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

[Nick McKees37]

Hey Nick, what is the recommended time for applying a second coat of #845?

It's best to wait a couple hours.

As with 845 and 476, the key on 915 is thin,thin,thin.
Don't work too far ahead, as 915 can be very tough to remove if left to haze too long. As soon as it passes the swipe test wipe off the haze. I find that if I apply on two panels and wipe off the first, staying one panel ahead as I go around the car, it works pretty well for me.

This works well for me too. I had a dumb moment a few weeks back and did my entire car with 915 before wiping......won't do that again. The other times I used it, I did it exactly as BillyJack stated and it was easy to work with.

I believe you on this for sure as you wouldn't have posted it otherwise but I've applied 4 coats of #915 to my car, the last 3 were applied to the entire car and then removed, no problems. I do this in our underground parking spot, out of any sun FWIW.

Depends on the size of the vehicle also. Applying to an entire SUV then wiping off night yield different results wiping off.

In an unrelated application, well kinda, I applied #845 to my car and let it sit on the car for 2 days and then removed it. I did this as a little test, nothing more, nothing less and yes, it came right off w/o a problem! Love Collinite!

Any recommendations of a good quick detailer to use once 845 has been applied/cured.

Love 845 just looking for something to keep it fresher between.

A lot of make QD out of our rinseless washes, there's usually a ratio for it on the jug on the back.

I've used a few QD's including Griot's, Optimum (both OID and diluted ONR), as well as a few Meguiar's, and haven't found anything yet that doesn't play well with any of the Collinites.

While 845, 476 and 915 last seemingly forever, the slickness and gloss do diminish a bit over time. Using a wax-as-you-dry product, such as Griot's Spray-On Wax or DG Aquawax (my personal favorite) will bring some bling back.

I have tried several but my favorites are Megs Ultimate Quick Detailer, ONR with Nuba, and UWPP. ONR and UWPP are versatile in their uses.
