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

    Maybe skip the Menzerna next time. I don't know what to tell you, but mine is still going strong. The car is a daily driver that's in the garage when not in use so that could be a factor. I did run it through a touchless wash 3 times since October. I try not to do that until I have to... when I...

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

    In October of 2014 I washed my car, clayed it, used a paint cleaner, and then put on one coat of Collinite. It's still beading a 7 on a scale of 1-10 and this is in the nasty northeast. It lasts a long time no matter what the prep is, but will last even longer if you do something similar to what...

    Wheel Wells?

    For WHEEL WELLS I use a cheap bone sponge, get in there real good and wash by hand. If I use a brush I go with a Carrand 93039 20" Heavy Duty Wash Brush. In both cases I spray the inner fender wells beforehand with Meguiar's APC. For the wheels themselves on the face I use a Mothers Wheel...

    Collinite 845

    845 is awesome! I've used a lot of stuff over the years, but always go back to it. I typically get a good 6 months of protection out of it. The protection lasts a long time, it makes the color deeper/richer, and it shines like mad. If it's thick warm it up in the sun or under some water. You are...

    Tree sap situation on just detailed SUV

    Hi. I hope I can get some ideas here. Here's my situation... I immaculately washed my relatives SUV, clayed it, and since it only had some minor scratches I used Ultimate Compound, and lastly I put on a coat of Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax 845. I actually put a total of 3 coats on the hood...

    Proper handling of Meguiar's Microfiber Pads

    I'm about ready to get a Rupes backing plate... the idea of the pad sticking like glue sounds good to me after my experience. I uploaded 2 videos to Youtube showing my situation. I used the products as recommend, didn't exceed OPM's, used air to clean *very* frequently as recommend, etc. I don't...

    Remove lube with diluted IPA before correction step?

    I think wiping each panel with IPA would be a easier and take less time than rinsing the car off afterwards. If I did that I would have more area to dry all over again... panels, door jams, etc. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I find that priming a pad with product uses more product (of...

    Remove lube with diluted IPA before correction step?

    Hi. People have various methods and I had some questions after doing some reading. Typically... I will do my wash and of course remove all tar+bugs, clay, then use Ultimate Compound if needed, and then follow up with a LSP. I usually lightly mist (1 spray) my Megs yellow polishing...

    Help needed with leather problem

    Hi I have a leather issue with a 2009 Toyota Rav4 Limited that I hope you can help me out with. The leather wasn't trashed by any means, but it did have some areas where various dye transfers were very difficult to remove. I used various common leather cleaning products to start with...
