No point skimping on this kind of thing IMO.

Rather spend a bit more and use a decent product. I use only Bilt Hamber products on my car now...

I've used Autoglym's HD wax for the last 3 winters and its been very good. Its long lasting as I tend to only wax it every 6-8 months. My car is kept garaged though that obviously helps. It was a lot cheaper from Amazon that what most motor factors sell it for - about £25 iirc but that was 3 years ago!

Any collinite wax is good and perfect for winter.

No. 467 but it's a paste wax which in thisc cold weather can make it a pig to apply

If you want something easier and almost as durable 3M do a liquid wax

Sealants are good for winter protection, can then top up with a wax if you want to get a slightly better shine.
