used collinite for the first time ever tonight on my jeep

I must say, it lives up to every review i read

very very easy on, and very easy off

good shine, excellent water beading

I must say im very happy, cant wait to try in on black and see what id does!

why didnt i hear of this stuff before!
 
It does well on black too, and red, and blue, and green, and silver and any other color you can think of! I think I have "converted" at least 10 "other guys wax" users.

Great stuff for sure!
 
After taking into consideration the host of favorable
Collinite #845 testimonials (that I've found to be so prevalent):

It appears, to me, that:
There should be no rhyme-or-reason, whatsoever, to ever
apply any other LSP (Last Step Product) upon any vehicles.

Yet...People do.
Why is that?

I don't know Bob, I get sick of having the same thing for lunch everyday (they serve porridge here in the home).

Mine is usually cold...
Sounds like your fare is also not suited for your taste.


A Passing Thought:
Probably too late now...But I suppose I
should have been nicer to my "next of kin".

collonite is great. just started getting into detailing and this wax just works wonders
 
So if I understand...

Collinite IS LSP product?

I was under the impression that high end waxes on top of collinite produces a deeper, wetter look.

Am I seeing this right?

That's how i use it...as an LSP. I have found no need to "top" Collinite 845 with anything that might enhance what it already yields.

Is it still a wax that requires application and removal in the traditional sense. Its not as easy as some newer products that last as long and do not require traditional application methods as we have come to know them. Also, if not used correctly (it does have a learning curve) it can be extremely difficult to use and not provide the results one expects.

Having said that, it is still an excellent product, that when used properly is relatively easy to apply and remove, and does offer a nice shine with great protection.

Yeah, but you could say that about any product, really. 845 is tons easier to use than its thicker cousin 476S.

Time for porridge!

True, I've always commonly applied all of Collinite's Pastes with a dampened applicator, seems to help spread the wax thinner, and makes application easier IMO.

Never seemed to feel a need though with 845, stuff just glides on so easily.

The other "oddity" of characteristics I noted with 845 down here in this dusty desert environment, is 845 didn't seem to be a "dust attractant" like one would maybe think it would be.

That after removal, this product doesn't seem to be relying on some "wet" silicone shine enhancers that only look good after using, then lose such a wash or two later.

A hard "dry" protective shell finish coating is created. Lovely stuff indeed!

Honestly, I've never used any Collinite product (have used them all in fact) where I would come away saying "They were extremely difficult to use".

And I've used their pastes in quite cold conditions, hovering near-at 40 degrees.

I wouldn't think anyone would care or attempt to be waxing a vehicle in sub-freezing temps.
 
They bite on that "this wax gives a WARM glow...really make the paint POP" crap. Wax is a protectant, polish makes the car shine!
 
Yep...
Probably nothing like polish-ing off a bicyclist:
to make some people's vehicles really shine. :xyxthumbs:


Bob
 
So according to monguse---

Polishing IS where it's at...

So the success of the work (clarity, shine, depth) falls at the polishing stage---rite?
