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

[JBL]

Saying that, I'm thinking about a small spray bottle, just be sure to let it sit in the sun to thin up before using and after using, clean out the straw and spray head.

I found these in one of the chain auto stores near me for the same price...

12 oz. Mirror Glaze Dispenser Bottle

It works great. It lets out a tiny amount and fits inside of a large glass, perfect for running under hot water in the kitchen sink. It holds just a little bit less than the whole bottle.

I use these for M105/205. Much easier to handle than the larger bottles

Tried Collinite # 845 for the first time and turned out great. Easy to use and to wipe off. Thanks for the info on how to use it. I put the Collinite # 845 in a bucket of hot water for 15 minutes and turned in to a liquid wax. I did'nt have a empty bottle to transfer it in, but will get one. Just like they say apply a thin layer on car. Now to see how it holds up to Michigan winter.

I love this wax, but does anyone else have this problem?
I apply it to customers cars sometimes, but I usually don't see the cars the next day so I don't know if this happens.
I apply it thin with a red ccs pad. Let it haze for about 45 minutes and wipe off. I usually go over the car a couple times with the microfiber and look at it from multiple angles to make sure I got it all off. Well the next day, most of the car looks very hazy and greasy. My car is black btw.

Sounds like you didn't completely remove the product after it dried to a haze. A friend of mine ran into the same problem with the wax after he insisted on applying a heavy coat. His car is also black and the next day it was hazy. Try going over it with a quick detail spray or apply the wax thinner next time and be sure it fully dries to a haze before wiping it off.

Here's an update.

Went to Walmart and got a small spray bottle, about 6 or 8oz. They're over in the hair care products.

Warmed up some 845, shook and poured it in. While I was getting my car ready, I put the spray bottle in the sun. When I was ready, the wax was like spraying water.

The things I liked, it covers your pad evenly, you can mist a little on the car and spread around and I used lot less than in the past.

I think the key here is to set it in the sun so that it's nice and watery.

BobbyG turned me on to 845 and love it. This is my wifes dd back in December after M205 and two coats of 845. It is 10 months later and still beads water.

I waxed my kia Sorento with it today and used it on the black plastic trim as I was reading from another forum member and was impressed with how my trim and the rest of the SUV looked.
