    Is it a wax or sealant?

    Is there any difference in the job they do other than a wax containing natural substances (e.g. carnauba wax)?

    I bought everything I put above, but instead of Dodo Juice/Colinite I'm going to try this stuff:

    Will let you know how it goes.
    guys rave about this product over on detailing world.

    You might consider adding the meguiars last touch product to your range as a drying aid gives you more lube when drying the car creating less swirls. Then a wee finish with FK425
    Cooper Coupe...

    It's a sealant, but I'm new to this so no real idea what the difference is! It's not natural, and apparently you don't get the depth you get with a wax, however it goes on a treat and the finish is pretty good.

    I tried them out tonight on my wifes Polo and I forgot to take before shots, but these should give you an idea.

    It had a wash with Duragloss 901, dried and then a layer of the black hole applied. Finally, I used the Finish Kare stuff - it's going to last years...

    What do you reckon?
