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

[70 Cobrajet]

I have a couple of questions about topping with Collinite 845.

I currently use WG FG 3.0 and finish the job with Fuzion. I have used this for a couple of years and really like the way my vehicles look. If needed, I will use the WG TSR 3.0, but that is normally about 1 time per year.

The last time I applied the WG Fuzion was about 4 weeks ago. I recently obtained a sample of the Collinite 845 product. I washed both vehicles last weekend and decided to apply the 845. The product went on very good and came off with no problems. I think it made the paint pop even more and when it rained the other day, the water just ran off the vehicles.

My questions are,
1.) If I follow my original steps listed above after removing the WG Fuzion, how long do I need to wait to apply the 845?

2.) Can I apply it in the same day just adding one more step?

3.) Can I go directly from the WG FG 3.0 to the Collinite 845 instead of using the Fuzion?

4.) Will the vehicle look as good? The paint is in very good condition.

5.) I know the 845 should/will last longer than the Fuzion; can I apply the 845 about every 10-12 weeks after washing the vehicle as long as the vehicle does not need the above mentioned steps? I stay away from car washes and the vehicles are in a garage every night.

Thanks,
Mike

845 is good enough to use without a sealant. I use it every winter and it does very well.

845 can last 4 months easily and likely longer unless you put your car through a fair amount of abuse. Try 2 layers of 845 and see what happens (just an idea). There is no cure time for TSR and FG; once you are done you can go straight to your LSP (845 or Fuzion).

Just got my bottle today, it's 100 degrees here in Los Angeles today and the heat had thankfully liquified 845 for me! hahaha

Hi,

If the weather man is correct we should have a beautiful day tomorrow.Time to prep my SUV for the winter. Before proceeding I have five questions:

1- Does this product stains the trims?

2- I want to apply 2 thin thin thin coats is there a cure time between the two coats?

3- I want to use LC CSS grey pad to apply the wax using my Flex 3401 I'm I correct?

4-To buff the wax I was thinking using my PC 7424XP with a microfiber bonnet over the original backing plate supplied with the PC.?
5- Should I wax the entire car before buffing or work a little section at a time?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
Best regards,
Johny.

FAQs » Collinite

That will answer some questions you have.

1. It's not recommended for trim.

2. If you look at the faq, it says to call them for cure times, even though two coats isn't necessary.

3. I used a gray ccs pad to apply mine and it worked great.

4. I like spraying quick detailer on it then buff it off with a soft mf towel, but there are many other ways.

5. This wax goes on so easy I'd just wax then entire car then come back and remove it after you've applied it to the whole car.

Just did my first coat of 845 yesterday. Very easy to use. Wondering if I could go over it today with Flitz Waxx Speed Wax, just to add another layer of protection? Thanks.
