Black paint summer suggestions

[EricR]

I've been using the BFWD products on my black 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee since new. They seem like pretty decent products but, I'm wondering if there is something better for my application.

I find that the BFWD paint sealant doesn't seem to hold up to the Texas sun. I live in the Houston area and the summers are brutal. The sides of the truck do ok but, the hood, roof, and the tops of the fenders need help. The BFWD sealant only seems to last a couple of months on the upper surfaces and needs regular upkeep with the spray.

Is there something better that I should be using? Is there something that I could use on top of the BFWD? I'd like something that gives a nice deep glossy look and provides an extra layer of protection.

I've read a lot about the Collinite 845. Would this be a good choice? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
Eric

Thanks! I know. I'm having a problem with Firefox. Is it possible to delete?? Ugh!

Instead of using a sealant and a topper, a coating like Carpro's Cquartz or Optimum's Opti-Coat may be a good alternative for you..:xyxthumbs: I use to be strictly a nuba, or a sealant/nuba guy, but 95% of what I do now is "coatings". Here's a couple of pictures (I had quick access to) of black cars I've coated with CQ Finest ...

In your type of summer environment, a sealant that lasts a couple of months
is doing pretty good in my book.

You just may have to reapply them (or their "spray") more often than what
some of us living in States like Ohio will do during our summer times.

I've been known to use Collinite Waxes (#845;#915) year 'round.
I've also seen it hit 100/100+ a few times up here...every now and then.
