Winter Durability

[Black Bowtie]

In the next month I will be getting the truck ready for winter. It will be clayed and polished, but what Adams product / products should I apply next to give me 6 months of protection?

The truck gets put through the paces during this time during the hunting season on B maintenance roads, corn and bean fields and the winters we have here in Iowa with the salt, brine and sand on the roads.

I have used Collinite 476/845 before and want to know what will give me the protection for about 6 months till spring arrives.

Thanks for any input.

Rich, Liquid Paint Sealant is the most durable product we offer, with Quick Sealant a very close second.

 

I'm in Indiana and I seal our daily drivers up in early October each year and there is still plenty of life left in the protection by the time the weather breaks in the spring.

Thanks Nick, I forgot to say that this is a DD and sits outside 24/7 and black to boot.

I would go LPS and maybe a top coat of Quick Sealant if needed.

 

I have Collinite 845 as well and its on par with it.

I agree.  I find that I sometimes need to do some "touch up" during the winter with Quick Sealant after washing.  Easy and, well, quick.

You should be fine with liquid paint sealant. You could maintain with rinseless wash and detail spray to add a little boost.

This was my experience with MSS on my daily-driven truck last winter.  I sealed in October, drove it all winter (garaged at night), and it still beaded water nicely in the spring.  

 

I'm getting ready to open my first bottle of LPS, so I'm happy to hear I can expect similar/better performance from it.
