Zaino or Klasse SG for the winter, lets get a good debate going!

Having only used Klasse and not Zaino, I can't say which is best for you but I can say that Klasse AIO/SG seems to be very durable. Easy 4 months of beading and decent slickness on a black BMW X5 that isn't regularly garaged (their original garage was converted into a game room and the garage they added on is real tight for two vehicles). It probably could have gone much longer, but the owner wanted it waxed again (Wolfgang this time...which at 3 months is going strong still).



I think if you use the Klasse twins, add a second layer of SG a week later then a week after that, go over the car with #16, you should be pretty well protected. Maybe on a warm day in January or Febuary (you know, when it gets above zero!), add another coat of #16.

Go ahead and rub it in.....:(





about two years ago I bought a new car in November, it was a brutal winter. Single digits mean even the garage is not good enough to sneak in a wash N wax. I couldnt take having my new car with no protection, I was jonesin for caranuba. I decided if it cant be warm here I would go somewhere warm. I took a week off and jumped on interstate 95 and headed south. After 22 hours I was in North Fl getting gas when a woman asked if I was going to Disney, nah I said im just here to wash my car. The look on her face was priceless. Of course im sure she thought I was kidding, if they only knew how truly sick we are.



I think I will be heading back this Feb ( no joke) my folks have a place, I just wish they had a hose :sosad

And with respect to shine, I have to disagree with you. After 8 months of 3XSG 1XBlitz, my car looked fantastic the first time I hand washed it. The SG did a fantastic job of protecting the finish.



JMHO

Er...Bill, if you went 8 months without washing your car...that would mean to me it was in the garage under a cover...in which case it should look fantastic the first time you hand wash it no matter what product you had on it...
 
In my experience, multiple layers of KSG will easily keep protecting/beading/etc. for many, many months. Easily through winter and then some. Collinite might be a "carnauba wax" as opposed to a sealant, but it lasted all winter on the Volvo, and that one was parked outside 24/7.



FWIW, both vehicles were/are hand washed indoors with Griot's Car Wash on a regular basis. The KSG on the MPV has not been QDed yet is still beading almost everywhere after 13 (!) months, only sheeting where I've spot-clayed it repeatedly. Those areas still have the "SG feel", it's not like they're unprotected (bare paint feels very different).



The other sealants I've tried (BF, UPP) don't last like the SG, but might offer other advantages such as slickness. Meg's #16 might last all winter, it has before but it did need redone by spring.

No the car is a daily driver that sees every day of winter.



Let me explain. August to end of oct was handwashed once every 3 weeks. From Nov to end of march it went thru the touchless automatic car wash at the gas station once every three weeks. When I hand washed in april (first time in 5 months for a hand wash) the car looked great.
