New car questions
So my wife got a new car. An acura MDX, which she loves. She typically keeps her cars for a good 5 years so I would like to keep it looking good from the start.
Specifics
Black leather interior
Light silver paint
Questions
I was going to give Collinite 845 a try to get a good protective coat on the vehicle. She parks outside at work in the Texas heat and Collinite seems to offer a good level of protection based upon my research. Any other suggestions, or do you agree?
With the black leather interior, I would like to protect it as much as possible and keep it looking new. What's a good leather protectant that you all would suggest?
The vehicle has some black, vinyl trim at bottom of the vehicle as well as the rear bumper. What is a good protectant to keep the outside vinyl trim sealed and looking good for a long time? I've used aerospace 404 and it seems to work well on the interior, but some have suggested it washes away on exterior surfaces. Thoughts?
What is your favorite wheel sealant? Or should I just use BFWD, which I already have some of?
Looking for a good super shiny water based tire dressing that doesn't sling. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Looking for a good super shiny water based tire dressing that doesn't sling. Any suggestions? If you want super shiny tires, you will need a solvent based dressing. Some water based dressings may look shiny, buy it won't last but a few days.
Thanks in advance.

I like Wolfgang DGPS or Fuzion.

What is your favorite wheel sealant? Or should I just use BFWD, which I already have some of? I never bother with wheels other than regular thorough cleaning.
Looking for a good super shiny water based tire dressing that doesn't sling. Any suggestions? I don't like the look of shiny tires - looks too much like cheap used car lot! I have used Meguiars # 40 for many years. Love the look, love the smell, love the ease of application, love the lack of sling.
Thanks in advance.

845 gives a good protection thought to get the ultimate protection in a sense look into paint coatings like Detailers paint coating or CarPro Cquartz UK for the trim carpro Dlux, leather protection look into leather master with the dye transfer remover, for wheel sealant I uses any sealant I have on hand, and water based dressing carpro pearl plus it can be diluted and used on almost every part of a vehicle
