Hi Mike. I have a 2012 Audi SUV as my daily driver. I was looking at applying a sealant that would be durable for our winters up north in Canada.

I was thinking of using the Collinite 845 or new Sonax Netshield. Do you have any preferences between the two? do you recommend something better?

Thanks for your help.

Rob.
 
Not sure if it's better than the two you mention, but Klasse SG is really durable two. I get six months out of a coat in the winter.
 
There's no doubt that the coatings are the best for winter protection. But if you're not ready to make the move to a coating just yet, get yourself a tin of Collinite 476 and do two coats after a good clean & clay. Pittsburgh may not be the Great White North, but we know about winter.
476 x2 has served me well for the family DD's, all of which spend the entire winter outside 24/7.

Collinite 845 and/or 476 if you're not comfortable with a coating
 
Menzerna's power lock is easy to apply and I guarantee a 1 year longevity to my customers if they allow me and only me to clean there cars during that period. Oh yea and it is very easy to remove you just have to let it cure for 12 hours with no water & dew contact and low humidity, After removal of the haze, which is 30 minutes after application.
 
Coat it but make sure the paint is swirl free.

Cquartz+reload is a great combo.

+1 on the 476

Another alternative is FK1000p--very high gloss and lasts well through the winter here in PA. Also, had good luck with Duragloss 105 when I lived in New Hampshire--really easy to apply then just maintain with Aquawax. Have also been impressed with Meg's Ultimate Liquid Wax (which is really a sealant)--great carnuba look and after 3 months it was as if I put it on the day before.
 
Sticking with sealants:

DG 105
DG 501
Colly 476s
Colly 845
Megs UPW
Megs ULW

All should get you through the winter no problem. As long as you properly clean and prep the paint.
 
Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476 is a popular choice for winter paint protection. Its durable protection stands up to road salt and ice like no wax you’ve used before. Collinite’s headquarters are in New York so it’s not surprising that they produce such an outstanding winter wax.

Been using Collinite Super Double coat #476 for the last 3 winters up here in Canada. Last year used Blackfire crystal seal as the base and put two coats of 476 on top. Before then I only used two coats of 476 with no problems. Everything withstood the winter here in northern Ontario. I also use the 476 on all the chrome my truck and protected everything great. You really can't go wrong with Collinte as your winter wax/sealent, especially up here.
