up and when drying the car. (entire car is almost completely hydrophobic now)
Magnetic looks a mile deep

PowerLock Plus for a paste sealer.

C2V3 is an excellent silica spray product.

Both protect well with similar longevity.

Obviously a true ceramic coating will provide better protection and far more longevity.

I've been using the Griot's Liquid Gloss Poly Wax on my Focus since new, and have no plans to switch to something else.

I have my detailer use Meguiars 21 and it lasts a long time, like a year, but then I park my car inside and really don't drive it everyday.

+1 for Griot's Liquid Gloss Poly Wax. Just drove to Orlando and back through a storm of love bugs, the wax really helped to keep them from sticking to the paint.

Jescar topped with Collinite 845.. 2 months in and super beading still!
X2. Another plug for 2 products that just work well together. Fantastic shine, long lasting, not expensive, easy to apply.

+1 for Nu Finish. Been using it for years and love the protection it provides. Especially down here in the south where the sun is punishing and rain comes in torrents.

I have used Meg's NXT Tech 2.0 for a long time, maybe a decade?

I recently tried Meg's ULW and I think I like it better than NXT, and tonight I topped it with Meg's Gold Class carnuba and like how it looks. Time will tell how long it lasts.

It started raining this evening so I didn't get a chance to try out Meg's microfiber DA kit on the truck, but I did get a shot of the results of the Meg's Gold Class on ULW.
