Customer Rating: Summary: #845 is a great wax Comment: The Collinite waxes are known are the most durable carnauba waxes one can buy. 845 is the most popular of the Collinite brands, and it's easy to see why. In its liquid form it is very easy to apply and easy to remove (just follow directions). The bottle needs to be shaken and shaken. Eventually it will become a milky, oily solution. Apply THIN. You don't need much to do your car. Wait for it to haze and then buff off. If you are looking for maximum durability, apply a second coat, waiting a minimum of 30-60 minutes. Some folks prefer to wait 12-24 hours between coats.
Most carnauba waxes last 4-8 weeks. With 845 plan on getting 3-4 months!
And it looks very good--a nice wet look. My Honda roadster has been getting many compliments.
For the money, this may well be the best carnauba wax on the market. It certainly is the most durable.
Oh, one more thing. It smells lousy. I don't notice it so much when applying the wax, but the solvent smell is very noticeable when cleaning up one's applicator pad afterwards. I soak the pad in Dawn for several hours. Customer Rating: Summary: You let the secret out Comment: He is not kidding. I found this wax at Captn Andy's in Boca Raton when I bought my sloop in 1987. It will last about a year in Florida sun and salt water. Then I used it on my Hobie Cat before I sold it to rejuvenate the finish which had been neglecetd for 3 years. I got top dollar for the cat. I have used it on all my cars ever since. This stuff shines as well as anything I have used and lasts better than anything I have ever seen. I am tempted to try the 476 paste wax but this is so easy to use and I cannot imagine the 476 can last THAT much longer. Although not its intended purpose, I have put a buffing pad on a drill and ground it into the finish and skipped the cleaning step. NOT recommended, YMMV. (Although I may try it again) Customer Rating: Summary: best wax out there Comment: if you are serious about putting a strong durable coat of wax on your car with easy on easy off application then this is the wax for you. the secret wax of boat owners (yes it stands up to an entire season of exposure to salt water)it may cost a little more, but it goes a long way and is well worth the initial extra buck you spend. it does build up in the cracks, but if you are serious about car(truck) care, you already know how to handle that. talk to any serious detailer or reputable body shop owner and you will discover this is the wax of the professionals. they don't want you to use it because it does not come off easily if they have to do any paint repairing. here's to the shine on your finish.
