Most durable liquid waxes/sealants?

**Kaban** · 07-09-2011, 10:45 AM

Hi guys,

are there any waxes or sealants that last longer then Collinite 845?

I have been using 476S (paste wax) and I love its durability, but I hate applying it and removing it because it is so difficult. However, I love working with 845 but to my knowledge it's not as durable as 476.

So,

Is there anything out there that is stronger than 845 and is just as easy to work with? Not looking at any products that cost more than $50-60.

Long story short.....NO. Only a coating lasts longer.

What about the Klasse twins? They boast a durability of up to one year.

If you want long term durability then go with a coating like opti-coat 2.0 or cquartz. Its bascially another layer of clear coat with UV protection and they last years, some post have said up to 5 years. both of these products are in the 60 dollar range. It may be perfect for you. They say you can do 1-2 cars with opti coat, sometimes 3 small cars.

For liquid waxes and sealants I use 3m performance finish and collnite 845. Both claim 6 months of protection. The shine on 3m does last for 10 months or so. The are my go to last step products.

Honestly just wax the car every 3-4 months or with every oil change. It takes what an extra 30mins, maybe an hour after you wash the car. Just clay, ipa wipe down, spread and buff off. Lots of people on auto geek wax every month and spend 100s of dollars on wax...I dunno why.

Both Opti-Seal and UPGP will hold their own against 845, plus they are much faster and easier to apply.

I can't comment on Opti-seal but UPGP is a definate contender with 845. And very easy to use( no wipe off)

still amazed how well the 845 holds up. and i am parked outside 24/7.

Try a 4:1 mix of Duragloss 105 & 601. Mine lasted through road salt in Winter and touchless car washes, still kicking too

Duragloss rules. My next goto when not using Collinite.

Even though Collinite 845 is once of the best, longest lasting products out there, and which I'm very fond of, Ultima Paint Guard Plus in my opinion might be a step up in performance and durability.....Boy did that hurt!

The first time I applied Ultima Paint Guard Plus I was really amazed. It was more like an actual coating then an invisible, unmeasurable layer of wax. It is expensive when compared to some sealants and waxes but it goes a long way and lasts...

I'm still not giving up my dear friend Collinite through.......
