Wow 845

Nice job. I wish there were pics here so we can see the deep wet look. That said, in the future if you know you are going to polish then you don't need the "cleaner/wax" step. Also, as for the cleaner/wax step itself.... if you know you will be topping the car with 845 then consider using a dedicated pre-wax cleaner ( sans wax ) or polish (like you did with the DG )

Since it contains carnauba why would someone top it with more carnauba? I've been on these, and other detailing forums, a long time and have never heard of anyone topping #845 with another carnauba. It seems rather pointless to me to top the longest lasting wax with a lesser wax that will be gone in a very short time.

I'm sorry I didn't mean another wax.. I was asking about a spray detailer or the quick waxes to just keep it looking great after washes.. Sorry I shoulda been more specific

Does anyone have an opinion on using 845 on chrome exhaust tips after polishing? I'm wondering if the heat would cause it to melt right off.

I'm aware of other products like RejeX that are recommended for exhaust tips, but RejeX requires 12 hours to cure and it's not always possible to wait 12 hours before using a vehicle.

After some more research to test my theory I am updating my response. Give Collinite a call and see what they say. Some waxes may flash off due to low melting points in the 150-200 degree F range. A synthetic paint sealer or Collinite 850 may be the trick for you.

I checked Collinite's website and their technical specs don't indicate the melting point. But giving this a little more thought, it seems obvious that most waxes and sealants would flash off with high temps. If you were prepping a showroom car for display it might make sense to add something after the polish. But for regular vehicles that are driven, adding something to the exhaust tips after the polish is probably just a waste of effort and product.
