For strong durability and ease of use Ziano, the Klasse twins can do the same it's just more finicky to apply/work with. These 2 are the kings of durability.

I was going to go with the klasse, but I read it was hard to work with. So that is the reason I started this thread so you guys could give me some advice. So keep the advices coming. Thanks

Anything that has already been suggested will be fine. Klasse isn't so bad to work with that you should disregard it. Just don't let AIO dry on the paint, and apply SG extremely thin, it's great stuff.

I say Klasse twins or WG DGPS (let the sealant cure for 12hrs) topped with either Collinite 476 or 845.

My real advice though, is to seal/wax more often than once every 4-6 months. Who has that much patience anyway?

To let the Klasse cure on my car does my car need to be in a garage for 12 Hrs. ?

A sealant should be cured in a clean and dry environment, but as long as it doesn't get wet it should be fine. The problem with curing outside is morning dew and dirt and pollen etc. landing on the car, then you have to deal with that before you can add a second coat or wax.

So what happens when the sealant is curing and it gets dew on it because it stayed outside overnight? would not be effective?

What do you mean that I have to deal with that before I can add a second coat? Do I just wash my car again?

Yeah. Full, rinseless or waterless wash, Quick detailer, California Duster or whatever. I've used a large plush drying towel to remove the "overnight dust" by holding two corners and letting the rest hang down onto the car and lightly sweep any dust off. A VERY non-invasive method IMO, but if the car is outside and dew forms the dust may be harder to get off.

It's been said that a sealant will not be able to properly cross-link if it gets wet before cured, negatively affecting it's durability and even looks.
