Yes, he answered the questions very well. A two day turnaround is very good, considering this was over Thanksgiving. Agreed.

You're welcome to that opinion, I just remember contacting customer service because this bottle of what I though was liquid wax was not pushing out anything onto the applicator pad. Then I read that you needed to shake it considerably, or put it in a pan of hot water, if you wanted it to be...

So far, two votes for "it makes no difference."

I would have no idea. At this point, whether they bond or adhere, my concern is if putting wax on paint, rather than on an old layer of wax, will increase the life of the wax layer, before it wears away. Have you stripped the old wax layer off on your cars first? And if so, have you noticed...

What I used today is the generic Turtle Wax soap. I used it at double strength, and there was a lot of beading last week when I washed the van, and this morning when I rinsed it off initially, but virtually none today after rinsing off the soap, so I interpret that to mean that a lot of the wax...

Now that's an interesting reply. :o How about this--has anyone here who has started stripping off the old wax layer, seen their new wax jobs last longer?

I'm wondering how helpful it would be, to use a harsh soap to strip the old wax layer off the car, before putting on the new layer. Let's just assume that the same wax is being used for the old and new application (which will be the case, when I run out of the stuff I currently have). Does...

Great. My complaint wasn't about your site specifically--this was my first email. Its just in general, whenever I email a company.

Interesting. I can see why then, Collinite says to keep 845 out of freezing temperatures--it is a paste if anything ever was. Thanks for the input. Have you thought of getting a Mother's sub-forum here at AG? Earlier today I sent an email to your tech support (email addy taken from your...

I was browsing the Collinite website and came across a note (on their page for 845, on their notes on page 4, for this product: http://www.collinite.com/assets/Uploads/Product-Tech-Sheets-PDF/TTech845pdf.pdf), that it should be discarded if it gets below freezing. This surprised me, as I had...

At least the hood would be easier (and cheaper) to repaint, than the entire vehicle was. OK I'll keep it as is, careful not to agitate it, and see how long I can get away with it as it is.

OK, anything I can do to prevent or lessen this?

If you don't feel that it is necessary, then I won't bother (that's why I'm posting here). If there is already paint there, then I'm fine with that. Earlier, when you mentioned "exposed primer" I misunderstood and thought you were saying there WAS exposed primer or metal. I reread it and see...

In which case, my main concern should be simply not to agitate that area? You wouldn't recommend my placing a small amount of paint down there? You are correct, it was not a very expensive paint job. It was about half of what a local body shop wanted, although what I eventually paid was about...

I got my car repainted a year ago. It has a five year warranty, not sure exactly what is covered. But I'd like to know if I can expect a problem, with a little bit of paint that looks like it is tearing away from the windshield washer spray nozzle. Just to let you know what normal is, the last...

Not on the website--which is where I looked. For some reason I figured that would have more detailed info on a product, than the bottle itself. So much for that theory. The web page just says it brings a "carnuba shine" to the paint, but didn't indicate what was in it.

I got this way after paying to have one of my vehicles repainted. It made a world of difference--a year later the car still looks nice. But now I'm much more careful to preserve the paint itself, before it looks junky. Since then, its been washes almost every weekend, and wax jobs whenever the...

The "test" was rather subjective---eyeball only. I looked the car over after the initial spray, and again after the rinsing off of the soap. I don't know if changes in smog from one time of year to another might have been enough to have caused the difference, but others are suggesting that the...

Another thread with a guy who took temps of car surfaces when it was 80 degrees out: How much hotter is a black car than a white car in the sun? I can see the dark grey car hitting 180 when it was hotter out, in the middle of the day (and one of my cars is metallic grey). So heat, as well as...

Here is a link for a thread by Mike when he was at the Meguiar's forum: Working in the sun? How HOT does your car's paint get? Various outside temps were taken, for cars with different types of paint. I only wish we would know what the ambient temperature of the day was, when those pics were taken.
