Winter detail...

Winter is coming (well, it's not a real winter in Sacramento, it doesn't snow, although I visit South Lake Tahoe often, and it snows there). So I'm thinking of a good plan of protection, that I'm planning to do within 3 weeks or so (still have a coat of Liquid Souveran, that I applied a couple weeks ago).

Strip off carnauba and start with Klasse Twins (AIO, then 2 coats of SG 12-24 hours apart). Then top it off with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran x2.

Or go with a different sealant like Menzerna FMJ x2 (Final Polish II to strip off coat of carnauba first). Then apply a couple coats of carnauba.

Or a thinrd option I was thinking about was DP sealant new formula. Again 2 coats of sealant, then two coats of carnauba wax.

Of carnauba waxes, I was also thinking about using DP Max Wax, Poorboy's Natty Blue or Meguiar's #16. I am not planning to use Pinnacle Souveran paste this winter. I'll save it so summer.

Let me know what you guys/gals think. Again, I do like trying different combos. Thanks in advance.

Don't be afraid to try Collinite if you want real protection. Consensus is that it doesn't look as good as many waxes, but I just put two coats on my black car and it looks pretty dang good and should last a long time.

I would love to see the DP sealant coupled with the Max Wax, it won't be the most durable combination of the ones you listed there, but oh, it would be so beautiful and shiny.

My plan of attack (cause I hate cold weather and will not be doing ANY washing of mine and the wifes car) is PB EX-P x2 (24hr apart) toped with #16 x2. With #16 along I got almost 4 months in south Fl summer so this should get me by with ease.

No washing during winter?
If I were you I would at least do a no rinse wash with DP 4 in 1 rinseless wash and shine.

On my car I plan on 2 coats of DP Sealant and then a couple coats of a nuba.... Just trying to decide on which....
One one hand, NB is probably more durable than MW, BUT (and this is the nail biter!) MW is probably 10x easier to apply and remove, so another coat on a nice day will be easier to apply....
Decisions... Decisions....
