I followed with 2 coats of Klasse Hight Glosse Sealant Glaze. I only got one coat of Collinite's No. 845 on before Monday.

I started again Thrusday night on my wheels. Lets' just say I am a little obsessed with my wheels. Here is another link.

Then I washed again before the second coat of Collinite, just look at that water beading up.

Thanks Jimmie for the hardware store suggestion... I took a printout from Texas TB and found exactly what I needed.

Looking great as usual. The finish looks great. The Klasse twins was my winter protection for the past two years. This year I did Jeffs Werkstatt (updated Klasse pretty much) and topped with #845. I'm going to try to top the #845 as often as I can to keep protection optimal during the winter months.

Tonya..very nice....it looks top class in the flake show...lol....you will be set for winter no problem...next year we will get you to try a collinite paste like 915 ..lol...thats my favorite for winter...it just lasts....and looks great....

845 is the easiest to use thats why I suggested it for you to use......and looks good..but the paste just goes and goes in the winter...

Your protection you have on now will get you into spring no problem...you did a very nice job and it shows....

Great Job....
