Best sealant to protect during the winter?

Hey guys,

New to sealant and considering this will be the last I'll be washing/waxing the car till summer what sealant do you recommend to protect against the elements? Normally I wax twice a year, summer and winter with over the counter wax products.

Thanks!

Outside of Zaino & Klasse SG the best I have found is Duragloss #105 or Meguiars #21.

I hope you wash the car over the winter .. at least a good rinse off at the spray wash .. ( don't use the brush ) The chemicals and salt if left on will play havoc on the sealants / paint.

For durability, you can not go wrong with Megs #21 or Four Star UPP.

so that collinite can be used on the paint too? i currently use it for my rims after i wash them, but with winter coming, im gonna need a good sealant i guess. i dont have the duragloss 105 or the other ones, so uinless i pick them up, the 845 wont have any problems? would i use the 845 and then UPP over it?

I think you should be alright with 845 in itself but if you want some extra insurance, I guess you could do UPP/105 then topped with 845. I've never tried my combo myself but I know I can get away with just using 845 alone in my winters here in NorCal, hehe.
