What is your Slickest/Cleanest Rinsing LSP?

With Winter protection and low maintenance in mind, what is your favorite single product or combination of products for a slick finish that resists road grime, salt adhesion, etc. and easily washes clean or stays relatively "clean" from rain?



I currently have a preference for DG501 topped with AW.



I have noticed that topping DG501 with CGWMF diminishes the slickness.

Fk1 #1000 hands down for that.
 
Can't go wrong with the collinites. I have both 476s and 845. I haven't had 476s long enough to do a durability test but 845 lasts me at least 3 months, by then I usually polish and rewax anyways.
 
I'd have to say Collinite 476s. It releases dirt like no other IMO. Nothing sticks to this stuff.



FK1000 is my second fav though. Also very good.
 
Slickest = UPP



Cleanest-rinsing/best dirt-sheddding = 476S (or fresh #16)



Using FK425 as the final step helps on both counts, no matter what the LSP is.
 
Interesting. I had just tested this weekend after claying:

-476s

-UPGP

-FK1000p

-FK2180

-mothers reflections

-mothers step 3 carnauba liquid



By far, UPGP was the slickest of the bunch. The other ones varied slightly among each other but for just being slick to the touch, UPGP is in a different world to those other products. I don't know how slick to the touch will relate to dirt releasing easily, but I guess I'll see in the coming weeks.



So I'm wondering what products are even slicker to the touch than UPGP. Wolfgang DGPS 3.0 and blackfire UPP are things I heard are super slick but have never used.

Z2pro or Z5pro takes the cake. A couple years ago I would have said FK1 2180, but Zaino definitely has a leg up on FK1, in my opinion.

FK2180 is slick? It doesn't feel very slick to me unless I've messed up application somehow. Neither does 1000p feel very slick. Though both of them are slicker feeling than 476s.
 
Given my process back in the day:



Clay.. clay some more. :) polish, IPA wipedowns between coats, then 2180, followed by fk1 425.. I found that to be decently slick and clean rinsing. Like I said though, Zaino is king in that department for me now.

Optimum car wax, or FK1's FX100 (maybe the slickest one in my experience).



As far as FK1 1000 - extremely slick. Not sure how it varies with people. I just applied some to our van's hood and boy was it slick. The rest of the car has on OCW

I have to stick my neck out and say NXT is pretty darn slick and sheets of dirt adn water very well. I've never tried FK, UPGP, Zaino, but I've used just about everything else mentioned here.



that darn NXT is good. ok off to bed.
