Yes, 845 will add protection however i would refrain from using duster everyday. There is no problem with the duster its just that using it everyday is not necessary .UNLESS its parked outside where it gets dirty every now and then. Quote:

Wax over a wax works like a charm. Go with a very good PH neutral shampoo. Quote:

Proklear works fine. Alternate option which is like a gold standard in rinse less washes is Optimum ONR Wash and wax.(Green One) Quote:

Collinite 845 is a wax.
Sonax BSD is a sealant. Both solve the same purpose. Using BSD over the 845 should work however you might see a minor drop in the gloss which is obvious. BSD is mainly for protection than gloss. Play safe and use both combinations (845 then BSD and vice versa)one by one on a panel first and see the result & decide. Quote:

The regime you have to follow depends on lot many factors than just the amount of products you can buy and use. Few of them are :-
->How frequently can you wash(Access to free flowing water etc)
->How frequently is a wash required in first place(depends on how dirty your car gets and how soon)
->What's your threshold of watching your car staying dirty and for how long
->Do you wash the car yourself or though help?
->How much durability you need per application(PPF>Ceramic coating>Sealant>Wax)
->How much effort you are ready to put in .
->Color of car
I am not a pro but have some understanding based upon my experience. Ping me and we can chalk out some plan |
