Being that this is a new car, i don't think much is needed. The car already looks great after a wash and dry.. so I am just looking for recommendations on few things to make the paint last.. someone mentioned bird poop and water stains.. yes this is what i am trying to keep on top of. Someone told me to look into wolfgang sealer.. thoughts?

    Soap:
    Sealer:
    Wax:
    Detailer:
    Soap: Carpro Reset
    Sealer: Liquid I'd go Jescar Ultra Lock+(Si02 one) and for a spray Carpro Reload or Jescar Bead-It.
    Wax: If you wanna use a wax I would use a paste wax like Bilt Hamber Doublespeed Autowax or Collinite 476. Something sturdy. Both of these have "polymers" in them that make them perform and last like a sealant.
    Detailer: Optimum ONR diluted to desired ratio. Or, if you want a "detailer" that also leaves something behind Carpro ECO20 would be a good choice.

    Wax: Don't bother, you will already apply durable high quality paint sealant.
    Detailer: I use CarPro ECH2O on my coated vehicles and Kenotek Showroom Shine on my cars with sealants, but it doesn't appear to be available any longer. I'll defer to others, but maybe Griots Garage Showroom Shine?
    So you would consider Collinite 845 to be in the same league as a sealant more so than a wax?

    Re: Recommendations for new car products

    I wouldn’t break it down to four categories in this day and age, it would be easier to talk about soap, polish, last step product (LSP) so mine quickly would be:

    soap: Maguires gold class or car pro reset
    Polish(assuming new car type paint: ) Carpro essence gloss enhancer
    LSP: 303 graphene or blackfire si02 spray or carPro reload
    Detailer: Carpro Ech20 0r Carpro elixr

    I am going to agree with you.. Here in NYC car sits outside all the time it gets filthy real fast.. I would probably also do a wash, polish and lsp and use detailer for those bird bomb moments..

    Yes. Just because something is called a "wax" in it's title doesn't mean there are a lot of natural waxes in them. 845 might be a blend of some sort, but it is a sealant. Many "waxes" are nothing but polymer blends, which makes them a sealant.

    845 lasted 5~6 months for me. You won't find a traditional wax with that kind of durability...as far as I know.

    It was posted here a few years ago the 845 is what is known as a “hybrid wax” meaning that it’s got synthetic polymers sealant and carnuba mixed,… It was never disputed….
