Winter, Spray Sealant only?

[Bigbull2984]

Does anyone do this? Maybe only use Opti Seal, BFCS, UPG, or the new WG deep gloss seal for winter.

Prep car with clay and polish and just straight to a liquid seal, logical or would this be nuts?

Has anyone tried this?

I can say that 2 coats of UPGP is rather durable and I see no problems using it for a winter sealant.

Why would that be nuts? Are you worried about your LSP not not curing? Might take a bit longer but unless it is REALLY cold it should still cure eventually.

Thanks Jim, Would BFCS be the same? I have tons of that in my stash right now.

I was going to send you a PM if this was better or Turtle Wax:laughing::laughing:

Its one of those things just too easy to be true.

These new spray sealants feels like we are cheating! I used Reload today, 2 coats as my winter protection. We'll see how it goes. If it seems to be dying off I can hit it with OPT spray wax or a spray sealant pretty easy.

I used 1 coat of DG 601/105 on our Regal last year and it lasted all winter. This year I'm testing Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection and will maintain with Ultima Paint Guard Plus as needed.

Hey man, I am doing that combo on one car(105/601), that will be the official winter beater combo.

Hahaha LOL!

I never tried BFCS but I am sure they are very similar.

Same feeling I have. Spend hours polishing and LSP can be done in 15 minutes with 2 coats:props:

BFCS is suppose to be more durable than UPGP. So I would guess you would be fine. Even if you need to top it up once a moth or so I would guess everything will be good.

[PA DETAILER]

2 coats of BFCS on mine. and since its so easy, added two coats of BFMS spray wax.

My winter DD is an ancient Olds Intrigue which spends 24/7 outside in Western PA. For the past two winters, I've done a coat of Collinite 845, then a quick midwinter topping with Optimum's Spray Wax whenever weather allows. I've had beading that lasts thru spring.

here is a picture of a Cayenne finished with Orchard Autocare Speed Seal spray Sealant. I love this for its ease of use and the brilliant finish. Plus it can be used on plastics and glass as well. so its a complete all rounder. The problem with some spray sealants is they are just heavily diluted versions of a sealant and give little or no performance, when properly made tehy are on a par with anything else out there.

I think a "spray sealant" like V7, AquaWax, or CG Blitz would not be very durable. However, the products you list are not really "spray sealants", they are WOWA sealants (wipe on, walk away). These are much more durable than "spray sealants", which are basically just quick detailers that last a little longer in my experience.

Spray sealants are more for refreshing a sealant or a wax after a wash. WOWA sealant are perfectly fine to be used as a lone LSP.
