[hokis]

Ok guys im sorry for all these posts, but just wanted to make sure I have the right order in applying my products.


1) wash car
2) Clay car with very soppy water
3) ulimate compound some areas (megs)
4) m205 whole car (megs)
5) Collinite 845 whole car
6) Megs Gold Carnuba wax
7) tire dressing from black magic


is this the right order?

Right order however I'll make two suggestions. One use a clay lube instead of soapy water. I've seen water make the clay crumple and I feel that the clay line actually works better. Secondly don't use black magic. It will sling off the tires and all down the side of the car ruining all the hard work you just did.

Also are you working by machine or hand?

, I have had same problem with the Black Magic I gave it away. I used same process recently and turn out great. I used the LC Hydro Tangerine pad with UC then red pad with M205 and wax. Looked great after finishing.

I agree use clay lube or a quick detailer. For the tires anything that is a gel is going to work out great and apply very easily and you wont have to worry abound any sling.

I'd drop #6. After Collinite wax, anything else is just an necessary step.

ONR makes an excellent and very inexpensive clay lube. Plus, you'll have a rinsless wash solution as well. Boom!

+1 a total waste.

What is Collinite 845 btw? Is it a carnauba, sealant or a hybrid?
I think I've read that it has carnauba in it but looking at the durability... I can't imagine it to be a regular carnauba wax. I am thinking it's some sort of a hybrid?

As to the OP... wax is a matter of preference. Go with what you like. If you are happy with Collinite 845, you can skip Gold Class. But if you prefer the look of Gold Class, by all means.

I personally have not used Collinite so I can't comment on it but I do like Gold Class. When I have the extra time, I usually put a layer of Gold Class over a sealant.

BTW... do note the curing time when layering wax/sealant

Collinite 845 is one of those best kept secrets that once you've used it you can't believe you've waited all these years....
