Ssshhh...don't say this kind of thing to the rust belt folks, it just upsets them. Like when we say the difference between winter driving and summer driving is nothing more than whether we use SPF15 or SPF30 sunblock.


upstate, give you baby the full treatment before putting her away for the winter (wash, clay, polish, two very thin coats of your favorite wax) and she'll be sparkling come the first beautiful day of your new driving season.

The life expectancy of any wax or sealant is totally dependent on exposure to a variety of environmental factors and how you wash it. The more frequent the exposure, the harsher the exposure, the more aggressive the wash techniques, all play a factor. While some waxes/sealants certainly last longer than others you simply can not say Brand X will last for any specific amount of time - there are simply too many variables. Further, because of these same variables, even though Brand X may last 6 months for me, it may not for you.
