    Most Durable Protection

    Folks
    I was always interested in keeping my cars clean and protected but this interest rose to the level of an obsession when I found Autogeek and this forum. By and by...I ordered tons of stuff and learned how to properly wash my car, keep the swirls at bay and enjoyed achieving a good shine on my vehicles. Over the years I've come to the realization that there's no point obsessing over the level of shine I achieve. The elements take over and dust pretty much covers the car in a day or two if not sooner.

    That leaves me with the other purpose of detailing my vehicles - protection against the elements. My interest has dwindled down (rather readjusted) to making sure my vehicles are protected as well as they can be. After reading through a ton of reviews I ordered Collinite 476 (a kind of a sealant - from what I gather). This is supposed to provide the most durable protection...

    The questions I hope this forum can help me with are (assuming I clay once a year and wax every 4 to 5 months. In between, I wash with Poorboys Super Slick & Wax Car Shampoo and extend protection with DG Aquawax)

    1 - Is 476 just by itself enough?
    2 - Would it be better if I went with a base of pure sealant topped by 476? If I top a sealant with 476 - will the 476 bond or will it not be able to do so and wash off?
    3 - If #2 is the way to go - what would you folks recommend as the most durable sealant that would work as the base below 476?
    4- Assuming I apply a sealant and then wait for it to cure. What steps do I follow before topping the paint with 476? A wash or ONR or PB Spray and Wipe?

    Thanks in advance....

    The most durable protection I've found is Collinite 845.

    Klasse Twins ... hands down. Zaino and Collonite are close however.

    Also, Duragloss 111 or 105 . Use the 601 also.

    I wonder if anyone has used 601 with other sealants. It supposedly will work with many sealants.

    How about the Klasse Twins followed up with a light coat of Collinite 476 !!!!

    You can ask for no better protection.

    Just as an FYI -

    I wrote to Duragloss asking about using 111 with 105 and they recommended starting with the 105 and waiting 4 hours to cure before applying the 111.
