Default good winter wax?

during the spring, summer, fall I use pinnacle souveran. Although it doesn't last long and I'm looking for somthing that would last longer for the winter. I hate cleaning cars in the winter.

Collinite 845 Insulator Wax is pretty good. Shine is good and durability its primary attribute (was originally developed for heavy duty use but people found out it works really well on cars).

Collinite 915
Collinite 845
Duragloss 601 + 105
Meguiars M16
Klasse Twins (KAIO + High Gloss Sealant Glaze)

I agree. A sealant is going to last 4 to six months and will give you all the protection of a good wax. During the Summer I use a good Caranuba, but for Winter I wipe on a few layers of good sealant.

Stick to a sealant. I use Wolfgang and Zaino. Zaino last longer but Wolfgang looks better to me.

In my experience, nothing will last 6 months on ... you might get a month or so out of Collinite 456 ... that is a very durable wax and is something I will put on mine shortly ... but I will apply it once a month or so. The Klasse twins are good too as someone above mentioned ... as is Zaino.
