I have seen quite a few threads in the past few months where people are using Colli 845IW as a topper.
I have always felt that due to the high chemical content (solvents?) that 845IW would remove much (most) of what it is being applied over.
I know I will not use it as a topper and I am hoping to get some opinions from those of you that have a good deal of experience with 845IW to potentially assist others from reducing their objective when they use 845IW as a topper...
Let's talk.....
I usually don't layer Colly 845 over
sealants....
Never over other brands of
carnuba waxes.
The solvent content ( be it the carrier system or not) does make me wary of there being negative, adverse effects on a sealant/wax (LSPs) being used as a "base coat" for this
layering application.

4. Can Collinite Last Step Products (LSP’s) be used in conjunction with an alternative brand
sealant?
Between producing, pouring and shipping, we’ve yet to conduct testing with all the sealants out there (too lengthy to list),
so this practice cannot be formally recommended. However,
sealant + Collinite LSP layering is a common method among Collinite aficionados. Call us with specific questions or check out reliable online forums with inquiries.
To sum it up:
Some folks do....and Some folks don't!
