Collinate 845..I had to do it
I've been an Autogeek member since 2011 and have become a self inflicted wax junky. I have a decent selection of house waxes and was even given Zymol Royale to try by a local AG member. But all the praises of Collinite 845 got the better of me. Honestly the price ($20 when not on sale) kept me away. It was just to "cheap" for a wax. I know that's not intelligent but as an enthusiast I did not mind plunking down some money for my collection. Anyway I finally bought 845. Tried it, like it. Went on easy, removed easy and left a deep glossy reflection. That's a great start in my book. Have to see about the durability in this upcoming Michigan winter now.

Re: Collinate 845..I had to do it
It is a good product but it is difficult to apply in the winter. I am always concerned about the product gelling up if I am using it outside and it is 35 degrees. I use it for the winter and I can get a good 3-4 months out of it.

Yep
I had the bottle soaking in hot water for about an hour before using it.
I used inside the garage
About 50 degrees

Mine I keep in my laundry room and it stays watery. It does separate on top a bit but then a few seconds of shaking and it’s at the desired buttermilk consistency... ready for use. I guess I got a lucky bottle or my laundry room is just perfect temperature.

•$20.00...for a Car Wax?
-That’s not too cheap, IMO.
•In fact:
-$20.00 is fast approaching the maximum
amount I’m willing to pay for a Car Wax.

Okay, I'm interested. I'm a 476s fanboy. But the Evo has a big vent in the hood and heat ventilating from the engine bay causes wax/LSP on the hood to breakdown much quicker than the rest of the car. At least this is my guess...I waxed the car in the spring and the hood is the only panel on the car lacking any beading properties anymore (and it's really only in a small area behind the vent).
I typically just use a carnauba on the Evo since it is a garage queen, so I'm not surprised it has started breaking down at this point considering it was applied in May/June, but the hood being the only panel that seems to be lacking any protection leads me to believe it is from the heat. I was going to step it up to 476s in the spring, but maybe FK1000P is my answer...
Tell me more (PM me if needed).

Re: Collinate 845..I had to do it
I can remember far back buying it when it was about $11-$12 no matter where. With the good sales here, it still can be gotten quite cheap, and no matter the cost it truly is a great product.
Really hallmark products the collinite waxes. You're going to love the beading.
They leave a very nice hard shell feel to the paint, #476 even more so IMO.
