Collinite #845: The Definitive How-To Guide For This Legendary Wax

[Hankman]

Most of what I know I have learned here and from the last 7 months or so of experience in taking my care care to the next level, so take it for what it is worth.

I have been using Collinite 845 as a wax on 4 vehicles and it appears to be a great product, then on each wash (about every 1-1.5 weeks) I dry the vehicle with Meg's Ultimate Quick Wax and waffle weave drying micro-fiber. It makes trying much easier, and adds a little "in-between" wax protection.

What I can say is that the car stays cleaner between washes, looks great and beading (which seems to be the common proof of an existing wax) is excellent.

So, is it the Collinite or the Spray Wax or both. Well, probably both, I have not tested either by themselves, others have done that so I don't feel that I need too. I don't do the Spray Wax because I don't trust the Collinite but I use that to make drying much easier and virtually eliminate any hard water spots.

I have found the Collinite 845 is the easiest wax I have used and all reports are that it provides protection longer than most other wax products.

As a side note, I just bought some DuraGloss Aquawax to use instead of Meg's Ultimate Quick Wax just because so many on this forum like that product. Meg's UQW is less expense but I thought I would give DB AW a try.

Thanks for the tip. Just curious, I read that you shouldn't apply sealant on top of wax. Isn't Duragloss Aquawax a sealant?

I see that you have a spray top with the Collinite. How do you use it? Spray the foam pad or spray directly on the paint? Does it clog up at all?

either way will work
as long you feel comfortable to apply....thin is KEY

i tried a couple smaller fine mist sprayer and it did clog
this (similar to chemical guy sprayer) works great for me

Great read.

For those that have used 845 on their windows / glass:

1) How long does it last? The beading?
2) What cleaner do you use afterward to not remove the 845 protection on the windows.

First off, welcome!

I've never kept track of how long it lasts on glass but as far as cleaning the windows, well, regular washes with rinsless washes have always worked for me w/o an issue. The #845 will last you longer than you think, trust me/us!
