What's YOUR '15 winter protection?

Paint Protect 365 on the daily. Been doing long term testing with it.

Blackfire Wet Diamond on the CC.
 
845 on the fiances ride and i am trying sonic black wax to see how it holds up

Last year's DP paint coating, with a new layer of SPNS.
Pinnacle glass coating.
Dlux on trim.
DP tire coating on one car, Tuff Shine on the other.
 
Duragloss Nanoglass Ceramic Coating on my car.

Duragloss 105 on my wife's SUV, although I might layer FK1000P on top just for fun.
 
Did a decon with clay and correction last week with WG Uber Compound, white pads on the PC7424XP on my daily driver Kia, then on went Collinite #476 Super Doublecoat Paste.

Then yesterday washed, and topped with Collinite #915.

Luckily in some ways, they don't use salt on the streets-roads if it snows here, in fact, they don't do anything here when it snows. Travel at your own risk!
 
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 (two coats 12 hours apart for proper coverage)
 
The Corolla's EXOv2 is still going strong after 13 months, as is the FlyBy30 on the glass. I'm only going to boost it with the last of my C2v3.

The Accord has been protected with Reload all summer, boosted with Hydro2 every month or so. The year-old FlyBy30 on the glass is holding up. I plan to correct the paint again and coat with CQUK.

My smart is in need of attention. I just got a Dr. Colorchip kit for its main body panel color, and have to attend to some surface rust near the wiper bushings. The winter steelies will get cleaned and sprayed with anthracite gloss PlastiDip. The fabric soft top has a six month old coating of CQ Fabric, which I'll boost. The glass will get FlyBy Forte, plastic trim DLUX, and I think the paint will be coated with either CKUK or CQ, depending on how well I can maintain the temperature in my garage over the next couple of weeks.

The Smellement isn't technically mine, but I'm allowed to drive it while the owner makes room for it by finding a buyer for another used car on his driveway. Today I'm coating its roof with UK and windows with Forte. The rest of the paint will be corrected and coated over the next couple of days, and the plastic cladding will get Black Wow Pro.

Collonite 845, I will see how it does against our harsh canadian winter (Quebec)

You will love it. For an even better effect, layer it over a good sealant like M21/Tech Wax 2.0 or PowerLock like Sicoupe posted just above.

Next year I plan to test either 476 or 915 as a stand alone
 
Just ordered a bottle of Car-Pro essence. Hopefully I get a chance to coat my Avalanche in it before winter gets here. Not sure if I'm gonna try to top it with Reload or just use it by itself.

Around here roads are covered with road salt 5 months a year because otherwise, we would not be able to travel cuz we get tons of snow and the roads are iced most of the time, hehe - perhaps, a good clean up and a coat of 845 was the least I could do! I am willing to try Collonite 915 next year on my black '10 Outback. From what I read, it grants good protection as well as good incredible reflections (especially on dark colored cars)
 
A lot of cars got Meguiar's M20 Polymer Sealant this season. Another few got Duragloss 101, or 111. One got Surf City Garage Nano Seal (as did mine), and a neighbor got NXT 2.0....

I have a coat of Meguiar's M26 over M20 on my better half's truck. Because it's maintained every other day or so it has been looking great for weeks now.
 
CG Blacklight topped with Jetseal. I also put Jetseal on the windows and Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant on the trim.

Had I not just waxed my car and bought a ton of spray wax on the last big sale this is what I would've done. I was wary of this stuff before, but the last post showing all the polished cars really makes me want it.
 
I'm in Western NY & i've been using 476 (2 layers to assure I didn'the miss anything) for the last 10 years to get me through the snow/ice/salt.

Yeah I normally try not to buy into the early hype every time a new product comes out but this certainly seems like a winner. Jsmooth's pics and review is what convinced me to give it a shot.

I'll probably end up taking my truck through the touch less car wash like I did last year to clean it off. Hate to do it but I don't have a garage and it gets too cold out here to do a rinseless wash so it's really my only option.

Should be a good test of Essences durability
