Winter protection Vs Summer protection
Now that the weather is breaking for alot of you I was wondering if you use different products in the summer Vs winter.
I always read that a particular sealant or wax is great for winter protection,wouldn't you want the same protection in the summer as well.Does the product selection change from a durability factor to one that looks better?
Just curious.

ken,
i love to use meguiars #16 for winter protection. put on 2 coats for even coverage. spring and summer i put on a less durable wax but one that has a better glow to it. its all personal choice really.

I use Collinite 845 in the winter and Poorboys Natty's Red in the summer or whatever I'm experimenting with at the time.

Re: Winter protection Vs Summer protection
Agree with OP.
But, inquiring minds still need to know:
If it's good enough for protection during the winter, why wouldn't it be good enough for protection during the summer?
Also, just asking..........Bob

Re: Winter protection Vs Summer protection
On customers cars, Collinite for both summer and winter if they are looking for durability. On my car I just mess around all year long testing, mainly bug release properties. But like Mike P has stated, just find something you like and use it often. Most of my customer's that are looking for easy wax to use because they want to do it themselves I always recommend Optimum Car Wax, easy to use, durable, and it just plain works.

Customers = Collinite 845 + Optimum Spray Wax......

Re: Winter protection Vs Summer protection
I just use the same stuff year around - I am trying to come up with a good assortment that I can use without having too many products around. For my car, I think it will be FK1000P which I will top with OCW later on this year.

Winter time I use something thats going to last, summer time I like to play with many LSPs.

Re: Winter protection Vs Summer protection
On customer cars I use the DG twins plus a Collinite 845 topper. Got that tip from Richy and it really can't be beat as far as durability goes (aside from a coating/nano sealant).
On my car (before I put CQ on it) I would change waxes almost every month year round. So durability wasn't an issue for me at all. I just wanted something that looked good.
