I use the Griot's Garage sealer the cure time is only 1 hour. I have not used it over the collinlite yet but I just ordered some to try it.

I actually changed it up...the 12 hour cure time kind of pushed me away too. I guess it's worth it, but my truck doesn't fit in the garage and unless I seal it at 8 am it will have moisture. I went with the Blackfire Blackice. Spendy, but I've seen some great reviews on it. I'll post some pics when I get a nice day to use it.

I picked up a bottle of Wolfgang, going to give it a try topped with 845.

There are three basic LSP products. Wax, Sealant and Coating.

Each has its strength and weakness in "looks" and "durability.
There are a LOT of good sealants and waxes on the market.
There a combo products like "Wet Ice over Fire" and hybrids.

As stated above always use (at least) the Two bucket Method to wash.
This helps protect against creating swirls and fine scratches in your paint.
Again as stated above, after you wash your paint put your hand in a Baggie.
Feel the paint. Do you feel gritty bumps? If so you need to "clay" your paint.
there is both a chemical decon (Iron-X) and mechanical polymerized rubber.

I like Coli 845 on some paints and some colors but it is not the end all for all.

It's best to start with the basic question. What color is your paint?

I would clay the new paint. It was crazy how much rail dust came off my truck with just an iron decon. As far as a sealant, I have seemed to settle on blackfire crystal seal.
