Beautiful truck and great looking Lab. I sure miss mine.

Thank you sir.
I have a pair of labs... Ebony and Ivory...a.k.a. Stella and Gracie.
They sleep between me and my wife which makes things a little tight but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Many off the shelf are fine like a few mentioned above and here:

Mothers
Meguiars Gold Class
Meguiars Ultimate

Colonite 845 is too temperature sensitive for storage unless you are in warm temps all year.

My 2016 Siverado done with Meguiars Gold Class Liquid pictured here applied over top of Meguiars sealant 24 hours later. Probably overkill but I enjoy doing it. You can get the same results with other top name off-the-shelf waxes:

One of the reasons why I built an extra garage with a climate controlled storeroom in it. I found out the hard way that Collinite does not like extreme temperature changes.

I'm still trying to find a wax that lasts more than a couple months now that I live by the ocean. I've always liked Collinite, but since I moved here, nothing lasts.

Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant topped with 845. Autogeek sells it as a combo. It lasts quite awhile if you let each coat sit before wiping it off, IMO.

Default 3M Performance Finish

Hi,
A friend at work suggested 3M Performance Finish, a synthetic wax.
Goes on easy, the haze buffs off easy, beads water for a year.
Long lasting. Don't get it on the black plastic trim, very difficult to get off...
Thanks,
Jerry

Ruby red is one of those colors that really pops anytime it's clean. I think you'll be happy with any wax you choose. A synthetic sealant will last longer though. I've used Meguiars M21 sealant with good results, but there are tons of really great sealants out there.

I did a full ceramic coating on mine and absolutely love it. It's a breeze to keep clean, just rinses right off unless it's really dirty. Here's a pic after last weekends bath. 3 months post coating...

Collinite 845 in the microwave for a bit will soften it right up if you let it get too cold before use.
