| Question about collinite 845
I sealed the family cars up with wgdgps for the winter, but after reading about collinite's 845 being an awesome winter wax, I ordered sone and would love to try it. Question is, am I wasting my time applying it over the wgdgps, or would it be beneficial as I'm just adding another layer of protection? I know wgdgps is awesome as is and I love it, but I also love waxing and adding more protection  but with it getting colder quick, I don't want to waste my time putting it on it it's gonna be a waste of my time. Input is appreciated!

845 has plenty of solvents so it'll be just fine on top of most anything. Leave a section of just WG and see how they compare.

Personally, I don't think it would be a waste of time. Many members will lay their favorite sealant down first and then top with 845 for winter. Essentially then the 845 would have to wear off first.
But why not just top with another coat of WGDGPS? 2 coats of it get my truck through the harsh UP winters, and its outside 24/7.
Kind of similar thread: ? About WolfGang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant

Oh I agree Chris, I have 2 coats on them as is of dgps, it's just my OCD of wanting to use another wax and add extra protection for winter. I've used the dgps before with only one coat and it lasts forever it seems, it's great stuff

it's harder to work with and it gums up your foam applicator but it sure it durable. It would probably work well on top of that WG sealant. If you are going for durability, might as well go whole hog.

For winter here's my plan and it always includes a sealant then Collinite 845..
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'd take that any day of the week over trying out winter combos lol
But... lately my girlfriend's car has undergone lots of wax stripping and different waxes, so I kind of have a test car hahah  | |
