Best waxes and sealants? 最好的蜡与封体?
Based on the goodly number of testimonies I have read over the past year and limited personal experience, here are some suggestions for the "best" carnauba waxes and synthetic sealants under $250 (retail):
根据我过去所阅读过的大量测试文章与有限的个人经验,将价格250美元以下的各价格区间的最佳的蜡与封体条列如下:
Carnauba Waxes:棕梠蜡
$10-$15: Meguiar's M26 Yellow Tech Wax, Collinite 845, Optimum Car Wax
$15-$20: Natty's Blue, Natty's Red, Clearkote Carnauba Moose Wax, Collinite 476, Harly Wax, S100
$20-$30: Collinite 915, DP Max Wax
$30-$40: Lusso Oro, P21S
$40-$50: Pinnacle Signature, P21S 100%, Victoria Concours Red
$50-$60: ######### Midnight Sun, Chemical Guys 50/50, Chemical Guys Pete's '53, Wet Obsession
$60-$75: Dodo Juices
$75-$100: Pinnacle Souveran
$100-$125: Dodo Juice Supernatural, Zymol Glasur
$125-$150: Swissvax Saphir
$150-$200: Wolfgang Fuzion, Zymol Concours
$200-$250: Swissvax Concorso/Best of Show/Smaragd
$250+: You must have very deep pockets!
Synthetic Sealants:聚合物系封体
$10-$15: DuraGloss 105, Mother's FX SynWax, Jeff Werkstatt's Acrylic Jet Trigger, Zaino Z-2 Pro
$15-$20: Meguiar's NXT, Mother's Relections, Finish Kare Hi Temp Synthetic Paste Wax (1000p), 1Z Glanz Wax, Jeff Werkstatt's Acrylic Jet, Poorboy's EX-P, Zaino Z-5 Pro, Ultima Paint Guard Plus (4 oz.)
$20-$30: ######### Wet Diamond, Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze, Opti-Seal (8 oz.), Meguiar's M21 Synthetic Sealant,
$30-$40: Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant, Menzerna FMJ, Chemical Guys Jet Seal, Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection
$40+: Why is it we are willing to pay so much more for a carnauba wax than a synthetic sealant?
Cleaner Waxes清洁蜡
$5-$10: Meguiar's ColorX, Meguiar's Cleaner Wax, Mother's Carnauba Cleaner Wax
$10-$15: DuraGloss 501, AutoGlym Super Resin Polish
$15-$20: Optimum Poli-Seal, Jeff's Werkstatt Prime
$20-$30: Meguiar's M20 Polymer Sealant, Klasse All-in-One, Zaino Z-AIO, Jeff's Werkstatt Prime (Acrylic, Carnauba, Strong), M66 Quick Detailer Polish (gallon)
$30-$40: Meguiar's D151 Paint Reconditioning Creme (gallon)
The above products can often be found on sale at various websites, sometimes at significant reductions. The comparative pricing is inaccurate in some cases, because specific products come in different sizes: for example, Ultima Paint Guard is listed in the $15-$20 bracket and Opti-Seal is listed in the $20-$30 bracket, but the former is sold in a 4 oz. bottle and the later in an 8 oz. bottle--with both a little product goes a long way. D151 is listed in the $30-$40 bracket, but it is only sold by the gallon (though Auto Detailing Solutions does sell a 32 oz. sampler for $14.95). I have not attempted to "equalize" products by pricing them by the ounce. Also remember that "more expensive" does not always mean "better." Shipping costs must also be taken into consideration.
上述產品于各销售网站常会有促销活动,有时候还大减价!上述价格在某些情况下可能不是很正确,因為有些產品所贩卖的包装容量不一:例如,Ultima Paint Guard列于$15-$20价格区间,而Opti-Seal列于$20-$30中,但前述者贩卖容量仅有4oz,後者却有8oz容量,两小包装的產品都是可以用很久的。D151价格列于$30-$40区间,但仅销售加崙容量的包装( Auto Detailing Solutions 网站有卖32 oz.试用包装$14.95)。我并不想用等量包装的价格比去看待所有產品,另外,并非越贵的產品就有越好的表现。再者,运费也是必须考量的因素之一。
