Ruby red, I was more concerned about getting a coat of protection on before bad weather. I did as everyone said and applied a very thin coat to each panel. I did the whole truck, then went on to finish up the windows and rims and then went back to wipe off the wax. It was nice and dry by then and wiped off smoothly. I am happy with the results.

Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant. Adam's Liquid Paint Sealant. Either one will give you months of protection. Maintain with guard and gloss and it couldn't be easier.

As a detailer on the side I try new products here and there, although I'm not one to chase the shine. I have have been using 2 really good wax/sealant Wolfgang and Collinite 845, only knock for the Wolfgang sealant is the 12 hours cure time. Enter 2 more LSP finish kare FK1000P and not available yet Poorboy's nattys black wax. The FK is on par with the 845 only in a paste form, very good durability great winter wax. The Nattys black is designed for black paint mine being tuxedo black, is easy on and off. I can't vouch for its durability or where it will be priced, the FK 1000P is under $ 20.00 for a pot that will last quite a while.

I used Collinite on my 2014 tuxedo black f150, and it made the paint look very glossy and almost wet looking.

Hi I'm sure it's been asked before. But here goes which kind of wax or sealant works best on white trucks? I find white to be hard to polish. Any input would be great and if you would post photos your detailed white truck I'd LOVE to see them.

I have a question pertaining to this. I had the Zurich shield put on my last truck. Wasn't impressed. So, this time around I didn't get it. I had the customer care box left though so I used the paint sealer renewer on my new truck. But, I didn't have the paint sealer put on so is it just like I waxed my truck? Seems slicker.

I've been using Klasse sealant for about 4 years now on a Solstice and 2 years on my F150 and have been very happy with it. I get a full year out of it on the Solstice (but it's garaged in winter) and I use it every 6 months on the F150 just because I do a full detail every spring and fall. Probably could go longer.

Is it the best out there? I don't know because it's the only sealant I've used. (You only use a couple capfuls to detail an entire vehicle, so this one bottle is still about 2/3 full.)

Many owners like the Collinite 845 and I believe they mention another "variant" from Collinite that's specifically for lighter colors.

Also, be clear that polish, wax, and sealant are very different things. Polish is used to correct surface imperfections and swirl marks, wax is a natural protectant and needs to be replaced every 6-8 weeks. Sealant is also called "synthetic wax" and lasts much longer than carnauba wax. It generally has a "cold" and wet look whereas the carnauba is a warmer and somewhat "deeper" shine. Some people prefer to use the sealant and then wax on top of it.

Not a very good close up, but here are my "stable mates".





And here is a reflection off of the door of the Solstice. The lower left 1/3 of the image is the floor tile, the rest is the reflection off of the door.

I just had 2 coats of C Quartz put on, you can look into it and see if you're interested, pretty awesome stuff.
