I am looking for the most durable sealant or wax.



This is for my winter car, which mean I really don`t care about the looks, all I care about is protection so I won`t have to re-wax or re-seal during winter.



Any ideas?

Welcome to Autopia!



Wax- Most will say one of the Collinite waxes; likely 467S

Sealant- Too many...I`m sure there are several that are very comparable in terms of durability.

Collinite 476 will get you through the winter. As for sealants, Duragloss and Zaino are probably the most durable.

Anyone knows about Meguiars M21 Synthetic Sealant, I`ve hear its a good sealant to as well as NXT2.0?

The NXT 2.0 will only last you through about 2 washes before it`s gone.



I`ve tested out a few and the Zaino seems to last the longest IMO.

+3. My car sits outside all winter in Alaska. I rely on 476s and am very pleased with the protection. And I think the looks are fine too. I`ll do my winter detail in September (3 coats) and it will last me until I can wax again in April.

I`ve always used Zaino for winters. 3 layers of Z5 or Z2 Pro (ZFX`d) and didn`t have a problem with bi-weekly washes and vehicles that sat outside.



476 is good stuff; many use it here on top of a sealant as a sacrificial layer.

I still have not found anything that will outlast 845. One application of 845 got me through the entire NE winter last year..

As mentioned, the Collinite lineup is very durable. Personally, I`ve found Duragloss to be a little longer lasting (501 + 601 + 105 is a bulletproof process).

Klasse SG is VERY durable, I would say it is even more durable than Collinite but not by much. Not many people use SG since Collinite and Duragloss are much easier to use with nearly the same results.

I find that a bit doubtful. I recently (June 18th) applied 2 coats of 845 to my car. The hood has almost stopped beading after 2 months and the rest of the car still "beads" so to speak, but it is nowhere near the razor sharp beads that formed after my initial application. Not to mention that we are in the middle of summer here in Chicago and the car gets washed about once every 2 weeks or so. I will be trying Duragloss in a few weeks and hope that it holds up a bit better.
