Most durable winter sealant?

Seriously...Sonax Polymer NetShield...its in a class by itself in terms of repelling water and dirt...even better than some coatings I've tried. It has a carnuba look to it which is also a plus for some. 6 months durability no problem. That will get you through winter and then some. NO need to top it.
 
I'm interested in looking into that as well. Are there issues with application or removal?

Mmm...thinking about going with Duragloss 111 due to all the praise I've heard recently. Just bought some CG EZ Creme (mine and my wife's car definitely need something to hide the swirls) so hopefully the DG 111 plays nice on top of it.

Add some #601 to the #111 to make it even better! 4:1 ratio, the 1 part being #601.

Would that affect the CG glaze that I'm going to apply? I ask because after quickly looking up #601, I see "It removes old wax"...I know the glaze isn't a wax but just playing it safe :)
 
Another vote for Polymer Net Shield.

Application/removal is super easy. Super hydrophobic and self cleaning.

One of my favorite parts about it is that it darkens black trim as well.

That's good to hear that it doesn't stain black trim.

I would be surprised to see any sealant staining trim these days. Any sealant applied to trim will darken, just the nature of the beast. As for the 601 it will probably mess with your glaze. I have always used the 601 so your 111 probably will only last 6-9 months and not the typical year.

I'll be more than happy if 111 lasts 6 months ��
 
Well mixing it in w/ the #111 I can't see it harming a glaze but I have to ask, why are you using a glaze again?

To simply add shine and help mask/fill swirl marks...I realize it's a temporary (and probably mediocre) fix until the swirls are actually corrected but curious to see what kind of results I can get without going through paint correction.

Seem reasonable?

Also, I totally feel like I hijacked this thread...sorry OP

The reasoning behind messing with the glaze. The Wife's van has glossy smooth plastic mirrors and water spot at the hint of water anywhere in the state. I have tried a lot of products to eliminate the problem but nothing works. If I wipe the mirror down with 601 it takes the water spots off then I reseal them and do it all over the next time. Anyway If 601 does that I would think it would do something to the glaze. How much ?, I have no idea but the risk is there.

I've done a few tests over the years and found that Z-2 outlasts the 601/105 combo by a good margin. Since I'm out of Z-2, I think I'll pick up some 111 and give it a shot. Looks like we are in for another nasty winter here in Michigan!!!!!

I love PNS, and it's like Frank's Red Hot Sauce, you can put that S--T on everything!

HUMP
 
Whats the least expensive and easy sealant to put on for winter in ny? Ive only just started messing with detailing and i rarely have much spare time. Right now ive washed, clayed and then put meguiars gold class carnauba wax on my car so obviously im a noob and not a big spender lol. Im guessing i will do one more wash, clay, seal and then wax over whatever seal i buy. So yeah, best bang for buck sealant?
 
+1 On Sonax Polymer Netshield. I personally dont think application is difficult like some may say. It's not the easiest to apply like WGDGPS but it's certainly easier than Collinite 845.

Having a thick foam applicator is a must and using the grippy-ness to your advantage.

Apply to half a panel, wipe off immediately, obtain BSD, profit
 
On the negative side, winter is harsh on clear coat. On the positive side, sealant degradation is reduced in cold conditions, as are all chemical reactions. Either of the products you currently own will be fine.

Seems that way with waxes too. It's as if the sun is what accelerates whatever protection is put on the paint.
