    I am looking for the best protection for my new truck. The truck is outside 24-7 and under trees alot. Shine is nice nice but my #1 concern is protection and something that last. I am in the Houston area and the air and rain here are pretty crappy. This is a medium to dark metallic red. My local shop recommended Opti products(opti-seal), I have tried ClearKote on previous vehicles and was not impressed. I will not be polishing this truck yet just need something to keep it from the elements. Please advise

    Agreed. 476 or 845. Which ever one you can get your hands on. Some boat marine`s will sell it, also most Harbor Freights carry it. Luckily we have "The Andersons" here in Columbus, Oh 2 miles away from me that sell it. :spot

    I like Collinite 845 (Insulator Wax) which is a liquid (shake well) and like 476 is tough as nails. It also looks great too.

    +1.



    Collinite 476S = Collinite #885. This is one of the most durable products I`ve come across assuming surface prep is correct.



    I applied FK1 1000p on my car this past weekend. It`s supposed to be as durable, but with a nicer look.



    My dk red car, 2 layers of 1000p:











    Enjoy.

    One Grand Blitz wax, but make sure you apply tape to your trim.

    zaino = overrated IMO...i have used a whole kit down to the last drop, never really got the results that warranted the price/time!
