I will soon be testing out Cquartz dlux and Ultimate TTGP in the mix. They were not delivered in time for the head to head.
The vinyl was deep cleaned with 1z deep plastic cleaner and brushes then dried. All products were applied with microfiber towels. All products were applied in 3 separate treatments over the course of 10 minutes. It was warm enough for the products to set up between applications.
Before:
First up, Wolfgang exterior trim sealant applied on the left after 3 applications.
I taped off the Wolfgang(overlapping on top of the product...full disclosure and all) and applied the 1z next.
Your eyes are not tricking you. After 15~20 minutes, the Wolfgang more-or-less disappeared. This is the biggest surprise from this whole bit. I have nothing against Autogeek and I have no axe to grind in regards to them(I like the company). The Wolfgang Trim Sealant just didn`t do anything. It may be that I received a bad mix/batch which is not impossible. Bottom line, it didn`t do anything in this case.
I did the same thing for the 303, I taped over the 1z so that the product could bump right against the 1z.
The 303 went all the way around the right corner.
There was a bit of an optical illusion with these photos. You will see a darker bit move around in some of the latter shots. This is a reflection of my black shirt making that spot look darker/deeper. I tried to split the difference in this shot. You can still see a hard line that separates the 1z and 303.
Finale
It`s not very easy to tell from the shots, but I believe the 1z won in terms of appearance and I know from personal experience that the 1z can last a few months. I ended up recoating the whole whale tail underside with the 1z as well as treating all of the exterior vinyl with it. In my book 1z stands above these others.
