    Because of your condition outside washing isn't an option during the winter but a touch-free every other week or so should be enough to remove the salt/muck from your cars paint and thus helping along the durability of KSG. Others have suggested, along with myself, to get as many layers as possible on before the weather gets too cold and this helps ALOTWater activated Spray sealants

    There's nothing wrong with the spray on, hose off products but it needs to be about 60 degrees minimum to apply these or it could get messy. Do you have an option to rent a garage spot hourly in the winter to give it a good wash and apply FD to the car?

    Trust me when I say this, there is not a single touchless wash nearby me (Westchester county, NY). Coin-op is about 20 minutes' drive off my way. I have never seen renting a garage spot either. A friend had a garage but he moved last year so I am pretty much stuck (that was the sole reason of not washing as I didn't want to go through scrubby tower).

    I wouldn't be able to tell you why it wore off. As I said, my technique probably wasn't optimum. But this year I took great care while application. I 'think' this year's application is far better. As you and other folks suggested, I will apply a couple of coats of KSG before the end of Oct and see how it goes. But thinking of the worst first, I am looking for a backup plan.

    The only benefit I give to spray and rinse vs spray drying aid is that for folks who are less mobile, bad back or whatever else; the spray and rinse allows protection to get in all the nooks and crannies and a very simple wipe off afterward with no streaking (I’ve not had a streaking problem anyways). With a drying aid I feel there is more possibility of streaking on lower areas if you don’t get down there and dry well. After spray and rinse, the water is already in good beading condition, it should only take a lazy effort to get those final drops off the bottom and you’re not having to work any product until completely dry to avoid the streaks.

    Maybe I’m separating the pepper from the fly poo. And I rarely use spray and rinse on paint. But something I would switch back to if my back chronically starts to ache.

    Re: Water activated Spray sealants

    I have used Sonax Spray and Seal and I like the product. It is definitely easy to use and it lasts for about a month. A negative comment on the product is that it leaves a noticeable film on darker colored vehicles. I only use it on my silver vehicles.

I could be wrong but the car does attract a lot of dust, otherwise seems fine.

    I am prepping for winter. Since I can't function outside in cold, I must be done with all detailing by the end of Oct.

    I have been looking water activated spray sealants to top off Klasse twins I have on the car. I found, there is 303 Sealant and Prima Hydro Seal Paint Sealant. Is there anything else that I have not noticed? What experiences folks have with these, with regards to durability?

    Thanks in advance.
    I've had a great experience with the 303 Touchless Sealant.

    It's what I use on my Emerald (cheapest) Package.

    It saves me a ton of time as I can quickly apply it after rinsing the car off.

    I think its great protection and a good price as well.

    We just had a bunch of rain recently so the Jeep is pretty dirty. I don't know if you can tell but it seems to be holding up pretty good.

    I also think it leaves behind a nice shine.

    I don't know what conditions you'll be putting your vehicle through but it should last you through the winter in my opinion.

    I reccomend a few good sprays on each pannel and rinse upwards so it spreads the product out good.

    Then go around the whole car as you rinse and make sure each pannel has the water beading characteristics that you desire.

    If you notice a pannel isn't quite up to par add a spray or to the rinse in an upwards direction as described before.

    Iike to use the shower setting on my nozzle.

    Hope this helpsWater activated Spray sealants

    Re: Water activated Spray sealants

    I have little different take on this, as I mostly do rinseless washes. I use a non-AG water activated spray sealant, and if a client wants a 'wash & wax' this is what they get. I wash the panel, then spray the sealant, spread it with a damp MF towel, and dry the little bit of moisture that is left with a PFM towel.
    This goes very quickly, is not really an extra step (my standard is to spritz the panel with detail spray after the damp wipe), and saves a little time since I can dress the trim with this product too.

    Re: Water activated Spray sealants

    I just finished up my bottle of 303 Touchless Sealant this late morning. Last week I used enough on the rims, beads like crazy and seemingly adds a nice shimmer to the rims too. So today the car just needed a foam and rinse and while wet I hit the rims again and then said "what the heck" and I did the rest of the car too. I had great beading before application so it's just an extra layer of protection which is good because I'm heading down to Tennessee in 11 days for my yearly Tail or the Dragon run.

    Now it's been a while since I've used this on my paint and when drying the car the slickness is O M GWater activated Spray sealantsI know there's alot of these products out there but if you haven't used 303 Touchless Sealant yet, give it a try and you'll be glad you did, I GUARANTEE ITWater activated Spray sealantsWater activated Spray sealants
