Ultima, anyone?
Anyone out there tried Ultima products??? They seem to be very pricey, I just wonder how well do they work, and if they are really worth the price? I have Optimum Opti-Seal, and am pretty happy with it ($25 for 8 oz bottle). I don't wanna pay $75 for 12 oz bottle if it's pretty much the same thing...
Anyone??? TIA...

I bought the Sampler kit when it was available....It contained the spray sealant...the prep polish and a detailer spray and a pouch of car wash....
I did 2 cars with it...and it does look very good on darker paints..very slick...I did 3 coats on each over a weeks time period....it was done in Sept....now come close to december..they look alright..not as slick as when done...still beading very well...and gloss seemed to fall off some...I do not think it will make a winter sealant..more of a summer thing...would I use it again...yes....only for the summer...would I buy it again...no....I would by Zaino for the money as it has a better look and lasts better.... SAVE YOUR MONEY... AL

OK....Wolfgang has a nice look to it..sorta a warm Carnuba look to it..but its only downfall is durability...its very short lived on a car outside 24/7.....nice for garage queens...also depends on climate also....works nice in warm dry climates...bad is rainy or snowy climates...
Zaino Z-5 is the one I like..it has the better look ...Z-2 reminds me of Klasse..very glossy High Shine....lacks any depth....Z5 has more of the warm look to it...2 coats gives you the warm deep look with a wet look also....and slicker..... Now if I was to have the Wolfgang look..I would get Poorboys EX over WG...sorta the same look...but lasts a bit longer..and cheaper also....PB's EX is a much better product..in My books .... Al

lots of good info here, maybe ill give zaino another shot in the new year.
I have tired opti-seal, its a good product. It does an ok job in terms of looks and durabilty, but its quick. I have it on my dads car. I can put on a cot of duragloss and top it up every week or two with opti-seal. Althouh the clear sealents IMO dont perfrom as well, they do have a place in my detailing chest
