It does well on black too, and red, and blue, and green, and silver and any other color you can think of! I think I have "converted" at least 10 "other guys wax" users.
After taking into consideration the host of favorable
Collinite #845 testimonials (that I've found to be so prevalent):
It appears, to me, that:
There should be no rhyme-or-reason, whatsoever, to ever
apply any other LSP (Last Step Product) upon any vehicles.
Yet...People do.
Why is that?

Is it still a wax that requires application and removal in the traditional sense. Its not as easy as some newer products that last as long and do not require traditional application methods as we have come to know them. Also, if not used correctly (it does have a learning curve) it can be extremely difficult to use and not provide the results one expects.
Having said that, it is still an excellent product, that when used properly is relatively easy to apply and remove, and does offer a nice shine with great protection.
Yeah, but you could say that about any product, really. 845 is tons easier to use than its thicker cousin 476S.
Time for porridge!
True, I've always commonly applied all of Collinite's Pastes with a dampened applicator, seems to help spread the wax thinner, and makes application easier IMO.
Never seemed to feel a need though with 845, stuff just glides on so easily.
The other "oddity" of characteristics I noted with 845 down here in this dusty desert environment, is 845 didn't seem to be a "dust attractant" like one would maybe think it would be.
That after removal, this product doesn't seem to be relying on some "wet" silicone shine enhancers that only look good after using, then lose such a wash or two later.
A hard "dry" protective shell finish coating is created. Lovely stuff indeed!

I have both the 476s and the 845 Insulator and the 476s IS a lot more difficult to use by machine anyway. When I tried to apply the 476s to my polishing pad and started applying it to the car, it wanted to make the pad collapse and become a really compressed mess...kind of like what UPW did with my finishing pads. The 'fix' for that was to move to a firmer polishing pad for application. So in this case does it mean that I should use an even firmer cutting pad to apply the 476s? Not that I'm dissatisfied with the 845 of course.

Honestly, I've never used any Collinite product (have used them all in fact) where I would come away saying "They were extremely difficult to use".
And I've used their pastes in quite cold conditions, hovering near-at 40 degrees.
I wouldn't think anyone would care or attempt to be waxing a vehicle in sub-freezing temps.
