Hope so. The words "thick" and "845" just don't do well together.

Thin, thin, thin!

Thick pretty well describes Collinite 845 until you have shaken the heck out of the bottle. :)

generally with all wax and sealant application, it is shake very well (usually a minute or two) and apply as thin as possible. More does not mean better protection, usually just harder to remove.

If 845 is a wax, can be apply over carnuba? and please don't ask me WHY? Just want to know. Thank You.

That was exactly my question. When I first got it it was almost solid in the bottle so I asked, "Is this right?" After I posted I kept shaking and shaking and shaking and shaking then it turned to a liquid, so I deleted my message. When I applied it, it only took about 1 to 1.5 oz for the whole truck so I put it on "thin to win".

FWIW, while it still should be shaken well before use, (Like most products), it never seemed to get as thick again as it first was.

Glaze, previous wax/sealant, whatever. Using a good cleaner/prep would probably be best. I can't really say if it hurt the durability since 6 weeks is a long time for me to go without adding more wax/sealant.

845 has no cleaners, so you can layer it on top of itself or on top of any other product(s).
