    #845 question

    Hey Guys,

    Just traded for some 845. Even though it came from California and there is about 8 ounces out of 16 left in the container. At room temp the 845 is not clumpy at all it looks like it supposed to once you warm it up for application is this one of those things normal with 845 mysteries. The temp in my house is about 70 degrees.
    The product in the bottle neck was clumpy until I mixed it in.

    Yeah that is completely normal for sure. Even if it the entire contents were "clumpy" is loosens up with hot water run over the bottle or if the #845 is placed in a bowl with hot water in it. Usually if its warm like 70 though, it always stays in liquid form.

    Removing the cap and placing your applicator over the top of it and flipping the bottle over, leaving about a nickle size amount is enough to do an entire section, say a hood or fenders for instance.

    If the outside temps are are above 70 and there is full sun, you don't even need the bowl of water. Just place the bottle in direct sun and it will soften things up nicely. It won't take long.

    Even though the product looks liquified, I'll still give it a really good shake for a minute or so. I once noticed tiny clumps in the drops I put on a black foam pad. A few shakes later and they all went away.

    Re: #845 question

    Ever since I warmed mine up for the first time, it has stayed relatively liquid. I will still put it in the sun for a while before I use it each time, and shake really well, to make sure anything that did firm up gets mixed back in.

    Re: #845 question

    Many products will exhibit this type of behavior
    (some will call it thixotropic-behavior...I'll play along):

    -Product is "thick/thicker" more viscous:
    when at rest/static.
    -Product becomes "thin/thinner" less viscous:
    when shaken, stirred, heated, etc.
    -Product returns to being more viscous:
    when the above influences are removed.

    Something to ponder:
    •What other car-care products exhibit this behavior?
    -How about some of the iron-decontamination gels?
    -Tire/Wheel cleaners and dressings?
    -Other?
