Even though I hope your Steeler truck rusts (GO RAVENS), try Blackfire Wet Diamond. It's amazing.

My answer.....longevity is what 845 was designed for.

For durability stick with Collinite. 845 or 476s both do a good job. 476s doesn't come off as easy as 845 though.

I use turtle wax, its one of my favorites, I guess its just a preference thing, most of them do the same thing.

If I have oxidation I use rubbing compound first then move to the mothers or mequiers cleaner WAx. Like the cleaning wax it gets of little dirt and stuff you could not get off. And after tht I use a ultimate spray detailer to tutch up in little places. Looks great on my black
Truck

This list of Last Step Products (LSP) I have tried and used is from Adams to Zaino and I probably have enough LSP products on my shelves to last 15 lifetimes.

I live is sunny south Florida and our harsh winters can be brutal (it got down to 29 once!). That being said I really can't really comment from personal experience on products to winterize paint.

What I have heard is that

for winter protection. Both can be a little stubborn to remove (but worth the effort). They are not a wipe on wipe off like butter products but they both look good and offer real good winter protection.

Try Klasse instead of the cleaner wax. Use a DA to apply and wipe off.

I use Nu Finish for my truck. Once in the spring and once in the call before the winter. I like it and it leaves a thick coat I can really feel, then just use a quick wax in between to keep it smooth. I go down a lot of trails in Arkansas and let me tell you a good wax job prevents a lot of minor scratches. I've only used turtle wax and Nu finish though, so there's Probably better products but Nu Finish goes on easy.
