Looking for some wax/sealant advice. I recently picked up an '07 Tundra, Pyrite Mica (Metallic Brown) in colour. I won't be doing any paint correction at this time. Longevity is my main priority, as I don't want to be waxing this behemoth every month. I was thinking of ordering Collinite 845 from eshine, but do you have other recommendations?
Since durability is your main priority, that will automatically take the carnuba wax out of the equation. Carnubas will only last approx 4-6 weeks before they need to be re-applied.
So a synthetic polymer sealant will be what you are after, since it will provide you with paint protection for about 4-6 months (depending on what sealant you choose, your washing habits, etc). There are a number of great sealants on the market. Other than Collinite, some of my personal favorites and recommendations are;
Menzerna FMJ - Although Menzerna discontinued FMJ recently and replaced it with Power Lock, you still might be able to find FMJ in stock somewhere online. It's been my absolute favorite sealant the last few years. A breeze to use, offers average durability and looks fantastic.
Menzerna Power Lock - I personally haven't used this yet however a couple of other professionals in the industry have told me that it's every bit as good as FMJ but offers added depth and gloss like a Carnuba does. Since it's new, I can't speak about it's durability yet.
Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 - Another great sealant that is extremely easy to work with. Offers great depth and gloss.
Zaino Z2/Z5 - Offers awesome durability. Some say it looks a little on the plastic side, however it's all a matter of opinion. I personally like the finish it offers.
Blackfire Wet Diamond - Good depth and gloss, above average durability.
Poorboys EX-P - Average durability, looks great and is cheaper than the majority of other sealants.
I hope this helps.
