Collinite 845 question

[Ryry11]

Is there any specific amount of time to wait in between coats of 845? It's not a sealant so I assumed there isn't, but just wanna make sure. I apply one coat, wait 30 seconds to a minute, then buff off. Can I go right to a second coat as soon as the first is buffed?

I would wait a day before applying a second coat, as Colly has a lot of solvents and will probably remove most of the first layer if applied to soon.

it doesn't answer your question, but if you haven't read it yet there's lot of great info about c845 in here http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...e-845-definitive-how-guide-legendary-wax.html

I have done back to back coats and also waited 24 hrs. I personally can't tell a difference for longevity wise. The reason for waiting is to let the solvents evaporate out of the first coat. I don't know if they need to or not. So most of the time I marathon wax it back to back with no wait time. I wax each section and remove each section till the entire car is done, then repeat for second coat. So my wait time is approx 30min-60min between coats.

Cool thnx guys, I rotated my tires today and cleaned the barrels real good and applied two pretty heavy coats back to back for the winter, and I just wondered if there was any recommended setup time

The Collinite book says 8-12 hours of cure time.

I can not see any difference in applying 1 or 2 coats .. looks wise and durability.

Many times the 2nd coat is just to make sure you did not miss any spots.....I get better durability with 2 coats, but now use blackfire wet diamond instead. It's better in my eyes....
