I have a family member car that I would like to detail for them. I will not be detailing it again anytime soon if ever. So I would like to provide them with longer lasting LSP as possible

i have the following products

Collinite 476
Collinite 845
Collinite 915
bilt Hamber double speed wax
finish Kare hi temp paste wax
meguiars ultimate
meguiars paint protect 365
duragloss 105
zaino z2 pro
Blackfire wet diamond paint protect
fusso coat dark
sonax Xtreme brilliant wax
Autoglym extra gloss protection

car is white, paint in top condition / as new

??? Thoughts ??
 
The only one on that list I've used is the 845. I was able to consistently get six months or protection from it. I'm not sure any of the others would be able to beat that except possibly the other two Collinite Products.
 
You'll get a ton of opinion. Short answer for me is DG 111 + 601. Maybe Collinite #476. I find it slightly harder to apply than 111. Many other good options, I'm sure.

EDIT: I just got that you want to go with the products you have. Apologies for suggesting something you don't have.

From the LSPs you've listed,
I'd go with the FK1000P.

Just thinking out loud:
How are you ever going to be apprised
of the longevity of whichever LSP that
you finally do choose to use?

All of the lsp’s you mentioned will be durable and cost effective. The preparation prior to the application of the lsp will determine the longevity of the lsp. By preparation I refer to the claying, decontamination stage.

Collinite 476 is what I would use. IMO it's among the longest lasting products out there. In situations like yours I usually make HD Speed or similar solid AIO's the polish of choice and then put a layer of 476 over it.
 
How much longer is 476 lasting over the 845...say a single coat

I chose Collinite 845 for it's reputation of durability. It was my first time applying it ever a few months ago, and I'll be re-applying just before winter, so I'll get to see for myself. I have no reason to doubt the claims at this point.

There's a thread on here about Collinite 845 vs The Klasse Twins, and 845 was still there after 6 months and through a winter. That was proof enough for me.

Blackfire would probably last the longest.

No experience with Blackfire. Any particular experience vs Collinite to share? I'm always up for trying new products if a compelling argument can be made.

I've used quite a few on your list. I've never had good durability luck with 845 when compared to Z2 and DG 105 but that could be cuz I live in a winter salt belt and tend to wash a lot. I've had the best durability results with Zaino Z2 but it does give white a kinda plastic look which I really don't mind. As mentioned above, the Duragloss 111/601 combo is pretty close to Z2 and is what I'm currently using on my daily drivers.
 
The Blackfire wet diamond feels the most slick of the lot but after a wash or two dramatically reduces. Not saying it's not protecting but most of the slickness is gone

The collinites don't feel as slick initially but feel to maintain it longer

The finish Kare hi temp seems to go on and off so easy. A pleasure to use

I've ready somewhere that the zaino is durable if washing etc but a bit of bird poop eats right through it. Many of the other LSP seems to resist the bird poop better

The megs stuff looks nice on the car but don't last. Maybe the megs 365 is better

The bh double speed seems to look cloudy the next day. Looks nice and easy to use but next day goes cloudy looking. Tried it a few times now on black and no good

Duragloss is good stuff

Fusso coat feels slick etc but hard to remove if you leave it too long. Harder than the collinites

For all round performance I think the finish Kare high temp take some beating. It's an awesome product

Hey FishyX and everyone else... The statement about the Duragloss combo I found intriguing and did some research. What colors are the daily drivers you are using it on and that you like it on? I have a brand new gray metallic jeep that I'm searching for the right combo of looks and durability. Frankly I do like the Z2 look, which I've always described as looking like an acrylic layer (agree it looks plastic-ie on white). Years ago I was able to get his deep acrylic look with HGAS and used it over WG and UPP quiet a bit. Playing with Sonus Glanz right now.

Thanks-

Just to chime in...



Probably the MOST important factor as to how long anything lasts would be how the car is washed.

Or as I like to say, how the paint is touched.

Wash a car with a brick and nothing is going to last very long. Wash a car CAREFULLY using a high quality wash mitt and avoid scrubbing the paint and you give whatever is on the paint the best chance of lasting as long as it can.

Some tips here for washing coated cars but the principals apply to washing a waxed car or a car with a sealant on it.

Here's the link to the article - if you have any questions, please post them to the article.

Funny you should mention that about the BlackFire Wet Diamond product. I experienced the exact same problem. Literally a day or 2 after applying it, the majority of the slickness and much of the initial shine was gone. I was so disappointed. I stopped using it for that reason. Too bad though because when you first put it on, it is incredibly shiny and slick as hell. Just loses it within a couple of days. I'm sure there is some sort of "protection" left behind. But because of the dramatic loss in appearance and slickness, it's just not the product for me.
 
What about McKees hi def Paint sealant?? I've not used it on my personal car but have on some customers cars and it was very slick when put on and great shine.

I've been getting good mileage out of Super Gloss Protection. Just have to have the time to let it cure properly.

idk but you can stretch it way out by using spray waxes after washing. Or tell the owner to use them.
