    Could anyone tell me their thoughts about acrylic vs polymer paint sealants? Pros/cons?

    I used liquid glass back in the day, and Zaino (polymer)now. Results are similer but polymers are much easier to remove. I highly recommend Zaino. Thier regular polishs work great but take some time to layer. Thier clear seal is a really nice, one step no buffing product. It seems a bit pricy, but a little goes a long way. Car has to be dry when you put it on or it will streak. Streaks go away after a hard rain or another wash though. I seem to get 4 to 6 months between coats.

    they both have a limited lifespan. no matter what you applied I'd recommend occasional spray waxing to add additional protection (something like shine supply wet detailer or megs ultimate quik wax)

    more often than not I use polymer sealants (blackfire wet diamond). I stopped using Klasse sealant glaze (acrylic) years ago because its so difficult to work with even in a controlled environment. Not worth the headache.
