I would think that DG 501 Marine sealant since it is made for marine use to resist salt and acidified water from acid rain..then topped with either collinite 915 or 855....my second choice would be DG 105 ...since it states it has a Super-tough coating forms a protective barrier which protect against acid rain, tree sap, bird droppings and other environmental pollutants.

water spotting is a hard one to stop...if the water beads and dries and the paint has pollen or fallout on it already..it is going to spot....but will be easy to remove with a QD as the DG marine detailer..it does remove water spots....

this combo will prevent water spot etching which is a bit different than water spots...


but any real durable sealant will work good...a GOOD DURABLE wax is better in my books to prevent etching damage....the sealant under it is just another protective layer to help stop the actions of etching...

Collinite 476s, the beading is just off the chain. In addition, I find it releases contaminants easily.

From my experience, Permagard reactive polymer and Glare

The glare totally stops acid rain in it's tracks and hardly anything sticks to it
Plus slickness loss from washing is virtually non existant and the durability is awesome when applied by machine

only downside to glare, for best results, the whole system needs to be used
Zero, knockout, micro, spider, pro polish x 3 polishes and then a few coats of it or glare advanced as a sealant

Micro and pro polish together do greatly in protection but not in the shine department when compared to using the whole lot

Any sealant that is not water soluble makes for a better sealant for stopping water marks

Zaino gets my vote.

I guess sealants like Klasse, Duragloss, Rejex or Rod & Custom come in second.
