Best LSP for a "Joe Blow" Daily Driver
For a moment, instead of focusing on perfection, please help me find a solution for a "joe blow" customer.
What is the best AIO/sealant/wax for a "joe blow" daily driver, that is likely to see very little paint care?
By that I mean, this individual owns a car that is parked outside 24/7. This car sees a hand or tunnel wash every other month and is treated to a hand wax two or three times a year. The person also needs the paint to stay in acceptable condition for five to ten years, which shouldn't be hard for today's finishes. The car in question is a '10 Mazda 3, whose paint is presumably on the harder side as it has been quite resilient to swirling despite a number of visits to tunnel washes.
So for this type of customer, what type of LSP should be used? I have:
Klasse AIO (or will acquire shortly)
Duragloss #105
Meguiars D151
Collinite 945
In this type of situation, if the car will only be "waxed" two or three times a year, would it make sense to use a durable wax such as Collinite 945? Or does an AIO such as Klasse make more sense since it is both durable yet acts as a paint cleaner?
Thanks!

They give their car paint minimal care, yet expect it to look acceptable up until they sell it five to ten years later. This is pretty much why most OEMs have been forced to continuously improve their finishes (can you say ppg ceramiclear?) to achieve those customer expectations.

There are plenty of cars out there in which the paint failed within 4-5 years, or the process of total failure has already began.

For someone that takes so little care of his car then I'd suggest that you stay with something as inexpensive as possible that last the longest; I'd suggest Collinite 845.

I already have Collinite 915 in my stash. Will this work as well?
I also have DP Poli-Seal coming.

Even though there seems to be a difference between sealers and waxes today most if not all sealants are synthetic waxes but are very durable as well. For the maximum protection clean the surface, apply the sealant according to manufactures instructions, then apply Collinite 915 and you'll be fine.

I get the Klasse Twins , very durable and work well in unison for those daily drivers.

Another synthetic sealant for you to consider: Finish Kare 1000p. It's durable and an excellent value.
