Good Winter Protectant?

Which product would you want on your car if you where traveling to a bad winter state like Montana (no offense meant) for a month only.

I know you didn't list it but I just wanted to point out that Meguiar's #20 Polymer Sealant is more than capable of doing the job too.

Its what I have on both mine and my wife's daily drivers right now (used it on mine last winter too). And winter doesn't get much worse than what we have up here in Northern Alberta.

I will say any but #2,4,6,and 8. Only because I have not used them yet. The other products are will last beyond a month or so especially the Klasse twins.

Collinite is the sleeper and putting favorites aside for raw protection this stuff is hard to beat. It's not the most user friendly, it wont last as long as some of the sealants, but for a month only it would be hard to bet against collinite.

wow surprised so many votes for #16, had it as a topper over Klasse SG, and the car got covered in dirt,salt, etc... from a Canadian winter, sat like that for a month, gave it a washing and #16 was nowhere to be seen. There was no #16 beading at all. However it still sheated like mad, at least my SG survived.

Well the key was for a month, and during the cold season. I put 4 sealants and 4 waxes up there out of curiousity. I think waxes are very good at protecting during winter. I am suprised that 16 is getting more votes than Collinite though, maybe many of you haven't tried it yet.

In my experience, #16 is the most durable on that list I have used. Even some of my customers are now commenting on how long it beads.

The color of the night sky when there's no moon, sun,stars, planets, or light present. Hey that was easy.

I think any of those could protect a car for a month during winter. But I would choose of these three: Collinite, SG, or #16.
