My Challenger finally has a garage to sleep in, but I need to find a better wax type product for my daily driven Mitsubishi Montero Sport (darn shame Dodge didn't sell a version of these).
I've read good things about Collinite 845 and also about mixing Duragloss 105 and 601.
Not so much worried about show car shine, more with not washing off (truck spends a lot of time on dusty and muddy roads) and not baking off in the Georgia sun and heat. Also looking for something that goes on and off like normal wax, not interested in spending a whole weekend on multiple steps of prepping, multiple layers, multiple products, etc.
Annnd go!

I am a sales guy and my truck sees lots of interstate driving. I have found just lately to use something with a ceramic in it. you do have to clay bar the vehicle or wheel it first to get most of the crap out of the paint. once you wax with the new ceramic they suggest to have it sit and stay dry for at least 24 hours. if you cant let it sit I don't know what happens but I would go the ceramic base wax if you can, and everyone has one so you have a lot to choose from. just my two cents ![twocents twocents](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/twocents.gif)
Thank you Kiddart

The old original Astro Shield. My dad dabbled as a dealer for that stuff & I still have 6 or so cans of it left. I've heard from people & read on forums where people would swear by it. Personally I don't know, but people rave about it still.

I agree, using a clay bar once in awhile works wonders. I can't believe the crap that comes out of the paint after a good washing.
I still like Nu Finish as well. It really is pretty good stuff, and buffs off easy.

man, your car looks GREAT ! i always liked those magnums ! I agree! Wish they still made them. Thanks guys! I wish they made new ones as well, I would probably buy one. The only thing I miss is some of the modern electronics, like adaptive cruise control etc. A 6.4 SRT would be very nice!
