I'm not surprised at all. I do a 3 step protection system of DG 501, 105 and then Colli 845. Unbelievable!!!
 
Collinite 845 is one of those waxes that seem too good to be true. Pound for pound I can't find another wax that can compete with it for the price.

Two things I dislike about it;

  1. It needs a different spout
  2. Hard to mix initially until there's room in the bottle
It is easy to soften due to its low melting temperature. If it does become too thick then just pop it in some hot water for a few minutes and it'll become pourable. I did this to mine then transfered it to one of the Autogeek squeeze bottles I bought.
 
Do you have anything under the 845?
 
All I can say is,845 is some good stuff,I do use different waxes but like was said earlier pound for pound you cant go wrong,I easily get 3-4 months and its priced right for the budget
 
Great winter wax. I really like it but like to experiment with different products too much to use it all the time.
 
The Collinite factory is about 3 miles from my house. When I need some, I go down, walk in.. 10 bucks, not bad!

I think you you look in everyones product arsonist you'll find a variety of polishes, sealants, and waxes. :xyxthumbs:
 
This product is supposed to be super easy to use (apply and remove) but I had no such luck with it, and found it to be a pain to use.

I prefer 915, and that is supposed to be difficult to use, but I found it to be easier than 845.

:confused:
 
The trick to applying Collinite 845 or any LSP is to apply a very thin layer. I apply Collinite 845 with my PC 7242 DA machine with a LC blue pad. I squeeze 4 dime sized spots, place it on the surface, spread it around on 3 then bump it up to 5 and start working onto the paint. I'll let it dry for about 10 minutes then buff it off with a Microfiber towel.... Never had a problem..

Every time I try to apply any LSP with a DA at anything over speed 2 or 3 for just a quick couple passes it wants to dry up and becomes a bear to remove.

Great family bussiness.
I like the collection of old cans in the "Show Room"
I gave them a couple old cans from the 50/60's from one of my buddys that have moved on.

You must live right in Utica.

I felt the need to follow up on this post because I have since tried 845 IW on two cars since I last tried it on my yellow SS paint.

Not sure what made the difference, but the 845 not only went on and off with ease, but it left a very nice bright, glossy and wet look on the cars that I put it on.

Now I like 845 IW better than the 915.
