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

[davidc]

I already have a bottle of 845 and don't want it to go to waste. I got told 845 has solvents so use it first otherwise it will remove the initial wax. But if 476 is meant to go on first i'm happy to do that. I just want the car to be properly protected.



Great i'll apply 476 as my base coat and then top with 845. I prefer doing it all in one day to eliminate waxing over contamination on the paint. I'm glad 476 held up for you. I live in Australia and we're about to enter summer where the temperature will be 104 degree's daily so it will need to cope with that.

Is 476 able to be applied by hand ?

Yes it can be applied by hand. I know you want to do it in one day but I would think letting the 476 cure for at least a day is a better option, just wash it before the 845. 104 is almost approaching air conditioning here in AZ.. All kidding aside 104 is still hot and you have a lot of UV so I understand wanting all the protection you can get.

If it makes you feel better 2 coats of 476S has survived the AZ. summer ranging from 100 to a high of 117 and the Monsoon season with a lot of extra rain this year. I do not know your average UV but the maps of the U.S. I have looked at show AZ. in the extreme 11's. The UV in your country will better determine the Longevity of 476S or 845 along with the prep before applying.

Sorry, I didn't explain properly. Usually I apply my first coat, then wait over night and the next morning apply the second coat. I wait 12 hours between coats. I thought you meant apply the first coat, then wash the car and a few days later apply another quote.
I can do the heat. I can't do the UV !

How hard or easy is 456 to apply by hand ?

That's good to know ! I'm very happy with 845 and 476 is meant to be even better in terms of looks and protection. I'm just worried about applying by hand as some people say it's hard. But I don't know if it's the same as 845.
Wish I could garage the car and use 915.

Apply thin, leave the spatula in the Kitchen. It is not really hard and do a section at a time. Do not do the whole vehicle and keep an eye out for spots you missed or require a little more buffing to remove. Once you get use to it and get past the stories you will be ok.

3-pack? Wow. Unless you do a lot of buisness or have a large number of cars, that should be a lifetime supply!

I just ordered a bottle. Winter is on it's way and I want to get some good protection on the Charger before the crap hits. I'll have a couple layers on before mid October.

Yeah I detail as a side hobby. I use 845 on the cars I detail. The 3 pack will last a long time :-)
