collinite wax for silver paint

[ronki]

hi guys, i'm new at detailing and I want to have a shiny shiny shiny silver vios/belta.

They say 915 are good for dark/black colored cars. So what about silver cars?

heres the shade of silver.

Feed back please

oh btw, you can suggest other brands, but I am limited in terms of buying it, since I don't have a credit card (or a JOB yet [college]). So yeah, collinite is rarely available but I can find some.

Collinite #845 Liquid Insulator Wax is great on all colors IMO. It is offers great protection for daily driver as well

Collinite 845 is spectacular on silver..

I would have to agree with 845.

I just used 845 for the first time on my silver Highlander. I am very happy with how it turned out. So I say yes to it on silver.

Why do people like 845 over 476? Isn't 476 more durable?

Ease of application would be my only guess i love them both but a tad easier to apply liquid over paste with my da

wow! thanks, i guess its 845 then! just a quick question, is it hard to hand buff? because I have a microtex (local brand) wax, and it's kinda hard to buff after a while, I use a MF that has long fibers for easy buffing. So..this is what I think, I have a spray wax QD, will it help if I spray it on the MF towel and then buff the 845?

No need if you apply 845 very thin. Make sure it is consistency of milk (heat/shaking) before applying. You just need a few drops per panel.

ok, i'll need a video for this! haha.

anyway, the car is just 6-7 months old, I've already put a sealant on it (detailing service) a mix of collinite and klasse stuff.

and regularly wax it every week with a cheap-o wax (just for protection and a bit of shine)

now..when I'll apply the 845, do I need to clay/use rubbing compound it?

If you have a new car...it must be clayed, period...if you didn't do it before then do it now. New cars are classically being hit with environmental fallout when they sit in shipping yards or transferring by truck, rail, or ship.

Wash that car with a stripping wash (Chemical Guys citrus wash and clear or dawn), dry, then clay, then follow with IPA 10% wipe down...then polish, glaze (optional), then lastly protect with wax.

oh I forgot to mention, when I got to the detailing shop they clayed it before applying a sealant. :xyxthumbs:

I have used 915 on my wife's silver Honda and it looks great! My car is black and I'm too cheap to buy two waxes :)

Ronki, I just received my bottle of 845. I have to apply it yet but from what I see, you will not have any problem making it liquid as milk. The freaking heat and humidity of the summer will take care of its consistency. All it takes is a normal "shake the bottle well".
