A few months back I did the whole setup of wash, clay, wash, polish, sealant and wax. Now its going to be winter soon. FOr those few that never see it..it involves snow, ice, salty roads, slush (not the drinks) and weeks without detailing! Since my car is a daily driver and doesnt have shelter from the storms I was thinking of giving it an added protection for the season's elements. My Questions are this: If I wanted to put another coat of sealant on the car.,..is there a way to remove the wax without polishing? How many coats of EX-P should I use? How many coats of Wax? I am assuming that the next time I will wax the car will be in March!

Oh yea one more thing...do some waxes work better in certain climates? If so what is best for NJ?

Strip your previous protection with Klasse AIO (http://autogeek.net/klasseallinone.html) (chemical cleaner with some acrylic protection), then layer up 2 coats of EX-P (http://autogeek.net/pbexp16.html). Then top it off with either Meguiar's #16, or Collinite SuperDouble coat paste wax(#476). (http://autogeek.net/collinite-super-doublecoat--wax-476.html)These will be the most durable carnauba waxes - Ultimate winter wax. Another option could be Insulator liquid wax (http://autogeek.net/collinite-insulator-wax-845.html).
2 coats of carnauba is recommended.

ok well here is the problem...I'm doing this tomorrow. I have the EX-P and the Natty's Blue but not the KlasseAIO. Is there something else I could use or get at a local auto parts store? SOmeone had suggested using Meg's #80

Yeah the #80 will work so will the #9. You could also get Duragloss's polish/cleaner OTC too. :)

:iagree: too!

In preparation for winter I've already put 1 coat of DP Premium Surface shield and 2 coats of Collonite 845 (Insulator Liquid Wax) on my car.
