Long Lasting wax/sealant

I'm looking for a long lasting wax/sealant. This will be for the family cars (04 Camry, 06 taco, 97 eclipse) so "show car" shine is not a priority. Just good protection so the paint doesn't get damaged from exposure to the sun/rain/elements. I'm in Houston TX so the summers are HOT!!! (100+F) and the winters are mild (no snow or salt). Cars are parked outside during work hours.

Cars gets washed once a month unless it gets really dirty from rain before then.

I've heard Klasse AIO last 6 months before needing re-application. But everytime I've read raves about it they say it needs a topcoat. I read on Autopia that Klasse AIO doesn't last anywhere near 6 months unless you use a topper. True?

I tried to get the guru wax report but the website appears to be down. Anyone know the story on this? How long did the test run for?

What is the longest lasting one step wax/sealent that you guys currently know of that provides good protection?

Klasse AIO? (popular)
Meguires cleaner wax? (CR resommended) - currently using this one with OK results.
Xymoil [Walmart]? (seen a test on the net that had it 2nd ot Zaino 2 step process)
NuFinish? (old CR recommendation)

I don't mind spending the money on expensive stuff if its easy to use, lasts, and doesn't damage the paint over long term use.


thanks

Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection or Klasse Sg. The SG has better durability but the Four Star is easier to use, and provides better reflective qualities on metalics and darks.....Light colors its not all that discernable....

There is a guy, who is a professional detailer, who comes to my office every now and then, but he has a product that lasts better than a wax but shines like one. He said it lasts up to 9 months. I will give him a call and see if it is available to the public and what its name is.

Klaase AIO and a coat of Klaase Sealant Glaze overtop. The sealant glaze is kinda hard to buff out though. Found that using a quick detailer mist, it comes off really easy. I have a silver truck and it looks AWESOME after a coat of each.

SOunds like you appled the SG too thick. It's easy to remove if you apply it thin. Applying it thick doesn't add any extra protection. I apply the SG so that I can barely see it on the paint.

In my experience, 5 to 8 months. It depends on your climate and conditions.
