jlao6, thanks for the Link. I followed that Thread a few years back and thoroughly enjoyed it.
It helped me to gain an opinion and led to buying ChemGuys Jetseal109 Sealant, which is fantastic.
Here is a copy and paste of the results of that test -

Review, 12th January 2009:
The last review was start of Nov, and today was a huge task just to wash the horsebox, I used over 175 litres!
Test orignally started 10th Sept, with second group added 18th, week later. Reviews took place at 8th Oct and 1st Nov 2008.
After 4 months, the following sealants are still protecting the paintwork:
Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection
Chemical Guys: M-Seal, Jetseal 109, Speed Amor
Klasse AIO and Sealant Glaze
Hi Temp Paste
Zaino AIO, Z2 and Z5
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant.
So there you have it, my final list of what lasted four months in very extreme conditions too.
I am sorry to say I shall not be conducting any further reviews, the time is no longer available. Due to the amopunt of failures and the appearance of the horsebox there is also now a need to get it all stripped back and restored to its previous glory.
Thank you to everyone who has followed this, and I hope it has proved as useful to you, as it has to me.
After conducting my own test, I came to the conclusion that preparation - eg machine polishing is all important. There was not a big difference in results with the different waxes or sealants, in fact my findings were that DP MaxWax at a cost of $40 is all that is needed when using a Wax, or Jetseal 109 if you prefer a Sealant.
For those who prefer to spend lots of money on a Wax, my favourite is Wolfgang Fuzion Estate Wax, but that is going to cost around $200.
