The product you mentioned, and I have to repeat myself, is only available to most people online.
I'm not having a war about which product is better, at all. I'm stating that Meguiar's NXT 2.0 is readily available, does an acceptable job, and is easy to apply. If a motorist does that, he's already well ahead of most car owners anyhow. And I am well aware of Meguiar's professional products. As I've mentioned in other threads, I deal directly with some of these chemical companies as part of one of my businesses.
The product you pointed out is sold out at the Canadian distributor, and it's 75% more than retail NXT. Note that the supplier I'm quoting for Wolfgang generally beats normal retail on pricing, so this is an expensive product. I do buy detailing products online, all the time. And, I order some products in industrial quantities.
So, yes, tell me more about a product priced way higher than NXT, and that I can't even buy. I'll put in on my shelf next to my PUP. Oh wait, I can't really get that, either.

You made an incorrect blanket statement about longer lasting products taking longer to apply, and you don't want to admit it for whatever reason.
Life span of paste vs liquid is not applicable to sealants.
You want to talk cost. It is 50% more than retail NXT 2.0 on the same site I linked. But even factoring in shipping vs buying in store, say that is say $30 USD. I posted it for the OP, not you in Canada. But since you think you understand detailing products, understand that the number of useful applications per bottle is much higher for what I linked. And that is how true cost is factored. So is the cost actually higher? It could be 150% more money and still have value. What is your time worth? NXT would require 4-5 applications to last the same span as 2 applications of the Wolf Gang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant.
Your advice is a lesson in how to be penny wise and pound foolish.
