Hello everyone
I'm making this lengthy post as I am kind of reorganizing my detailing product set up since this year is gonna be the year I fully correct my car and try to make it as swirl and scratch free as possible.
Now I'm on roadblock regarding paint protection. I'm not sure what to go with.
When it's summer and hot-ish here I usually do 2 bucket washes and got my pressure washer at home. I plan to use Griot garage best of show detailer as a drying aid and sealant/wax/coating rejuvanator.
I also plan on doing touchless maintenance wash when 2 bucket is not needed with the griot garage foaming setup cleaner and the polygloss foam (kind of a foaming sealant I think).
Now my main issue is when winter arrives... I'm in Canada. As a test I think it would work for full winter was using my Sonax polymer netshield and I'm kind of dissapointed. I applied it around October and at this date there is zero water beading so I think it's gone. In the winter I don't really wash the car per say. I do go to a coinwash once a week and put my ph neutral soap (same I would do my 2 bucket washes) and spray down the car with that mixed in a sprayer then rinse down the car and that's it. And one day I just noticed hey there is no beading at all.
So here comes the big question. Is ceramic coating my only option to get something to last all winter. I would rather get a sealant because I think it would be more compatible with the summer stuff I use like poly gloss or the griot best of show detailer for drying aid.
So I ask here to help me out. All the rest has been mostly figured out I'm just looking into a good paint protector for my needs.
