I've been trying to detail my Jeep all weekend. It took way longer than expected due to weather and not having good lights in the garage I am using. I just applied 845 as my LSP. I don't feel like going back out there in an hour and buffing it off. Is it OK to leave on until tomorrow after work?

Sure, I don't see where this would harm anything....

for one u shouldn't have to wait an hour to buff off . 2nd I think it gonna be a pain to remove if u wait that long . for me it seems the longer I wait to remove the harder it is . wax on , haze , wax off .

I've left 845 on for more than a day without any "major" issues. The issues I had were all the dust etc settling/landing on the waxed car while it sat for that long....that's why I don't make a habit of letting a car sit w/ wax on it that long. But then again, I mainly use UPGP now so no issues w/ waiting for wax to haze up :xyxthumbs:

If you do that, make sure to apply very thin. It will be very hard to remove but it can still be removed. I've intentionally done that before because of the rain and I did not struggle in removing it during the next wash with QD as drying aid.

No offense, but seems kind of silly to not just remove it real quick.

But to answer your question, itshouldnt be too much trouble when you do go to remove it tomorrow.

No offense taken. I'm just exhausted as I've been up since 5 AM. Plus, the garage I'm using doesn't have good lighting.

After a day of leaving my freshly washed and waxed car in the garage, there is always a very fine coating of dust/dirt on the car. I wouldnt want to buff my car with dirt coated 845.

I routinely put #845 on in the morning when I pull into my garage at work, and then take it off before I go home 8-9 hours later. It comes off just as easy if I left it for 20 minutes. Get some rest!

What is the minimum time require for 845 before being buff off?

As long as you applied it thinly, it won't cause any issues - but as others have mentioned, you'd also have to deal with any dust that has settled in the interim, which might introduce marring when you try to buff off your wax.

This thread has a lot of information about Collinite 845...I don't know if that answer is in there or not, I didn't feel like re-reading it. I hope it is helpful to you.

I usually wax the entire vehicle, then start removing from my starting point. I've always had good results doing this.

If there is dust accumulation, use plenty of QD and buff to shine.

how easy or hard was it to remove after sitting for a day ?

It requires applying a little "passion" to the mf towel. Nothing dramatic though.
