and I did not have a great deal of urgency to look into it.\u00a0 I believe P&amp;S to be a reputable and respectable brand.\u00a0 I generally have not used many products regularly from their lineup.\u00a0 I also am wearing a ceramic coating, which I am interested in seeing without toppers.\u00a0 So that does slow down my personal evaluation of not just this product, but many other SI02 products.\u00a0 I am ceramic coating most of my new clients&#8217; cars.\u00a0 But when the opportunity presented itself, I not only was impressed in one initial category, it replaced my previous recommendation for a stand alone product.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46800\"

higher praise, but I have not had the opportunity to really test this enough for longevity on paint, against other SI02 sealants.\u00a0 Based upon my worst case expectation of durability, I would recommend P&#038;S Defender now.\u00a0 If this product shows itself to hold up comparably with some of the more challenging to difficult long-term products, this might be one of the best slept on products in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison to other recently used SIO2 sealants, I find this to be my preference.\u00a0 That is a win with respect to the combination of ease of use and durability.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a product demonstration from Renny Doyle.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"
