Hey everyone,
We've been getting a lot of snow up here and i was wondering if there is a wax or sealant that's so slick that ice or snow won't stick to it? I winterized with some 845 already but i wanted to see if there was anything better? I also just got new tires, anyone have recommendations on what to use on em for the winter? Temps have been in the single digits to below zero lately! Thanks Everyone!

Mike
 
All I can tell you is that Blackfire Wet Diamond is the slickest LSP I have ever used.
 
Do you think it'd last in the winter? I'm always up for trying some new products!
 
Hopefully someone can answer that for you. This is my first winter using it. I have high hopes though.
 
I'd wage a bet that Opti-Coat or CQuartz would be your best option in this situation, that is, if you're willing to go down that road. To apply either of these coatings you will have to polish the paint and remove the 845 wax.

For the tires, you're asking about a dressing/ protectant? Ultima Trim Guard plus would be a good choice, quite durable. I know Car Pro (makers of CQuartz) make a dressing called "PERL" as well. Not sure how durable it is for winter as I've never used it.
 
Slickness is only esthetic. It has no bearing whatsover in terms of protection. Don't assume a slick surface offers you any benefits other than look and feel. As long as you have good protection snow wont hurt the paint. A snow layer can actually insulate what's under it from uv, etc.

Slickness is a marketing thing. Nothing more.
 
My suggestion would be either Duragloss 501 or 105 or both, Collonite 845 or 476s for durability and protection. For a tire dressing I like Megs Gold Class Endurance Gel, stuff last forever.
 
In the winter your most pressing need should be protection. I use Duragloss 501 and follow it with 845. The combo is slick and protects for a long time. This same combo just lasted me 6 months of summer/fall.
 
You would have to remove the wax to go with a sealant and top with 845 for max protection. Or you can layer with more wax. No wax is more durable than 845.

Not to be argumentative, but Collinite themselves will tell you that both 476 and 915 are more durable then 845.
 
He probably meant that no wax is more durable than Collinite. But, yes, 476 will outlast 845.
 
I don't know how, or if, this equates to snow and ice retention but BFWD seems to have reduced dust retention by about half on my car.
 
Unfortunately...none of the Collinite waxes will last an entire winter...even when layered. You will first discover the loss around and on the painted vertical surfaces behind the wheel wells.

I HAVE BEEN USING WGDGPS OF LATE. BUT I JUST PURCHASED THE BLACK FIRE WET DIAMOND. AS SOON AS I CAN I'LL HAVE A REPORT! DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THESE 2 COMPARE? THE WGDGPS & BLACK FIRE WET DIAMOND? Feed back please
 
I will be applying the Collinite 845 this weekend after reading the reviews from this forum.
 
My winter sealant has usually been Klasse SG topped with S100 paste wax. That seems to do the trick. Slush and ice slide right off it. Of course, it isn't going to do that all winter since S100 is probably the thing causing most of that to happen. I've also used Wolfgang Fuzion and it has a similar effect and lasts even longer. This year I'm trying just straight Wolfgang sealant since I haven't gone solo like that for quite awhile. I can tell you that so far I'd say either Fuzion or the S100 on top seems to be the better combo for keeping ice off the paint. I'll know more in a few weeks when the snow starts to really fly though.

Both great products. From my understanding most say the Black Fire edges the WG out slightly. It looks a touch better.
