Lucky are you! I hate winter time with sand and salt all over the car and I don't have a garage....not forgetting snow storms and -20o F temperature.

Re: Question about collinite 845

ive read about alot of sucess topping WG with a variety of products nubas and the like, and many report great results with the collonite.

i was planning the 2 coats of WG and topped with collonite on my truck for my winter clean up, but i just ordered some Opti Coat...never tried it...so fingers crossed.

You can test winter-prep combos yourself. Just apply them to your car, and then do as little as you can detailing wise to it in the next 4-8months.

The key to surviving winter is to embrace it.

After a complete wash and clay, my 1999 Dodge Dakota will get a quick polish with Menzerna Super Finish PO106 FA. This really does a great job at removing most minor surface defects and the gloss is outstanding.

Once this is completed I'll do 2 coats of Menzerna Power Lock sealant, 12 hours apart, then a final coat of Collinite 845 ....

All the plastic trim will be treated with CQuartz DLux Plastic & Wheel Coating and the windshield will be cleaned and protected using Aquapel.

Throughout the winter I'll wash and maintain using several products especially a quality spray wax like Optimum Spray Car Wax or Duragloss Aquawax ..
I put two coats of Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection sealant and one coat of Collinite 845 on my Jetta a couple of weeks ago. Today, I came out after work and the car was covered with water spots. Apparently they must have turned on the sprinklers for a few seconds because they were small spots, but they were everywhere.

When I got home, I tried to remove the spots with Meg's QD, but that did nothing. I tried Ultima Waterless Wash Plus and also had no luck removing the spots. I can't believe these spots won't come off with all that protection on the paint!

Do I have to go back to square one and wash, polish, seal, and wax?

Two of the cars in my family fleet are German, absolutely miserable for brake dusting. After a thorough cleaning they each got a coat or two of 845. Now, all that's necessary for maintenance is to use my leftover wash media, either soap or ONR with a soft brush. If I'm doing a bucket wash, all but a thin film of the brake dust blows off with the hose.
It lasts for months. I see absolutely no need for a dedicated wheel sealant. 845 or 476 definitely rocks for wheels!

I have to agree both my vehicles get 845 on the paint and the wheels. It does s great job. I will second the part of not seeing a point for wheel sealant.

I usually just wax or seal my wheels with whatever I put on the paint, and I was just curious if 845 does any better of a job than say wgdgps. From what I'm hearing the wheels will be getting a coat or two on all the cars

The car is dark grey. Yeah, I'm sure they are water spots but I don't blame you for asking since this baffles me, too.

I'm going to try to wash them off this weekend. I really hate the idea of doing a strong wash and starting the whole process over again. In fact, if I do that much work and still get water spots that easy, I may just give up...

Re: Question about collinite 845

I had the same type of thing happened when I tried to put Zaino Z-2/Z-5 on top of Prima Amigo. This was way back when Amigo just came out. The first time the car got wet I had white spots everywhere that I couldn't remove with shampoo or QD. It looked like dried wax around the edges (circumference) of the spots. Ended up spraying each panel with Prep-All panel wipe, then started over again.

I've heard others having good luck putting Zaino on top of Amigo since then so maybe something in Amigo has changed since then
