What to seal with in winter?

[Smoke244]

I am hoping to do some paint correction and polishing on my daily driver with TSR and Finishing Glaze over the winter however, I am not sure what to seal it with. I have WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant and would love to apply it however; I won't be able to keep the car dry for 12 hours or even warm for that period of time. Any suggestions or should I just wait, am I wasting time trying to do this now?

You should be fine using the below product:

Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax, high melt polymer car wax, Finish care auto wax (http://www.autogeek.net/finish-kare-1000p-wax.html)

Honestly, if you are going to utilize the proper wash methods, any time is fine to do paint correction, even in the winter. If the Wolfgang sealant is all you have, let it cure as long as possible and go on with life. Don`t go buy another product because of this. I do not see why a coat would last you the rest of the winter months.

I've read that most of the curing happens in a short period of time, so he may not lose much durability if conditions aren't perfect.

Thanks guys, I have never used this product and just wondered how critical the cure time is. I will likely go with the WG and give it a few hours cure time in my warm shop then apply again in the spring.

Bob^^^ This.

I looked at the Finish Kare, the product and reviews look great and so does the price. I am going to save the WG and order this.

Based on the product description and the high melt point, this sounds like it could be a good option for protecting wheels.

Off topic, but did anyone else notice this:

Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax was developed from a West German process called Synthesis...

"West German"!? They must not have updated their product copy in 25 years!

I've had good luck with Duragloss 105 / 111 as well as Menzerna's PowerLock sealants in Canada's cold temps.

I don't know if that's true for all sealants, but I do know that Blackfire is formulated to be about 80% cured by the time you wipe it off.

I find spray waxes work preety good in the Winter. Just apply after you wash and dry the car.. Not sure how practical it is in areas were the avg high is below freezing.
