Dunno. This stuff has a sealant added it for that purpose. For the OCD, like myself, I have been looking for a more rewarding result. I came across this product through a friend that is a pro detailer. He raved about it. I've been getting into the more exotic waxes and this one followed suit. If you have the itch to keep your car looking its best all the time then durability has only a small (if any) influence on what I use. I have been using Pinnacle Concours and was about to try Zymol Classic (not your standard Wally World Zymol) but held off until I saw the results. What I was lacking was that "pop" that I saw at a recent car meet. There were a few Corvettes there and all were using wax, one was Zaino. Side by side, I thought the waxed cars looked better even before I knew which car used what product. Zaino is a great product for the occasional polisher and gives a great shine. I wanted more on this black Z4 of mine. I think I found it.
