    That's a tough one because I REALLY LIKE Wolfgang DGPS. Sadly, its been discontinued in Australia, another victim of the move to ceramics.

    Collinite 845 for durability and resistance to contamination.

    Wolfgang DGPS for the added gloss, slickness and water behavior. Shorter longevity though.

    This is what freshly applied Wolfgang DGPS looks like.............

    I still like Jescar Ultra Lock Plus...even more than Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant. There are some out there who swear by the combo of Jescar + 845....I've never tried it.

    Detailed two SUV’s for friends. Used CBeast & BF One Step with a topper of 845 on the horizontal surfaces. I kinda forgot how nice 845 is to work with!

    If you set 845 out in the sun for a while before using it, it will thin out considerably.

    Since you really like the DGPS, I'd recommend your try Wolfgang's SIO2 Paint Sealant. I've never used DGPS so I can't compare the two, I can saw the SI02 Paint sealant is my favorite sealant today. It lasts longer than 845, has better water behavior, easier to remove by a huge margin, and it looks really good. My 845 has started collecting dust since I got a bottle.

    That's my routine. If I know I'm going to use it, I'll set the bottle in the sun before I do anything else. By the time I'd done with all the other steps, its ready to be shaken and used.

    I've used both, and generally just choose what I'm in the mood for. They both make the paint look amazing. I don't think you can go wrong with either of those

    I just bought a bottle of the DGPS a few months ago and really like it. I balked at the SIO2 sealant, figuring I needed to try the original first. SIO2 may be my next purchase, but I have seemingly a lifetime supply with one bottle each of 845 and DGPS

    Re: Collinite 845 Insulator Wax Review

    Collinite now makes a spray wax topper for 845 that I just stumbled across. This might be old news, but I wasn’t aware of it. I’m sure it would help extend the durability of an already durable product.

    They also have some new ceramic products too…

    An absolute staple in my opinion. I’ll almost always have some available.
