That's not really ultimately the purpose of these products, they are fore-mostly made to protect.
I think that's what you said, I just said it in a different way is all.
my first time using collinite 845

So I want to detail a new boat trailer in a couple of weeks. It is red and wondering if there would be any advantage to topping off the BFWD that I already have on hand with the Collonite 845 Insulator? BF is what I have been using on my vehicles past couple of years and it seems to give good protection and longevity so I'm up in the air about ordering additional products.
I was under the impression that with some products that if you top them off you are just removing that product in the process of applying the second one??

I have both the 476s and the 845 Insulator and the 476s IS a lot more difficult to use by machine anyway. When I tried to apply the 476s to my polishing pad and started applying it to the car, it wanted to make the pad collapse and become a really compressed mess...kind of like what UPW did with my finishing pads. The 'fix' for that was to move to a firmer polishing pad for application. So in this case does it mean that I should use an even firmer cutting pad to apply the 476s? Not that I'm dissatisfied with the 845 of course.
Did you follow the the guidelines on the 476 product page on the AG website?
I am getting ready to apply 476 via machine, so curious...

last night i worked on my 69 charger
did a wash (didnt dry the car)
then used a clay bar with mothers show time as a lube
washed the car again when i was done with the clay bar
dried
waxed 2 coats of collinite 845
My question is .....i waited about 10 min between collinite coats.
Too soon? doesnt matter?
each coat was left on for roughly 15 min to dry to a haze Feed back please

I just wanted to chime in and say I used 476 a few weeks ago. It was my first experience with any Collinite products so I cannot compare to others but I thought it was extremely easy to use. I don't know why it gets a bad rap from people about being difficult to remove. I applied using a foam applicator pad to a couple of panels at a time and then went back and starting buffing off. It always came off without much problem at all. It was way easier to get off than some of the cheap OTC carnuba waxes I used growing up before I knew what good wax was. Based on what I read on the board, I let it sit for 12+ hours after the first coat and topped with a second. The beading is incredible!

I talked with a Tech Guy over @ Collonite and he said for the best results, to let the first coat cure for 12-18 hours then apply a second coat. So I said "ROGER" and proceeded to get blown away!
Of course, this was after 2 bucket wash/clay/paint correct/and Menz Power Lock.
From the shell and the feel of the paint, I'm thinking she would survive a limited engagement Thermo-Nuclear War.
hope it helps

I use 845 on my Jeep too (just for the wheels and roof). Rest of my Jeep SRT8 is now protected with FK1000p (like it even more than 845).

I am a complete rookie and have used 845 twice. First time by hand and the second with a DA as explained on AG website.
By hand is a complete PITA and took forever to wipe off. The DA and the second time using it was golden. By far the best results and ease of use was spectacular. This is my choice from now on.

Really, how did you go about doing it?
It was less than a breeze for me to apply...took no longer than 10 minutes...took less than that wiping it off. How long did you wait to wipe it off? Finger Swipe?
I find it more difficult to fold my t-shirts.
I Used a MF applicator, probably put in on too thick and the wiping off took a long time to get it all off. I clearly am an idiot if you can do a car in 10-15 minutes. It took me at least 45 or more to do a very small car.
Way less time and went on way thinner with a primed pad on the Machine. Removal time was also quicker but still way longer than 10 minutes.
