    Collinite 845

    So is this a wax or a sealant???? I will be ordering a buffer kit and a few other things along with it ( if and when they have the next no exclusions sale)and would like to try the Collinite 845 if this is a last step what would be a good sealant to use first???? I am leaning towards the Griots buffer but they are on Back Order anyone know what's up with that?

    As far as I know it is a hybrid.

    It should work well enough on its own in terms of protective abilities. Over here in South Africa I will typically see 4 to 6 months out of it.

    So basically I could do the correction needed and follow up with the 845 and call it good??

    Absolutely!

    If you want, apply a 2nd coat the next day. This is, hands down, one of the easiest to apply and even easier to remove products on the market, period! Take the cap off, place you applicator pad over the top and flip upside down, leaves a spot the size of a dime and that amount will go a long, long way!

    Can't see any reason why not.

    I have followed that route on many vehicles, all without issue.

    Its bottle call it insulator wax. Easy to apply and easy to clean. Collinite 476s is more durable and detergent proof, but its difficult to apply. LSP for sure. Apply thin.

    If you apply 845 properly then 476 would be just as smoothe.

    Ditto.

    I did the same. Last winter a single coat of 845 on my daily driver lasted 6 months through the worst winter we've seen in decades. I also just used a glaze rather than correcting and it still lasted that long. Some here worry about glazes shortening the lifespan of the LSP applied on top.

    Re: Collinite 845

    Ok, listen I'm not raggin' on any one person here, even though its been mentioned once again but I have used all 3 of the Collinite triplets in different ways and have NEVER, EVER had an issue applying it and more importantly REMOVING IT, PERIOD! I know alot of bad info can go out on a forum like ours here but this has been a theme that comes up all the time and its just not true. I have applied both #476 and #915 per the directions and had NO issue removing it. I then applied both product to the car from start to finish and THEN removed, again, NO ISSUE WITH REMOVAL! I then applied both products to the car and left it on the car for an entire day, then removed it and guess what, NO ISSUE WITH REMOVAL! Now just to be clear here, I removed each seperately, not together, I know it reads like this but that's not the case, 3 different methods with each products, so I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable with Collinite and all this talk about #476 and #915 being hard to remove just isn't true and I wish it would stop because all its doing is keeping people from trying 2 of the best products on the market, period!
