    Good Long lasting wax? And can I maintain for a year??

    What's a long lasting wax (even winter ) and if I maintain it with some sort of spray wax can a get a year out of my (clay, polish), or do I have to use a sealer also!?

    Instead of Waxes, I'll suggest
    Sealants (at least for the type of
    longevity you are shooting for).


    •Wax(actually a Sealant):
    Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax, high melt polymer car wax, Finish care auto wax

    •Maintenance Wash:
    McKee’s 37 N-914 Rinseless Wash

    •Sealant Detail Spray:
    Finish Kare Anti Static Poly Wipe Finish Restorer Spray Detailer, anti-static detail spray, quick detailer, finish care instant detail spray

    But a whole year would be a stretch IMO.

    I agree with Bob except find FK425 to be an excellent detail spray and drying aid. Tremendous lubricity as a drying aid and increases slickness of the finished surface.

    Finish Kare 425 Extra Slick Final Body Shine, finish care quick detailer, ultra slick detail spray

    A wax won't last a year so scratch that. A few months, yes it's possible if you wash the car properly.
    In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

    FK1000p, 2 layers put on a week apart. I got 10+ months. Granted, it's in So Cal, so no extreme weather changes or salt on the roads here.

    The Finish Kare 425 spray is also a nice spray. Slick feel, decent scent. Recently used it on windows (as a drying aid) and was happy with it, so I did that on a couple of other cars I recently detailed.

    845 is so easy to use just do it twice a year.
