Longest Lasting One Step with DA

[wn1998]

Looking for something that will give my daily drivers a little correction but will also give it 4-6 months of protection for our harsh Chicago Winter. I have no issues top coating it as long as I don't need to wait for it to "cure".

Also, which DA pad do you suggest to apply it?

I typically apply some sort of sealant or wax 2x a year and the cars are garage kept.

My cars are a 2014 VW Jetta (silver) and a 2009 Nissan Versa (Blue)

D151 always works well for me

4-6 months of Winter-protection from an AIO?
That's a pretty tall order:
Adding a Sealant (top coating?) to the
AIO-regimen is almost a given, IMO.

So...Here's what I'll suggest:
•Go with the following product as your AIO:
- Finish Kare 215 One Step Cleaner & Surface Sealant, cleaner wax, paint cleaner and paint sealant, finish care
-Apply using a foam polishing pad/DA

•Then follow-up with this (Sealant) product:
- Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax, high melt polymer car wax, Finish care auto wax
-Apply using a foam Wax/Sealant pad (by: hand/Da)

Thanks bob! I was thinking Finish Kare 1000P or Collinite, and just need something to gently clean up the paint.

Klasse AIO, klasse all in one 10 ounce, klasse all in one polish, klasse acrylic polish w/LC white pad.

I agree with Bob.

Finish Kare 215 One Step Cleaner & Surface Sealant and Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax are a great combo. The FK215 has quite a bit of correction ability. It works well with a rotary.

This combo is my minivan special. I use the FK215 with a green heavy polishing pad on my Makita BO4060 (in forced rotation mode) and get surprisingly good correction. The FK215 also pulls a lot of dirt out of the paint.

If you just need cleaning, Duragloss 501, and 101 are very durable, but don't offer as much correction. They do clean very well though.

Megs D301 survived an Indiana Winter without much issue. However, I am guessing an Ultimate Liquid wax topper would've made it last a bit longer.

Poli Seal and a quick topping of Optimum Car Wax or Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax has always worked quite well for me.

D151, then maintain with UQW.
