McKee's 37 Paint Coating Not Resistant to Salt?

I'll follow up, since I started this thread and asked the original question. Probably should have done this long ago.

The behavior I saw which lead me to believe the coating had failed, was most likely the result of the grime from winter driving simply getting imbedded in the coating. As the weather improved I started hand washing the vehicle again, and after a 3~4 good washes with my regular car shampoo, the beading/sheeting returned.

This experience and a similar one with a different coating has made me a firm believer in keeping the coatings clean in order to maintain the beading/sheeting behavior everyone loves. I will say in the case of the McKee's, the appearance and ease of washing never dropped off. During the dark of winter, the coating might get really grimy, but it still appears to be doing it's job and protecting the paint.

After last winter which coating did you find held up the best to the salt. I have been using Klasse Paint sealant topped with pinnacle royal sovereign wax for about 10 years and want to switch to a ceramic coating if it can truly last 2-3 years without having to clay and polish in the spring after the winter chemicals. Many ceramics say they last 2-3 years but I am skeptical on that in northern states.

EXOv3 stayed the "cleanest" and after a wash decon they all beaded/sheeted well, except for the wax.

Here is CQuartz Finest after 23 months in MN weather. Still holding up very well and zero wash induced marring. It all comes down to regular/proper washing.

Please clarify what you said @17 secs... It sounds like you said "47 months"
