    waxed both cars this weekend

    Not anything special. Black 2010 ford focus and a 2012 jeep wrangler. Just preparing them for Michigan winters. I did a hand wash/wax interior detail with some rain x on the windshields


    anyway the reason im posting this is just for those who are thinking about collinite products


    I was introduced to collinite from this forum. What i read, reviews etc, the product seemed to good to be true. I watched videos on youtube etc.
    I was skeptical to say the least..
    think about it...
    no fancy package
    no fancy advertising
    pretty small company by what i can see on the website
    No special "shine enhancers, gloss boosters, nano technology" that we hear alot about these days with waxes and polishes


    Well this is my 3rd time using it, and i must say the 845 should be illegal. Waxing a car should not be that easy. I feel like waxing a car should be labor intensive, this is no different the using a detailer spray (in terms of easy on/easy off)


    This stuff goes on so easy, comes off easier!!! The shine is great, fantastic protection.

    The paint is so smooth, beads water and it last for a long time!!!!!


    If anybody out there is debating on collinite products...I highly recommend them! I cant see using anything else

    Like i said earlier, the products go on so easy it should almost be illegal

    Yeah , they pretty much have dominated there competitors with there secret sauce small little company out of Utica ny,been around along time.I wish they came out with a easy to use spray wax with some of the hydrophobic properties.They maybe contempt with what they already have already and sells a lot.so why enter the spraywax rat race,very good product that they offer and cheap as well.

    I also love 845, what a product. I used it to do a car back in May (that's never washed or maintained), and it's still beading strong!

    I think you could basically put it in a spray bottle and use it as a "spray wax" as long as you keep it warm (90f+).

    I mean like a transparent not as thick spraywax.

    Re: waxed both cars this weekend

    thats not a bad idea, i have never tried that


    of course, when its ready to be applied its just like a thick water

    I use a chemical guys foam pad to put it on and it goes on really fast

    I think i average 15-20 min per car to put it on with good coverage


    Wiping it off is just about as easy! I think a spray would get messy and you would have alot of extra work in going back and getting it off plastics/glass??

    3 dime sized drops is enough for an entire front end!

    Make certain to allow it to haze properly before removal.

    Welcome to the #845 "family" - I have other products in my LSP arsenal(Meg's 26, Pinnacle Souveran, etc) but can't beat 845 for the reasons you've described - cost/ease of use/durability.

    By the way - next time include in your subject line "Waxed both cars this weekend with #845" - you will often get more comments/views from forum members when they can immediately see from your subject line the work that was performed and/or products used

    Just my 2 cents,
    David
