These pictures were actually taken a couple weeks after the fact, but I was taking some pictures for the Bonneville forum, so I figured I would throw up a few here. I did a Menzerna Micropolish followed by two coats of EX-P and one coat of 845IW. Another layer will follow in another month, and she'll be good to go until spring.

nice work!cant wait to try that 845 on my black car!cheers!
 
If you like 845 you will love 915
Years ago Collintie was one of the few products that would last all or most of the winter.
 
Looks very good Grimm. I have yet to try 845. I like the way 915 looks but it's not the easiest product to take off.
 
Looks like you're all set for a Michigan winter.
 
Everyone talks about how great 845 is for lasting the whole winter, does anyone down here in south fla use it to last through our rainy season?

Absolutely! Just wait til you see the water falls off your car after using 845. It keeps itself clean:) The beading is quite nice as well.....some of the best I've seen.

Thanks for the comments!

As for the beading, here is a shot I took after I finished washing to show the great beading. Just look at the water flooding off the hood.

I typically use the 845 on the boats that I detail. I have not used it on any cars yet but looking at this I might just have to start. I do have to say that it sure does leave a slick finish, to the point that I almost fell out of the last boat that I used this on.

Gary, Try putting it on super thin on a warm day and it will fall right off :D

I always put it on as thin as possible and I live in south Florida so it's always warm if not hot. It never comes off easy compared to the other paste waxes I use. It does look very good and lasts.
 
I have never found it easy to remove either. The longevity of it has made up for that however when mine runs out, I'll be using DG 601/105 combo with AW periodically.
 
I just used the 845 on my Element and it was easy to remove and I let it sit for about 20 min only the side that I left my lights on was a little harder to remove but not bad. My only complaint is that min seperated and it was very hard to shake up.
 
Heck, the 845 is so easy, that when I applied it I was short on time and had to pick up my kids. So I left it on there and buffed it off when I got home at least a half hour later. But it wasn't hot.
 
Looking good there man! I LOVE 845, its simply awesome for winter-time. I just my girlfriends Explorer with DG 601/105 last weekend, and will be topping it with a few coats of 845 in the coming weeks to act as the "sacrificial barrier". Thanks for sharing those awesome pics!
