Any tips for a winter polish?

[davoaj]

Evening guys!

Just a quick one really, with winter now looming large I am planning on giving the car a good clean at the weekend and putting a few coats of sealant on the wheels.

With that in mind, any tips for a good polish to use on the bodywork?

I tend to clean it once a fortnight with a bit of super resin polish being applied once a month or so in the summer months but wanted to know if there was anything people tend to use as good wax for the winter?

I'll obviously be keeping the regular cleaning up through the winter, weather permitting.

Cheers

845 is an easy on off collinite wax for using over the winter and the 476's is better for summer application due to it being warmer.

Does that mean you don't wax during the summer? 476 is a very durable wax and ideal for thw winter.

No mate, I was just looking for something more durable for the winter. Last winter the car lived in a nice warm underground car park and was well protected with the usual treatment but I've since moved and it now sits on the drive exposed to the elements.

Good shout on the 845 by the way if it's easier to apply in the cold!

845 is a liquid/gel version of 476 it goes on like butter, mega easy and a little goes a long way.
i normally do a layer or two of 845 then cap it off with some of my beloved purple haze.
