Whats your fav wax/ sealant for the diff seasons

I'm sure this has been posted but I would just like to see whatt everyones "favs" are in certian areas: this is what I use/ have used and like it thus far:

Wax/ Sealant

Winter: wax: 476s /1Z Glanz Wax
Summer: ClearKote carnuba moose wax/ FMJ or Z2 depends on my mood
all around: M16/ 1Z or Z2
All for show: P21s or S100 or nattys red/ Z2

I want to try some more stuff out but thus far this is what I like.

For the winter I have yet to use thee 476s but have read alot of great stuff about it and plan on picking some up and givinig it a shot to see how it holds up. I love the 1Z it holds up great and looks great too, has a odd stink to it but I kinda like it now, So far Ive seen 5 months and this stuff still was going strong. For the summer I've used the clearkote moose wax and I must say it really looks great on blues and blacks, have yet to try it on a light color but it looks great, not sure how long it lasts as its on my freinds jeeps. I used FMJ for about a year and just started to not like it the durability is lacking I thought it was going to last alot longer but to my disapointment its slickness faded fast, but it did look great. My all around selection was the easiest to choose; megs
M16 may not be the best lookiing wax out there but dammit its looks great to me and lasts, for the sealant love 1Z it lasts a long time and looks great, I just added Z2 to my pile of sealants but so far... Im in love. My All show no go stuff is a little lacking, I want to try pinnicale or wolfgangs but $$$$$ it just dont seem worth the price unless I get a exotic car or bike move through p21s does the trick for me. once again Z2 I think will be the win for this one but its to early to tell.

What about you?

Sealant - Ultima Paint Guard Plus
Wax - Swissvax Saphir

Both of these may change

These days I use the same stuff year-round, but different stuff on different vehicles.

Re: Whats your fav wax/ sealant for the diff seasons

right now I have 3 cans of #16, and 1 can of 476S, all new. Probably will just use these year round until I run out.

Re: Whats your fav wax/ sealant for the diff seasons

wax is usually DP's Max Wax or Danase's Classic wax. Sealant of choice always seems to fall back on Danase's paint Sealant. all good stuff

Re: Whats your fav wax/ sealant for the diff seasons

i find this so far to very interesting, I thought more people would use more products than one or two. Now I really might think I have a problem.

I used to be one of those guys with about 6-7 different LSP's, different grades of Vinyl Protectant, etc... I tried UPGP over the summer, - a nice alternative when it is hot outside, and you need a easy product to work with.

I have a DD, and I live in a populated area, so my priority is protection vs. look.

Although one might argue that #16 & 476S have unique qualities/look also.
