It`s August here in the north east and the trees have just about stopped dropping stuff on my car. My car is out side 24/7
but defently time to get all that sealant off and hit it with wax
What`s your favorite wax for red
 
I don`t have a red car, but have seen some pics of Poorboy`s Natty`s line of waxes on red and they look great (IMO). I have the nattys black and it`s zero effort to apply and remove, shouldn`t be any different with the other ones.

They have a Nattys Red, if you are into putting same wax color on same paint color.
 
Poor boys was just around the corner from me till they moved to Florida I should have picked some up
 
I use these on my red truck.

The Dodo Purple Haze sheets water for months.
Gave up a darker red, with another layer of color that catches the light.
I just tried the Vic`s Red, WOWO kinda wax, it did fill some, a deep rich red. I liked it.

I used Dodo Juice Purple Haze for the first time two nights ago. It was one of the easiest waxes to wipe off. I put it on my neighbors blue 2004 Ram, so I unfortunately won`t be seeing it sheet. Looking forward to "Hazing" my <<<<Trans Am<<<
 
After reading thousands of posts it finally sunk in that wax should be my only option for my car because its outside 24/7 and it seams like it`s always raining around here that Vic red looks interesting

Actually, sounds like the perfect scenario for a coating. Have a daily driver, bought new in 10/2016...immediately coated.

Car sits outside 9 months a year, rain, sleet, snow, oak leaves, maple tree droppings, bird bombs...doesnt always get the attention it deserves.

Just washed it a few minutes ago, paint is still unstained, unmarked, looks better than new. Rock solid, water runs right off after storm.

Used Gyeon Mohs on a work truck last February, never washed since; left a bird bomb in the hood for a week or two, no detrimental effects. Truck still looks good.

Find a coating that excels in self cleaning, good to go.

Eh, if I had an outside 24/7 vehicle I`d be all about maximum protection and I wouldn`t give a [toss] about whether it was the "right LSP for this color". I`d be worried about genuine *damage* from inadequate protection.

Guess everybody here knows that I`d use FK1000P in a situation like that. A few applications during times when trees aren`t dropping [stuff] oughta last just fine through the rest of the year, and birds might become a non-issue (as they have for me).

There is nothing wrong with waxes and there are many great choices out there... but a coating product may be the better choice.

There is a coating that bonds immediately and requires no cure time. It`s also easy to apply and no more difficult to use than a wax. It will be the LSP I`m going to use on my daily driver this coming fall to get me through the harsh Wisconsin winter...

In addition to the Plasma Coat from Beasleys mentioned above, looks like their Nano Resin Ceramic Coating is pretty quick to be exposed as well:


  • Do NOT apply Nano-Resin in direct sunlight. Do not allow this product to freeze during storage.
  • If applied in temperatures less than 65-70⁰ the vehicle may need more flash time. In warmer, more arid climates Nano-Resin will need less flash time.
  • Inspect the vehicle in natural light for a better view of high spots.
  • Keep vehicle completely dry between applications and for at least 1 hour after final application. After 1 hour the vehicle can be exposed to light rain without affecting the bonding process.
  • Full cure will take 24-48 hours. After fully cured the surface will be noticeably glossier and the coating will be at full hardness.
  • Leaving the vehicle in the sun or under infrared lamps after application will shorten the amount of time needed for Nano-Resin to bond to the paint surface.
  • Avoid washing the vehicle with soap for 7 days after application. After this follow our prescribed maintenance regimen.
  • Keep bottle closed when not in use.
 
Polish angel has the Viking coat which applies like a wax. No high spot anxiety that some coatings may give you

I just used Cquartz Tio2 2017 on our new accord and it was easy as pie to use.

Wax will have you waxing more often. You will likely get only a couple months
