    How about a permanent coating like Opti-Coat or Cquartz? That will give you long term protection.

    I was just wondering would be better to protect my car with a good wax or a good sealant ? I'm leaning towards the sealant... and what if you had to choose either one ?

    I'm looking forward to some constructive feedback!

    Thanks

    its for my future clients!

    So guys I got the wax last week and I just wanted to make something about it clear!! Its says in the instructions that you are supposed to shake it well before use but mine seems to be impossible to shake because the wax is very thick ( i know on the label says "paste wax")

    Is that normal ?

    Toss it in a bucket of warm water for a while to liquefy it, then just shake the heck out of it. The first time is the toughest. Subsequent uses will require much less shaking.

    Re: What is better for cold Canadian winters?

    I'm curious- when you guys talk about how a wax or sealant "lasts" for x-months, how do you know it lasts? For example, do you decide it's still working based in amount of shine, amount / quality of water beading, how easy it appears to wash up, smoothness to touch, etc..??
