    sealant or wax choice

    Hi,

    I am looking to buy a war or a sealant and I am having some difficulty choosing them. The car is always park outside and has to go through canadian winter. I am now looking for Wolfgang paint sealant 3.0 or colonite 845. I'm also open for other products. But since I am a student cost matter.

    I know that waxes doesn't last as long as sealant but is the difference between 845 and the paint sealant that big? (yes I clay the car before adding wax to it)

    Is there a big difference in colour depth and shine between those two products? Can you really see the difference between the sealant and a wax?

    Thank's for yours answers!

    For a car sitting outside 24/7 and exposed to harsh environments, I would stick to Duragloss #105 Total Performance Polish, Collinite #476, FK1000-P, and if you must Collinite #845. These have proven track records in harsh environments.

    I wouldn't want to buy a war. Could be dangerous.

    @AGO forum member...Afgan(?):

    Don't know if it's always dangerous...But:

    I believe that's what France told Benjamin Franklin when he was asking for child-support during the infancy of what England claimed was: "A Great Societal Upheaval"!!
    ...(Better known as the American Revolution.)

    Ever since, it seems, our Franco-American relationship has been tenuous, at best.

    BTW...
    I might be somewhat confused...What is the correct spelling of your AGO forum-name: Agfan or Afgan??

    Re: sealant or wax choice

    Lol dude talk about confusing. Everything you say has barely any point to it. Seems you try extremely hard to impress others on here by sounding intellectual and adding useless info. Ok we get it. Your a smart person and we all respect that. But come on!! Can't you ever just give a normal response? I really hope you don't carry on conversations like this with your friends or family.lol
    That being said. For such a smart gentlemen like yourself. It clearly shows what my name is in the spot beside this post

    Had to look that one up: incongruous

    adj.
    1. Lacking in harmony; incompatible: a joke that was incongruous with polite conversation.
    2. Not in agreement, as with principles; inconsistent: a plan incongruous with reason.
    3. Not in keeping with what is correct, proper, or logical; inappropriate: incongruous behavior.

    Excuse my Hijack, if you will...I sometimes stray from the topic at hand, to become involved in a friendly: Tête à tête...

    Secondly:
    RE: Wax or sealant

    -I find myself reaching for sealants more often now, than previously so. Wolfgang DGPS 3.0 is a good sealant, IMO.
    -I'll use waxes...especially a 'hybrid-wax', such as Meguiar's #26 for, and when: Going to car shows/cruise-ins; and, spray-detailers/spray-waxes
    for on-site 'spruce-ups', while in attendance at these aforementioned car-events.

    -Although many folks will disagree with the following assessment...
    I'm hard-pressed to see any actual/factual, measurable:
    "color depth and shine" differences between these two types of "protective products" LSP's.

    -But most everyone will agree (myself included) that the surface's prep-work attainment of smoothness, is one of the most important factors leading up to a surface's glossiness.

    -An LSP's main function is to provide a sacrificial barrier. Depending on its Chemistry, among other factors, some LSP's are said to perform this duty longer than others.
