Collinite #845: The Definitive How-To Guide For This Legendary Wax

[umi000]

I would wash, use the Deep Crystal paint cleaner, and then apply the 845 - the paint cleaner is a pretty good product that will remove any old wax remnants and leave the surface clean and ready for a new wax application.

Is collinite 845 toxic? Can I use it on my shower door to prevent soap scum? lol

PS. I'm only half joking! haha

I put collinite 845 on my windshield today and the wiper blades began to chatter... So I used APC to take it off and now it's fine... I thought the 845 would make it more slick?

Ahh...lesson well learned...been there done that...LOL!!
What has worked for me is Permanon...I use yet over Collinite 845 and I get beads on beads. Plus Permanon is just too easy to apply, you'll see rain drops roll off your windshield.

Thanks for that. I'll have to order a bottle and try it out.

Back to the collinite 845. With my PC I apply it at a speed of 3. What speed would I use the PC on with a MF bonnet to buff it off? 6?

Nick, I have seen this thread but never actually read it. Wow, was I missing something. The information that you imparted was well written, humourous in parts and very clear and easy to understand. You are a good writer! (Your photography skills are good too).

Any recommendations on what type of applicator to use if I will be applying this by hand?
