I haven't used many products yet. When I first started, I bought meguiars sealant 21, megs carnuba paste wax and megs ultimate paste wax.

I bought collinite the other day. I don't care for the consistency. Are most liquid waxes that thin, watery
 
Coli 845 is thin.....just wait till it sits for a little bit......it will be thick thick.....
I will tell you that 845 is great stuff.....and the durability is great! You won't be disappointed.

Aplply thin......thin is in but thinner is a winner!
 
Don't you have to shake the heck out of it? Like this and something about putting it in warm/hot water?

Been wanting to get 845 actually, but I have so many waxes now. I can probably pass them on to my children lol
 
It looked thick then got real runny when I shook it up. Its hard to apply thin on a silver car. I can't see anything going on
 
I did buy it. First impression is that I don't care for how runny it is. I'll read the thread bob told me to read tomorrow
 
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 suppose to put it on thin like everything else. Too much and you are wasting product with no added benefit, and making removal more difficult. Below is a relatives vehicle that I recently did with 845. I'm not the best photographer so these photos don't do it justice, but in person... WOW! Liquid metal!

Yo, Art...that second video is absolutely hilarious yet useful at the same time. In kinda that "lazy American ingenuity" way!

OP, there's a good post from AG (Nick maybe?) on the definitive 845 guide here recently.

Edit: whoops, you are asking about it's thinness and the how to from AG is basically how to get it thin. Apply it thin and if you have any doubts about coverage do a second, equally thin layer.

I used collinite 845 the other day on my car. It is hard to do it thin. But once you get a hang of it you can tell how thick it's going on.

I keep my bottle in the basement and it goes through it's seasons. I actually consider the milky-thin consistency a plus

845 with P21S applicators go together very well. The rubber pad doesn't absorb much product which leaves you with 1/4" of foam pad that simply needs to remain "wet" as you are applying 845 across your paint. I no longer spend much time looking to see if I covered the paint. I look at the foam pad and check for moisture, and a few drops will recharge the foam.
 
Because the product is so thin and you apply so little at any time, I'll use a DA with a black or blue LC Flat Pad. I've found using a DA it apply less product and it goes on much more even.

As mwoolfso mentioned I just put a few drops on the pad. As I go around the vehicle more product is absorbed and I actually need fewer drops each time. On my small hatchback, I've found I often don't need to apply any new product to the pad when I get to the back of the car.
