    Need Longest Lasting-Not Looks

    My son is taking my Jeep Wrangler to Idaho for school. The vehicle will be outside 24x7 and he is not likely to wash it much. I am looking for the most durable, long-lasting protection from products I already have. Was thinking of BFWD topped with Collonite 845

    What would you use?

    BFWD
    Collonite 845
    Shinesupply AIO
    Zaino AIO

    Re: Need Longest Lasting-Not Looks

    The most durable combination I've used to survive PA winters is Collinite 476 or 885 paste, even more so when it's layered over Duragloss 105, 501 or 111.
    Based on my longevity experiences using it as a wheel sealant, I went with FK1000p over DG105 this year for my winter prep. If what I've been reading here is accurate, the FK should be at least as durable as the Colli.
    If you plan on using what you already have, I'd go with the BFWD topped with 1 or two coats of 845. I've done that before, and while it didn't last as long as 476 or 885, it was pretty darn good. I've never heard of Shinesupply and ZAIO didn't last for me at all.

    I would suggest a consumer coating for durability. No 'sealant" can match them.

    I'd coat it as well. GTechniq c1/EXO.

    Using Duragloss combo or Collinite is what will withstand, salt, slush, snow, dirt and protect your vehicle from winter weather.

    Re: Need Longest Lasting-Not Looks

    I remember the days of driving from the dorms in Rexburg to the local grocery store during winter. I do not envy that.
    He should have access to some truck washes to at least get rid of the top layer during winter.
