    Winterizing packages

    Hey fellow users

    This up coming winter will be my first winter in business as I just opened my business last spring.
    On my personal car I usually coat with a sealant for the winter.

    Do you have any suggestions that you could throw at me for winter protection?

    Cheers

    For my winter details I normally use Menzerna Sealant topped with either Blackfire Midnight Sun or Collinite 845. Both look great and really last. We have pretty bad winters here in the NC Mountains and the combo will hold up most of the winter. Our DOT puts alot of salt and sand on the roads.

    Almost exactly the combination I used on our new X5, Menzerna sealant and Collinite 476.

    Just one coat of Coll 845 works for me. I RW with DGRW+Aquawax until it gets too cold to RW in the garage, then I hit the touchless every few weeks until spring. It held up through last year's brutal winter.

    Re: Winterizing packages

    I would go with #476 as my winter LSP, its what I have on my car right now and I may add 1 more coat but will do a speedy prep wipe before had though just to completely clean things up before applying the #476 again. Do I need a 2nd coat, nope

    After careful review. I think I will stay with power lock and 845.
