Wax vs. Sealer?

[AdamsCL]

I'm trying to decide whether to use a high quality wax or sealer. I've heard that sealers last longer; possibly up to one year before re-application. I'm leaning towards using a sealer because I only have time to wax once a year. I've found that Griot's Car Care offers a sealer with a claim of lasting up to one year. Any thoughts on sealers and/or brands people have used would be appreciated! Thanks!

I have been using Klasse All In One for a few years now, then topping it off with a high quality wax.

Really, try to make time to wax more than once a year, your paint will thank you!

Depends on what type of wax also too though, either synthetics, carnauba's, or even blends.

I typically do sealants in the winter time for more protection, then use a good wax in the summer for shine.

Use Klasse AIO then top with collinite insulator 845. This combo is very very good for durability

I just put on Meguiars NXT 2.0, topped with 3M performance finish NXT lasts a solid month, two if you don't see a lot of storms, and 3M claims 6 months of protection. I found a thread on some site where a detailer said he had a customers car roll in after 6 months with 3M PF and it's still beading, so I thought I'd try it out. its difficult to remove, but dosen't take away from the NXT 2.0 shine....as for if it really lasts that long....time will tell
