Collinite 845 Insulator Wax-Easy to Use Carnauba+Polymer Wax Sealant-High Gloss Shine+Durable Hydrophobic Beading & Long Lasting Paint Protection for Cars/Boats/Trucks/RVs & Motorcycles (16 fl oz)

I think Collinite 845 is the best car wax out there. I certainly have not tried them all but I am done looking. The depth of shine and long term protection it provides is awesome. I live in Nebraska. One wax in the spring and a second waxing before winter and my cars are good. Look great and bead water until the next waxing. Application is easy and removal is also easy as long as you don’t let it sit too long on the paint.

While it might not be the most expensive (nor the cheapest) wax money can buy, it possesses a HUGE bang for the buck. At room temperature, it is kind of like a soft paste - not a liquid, not quite a paste. It obviously changes consistency with temperature. Making sure it is shaken up well is important, as there are more than one chemical at work here. In order to do this, you need to run the bottle under warm/hot water for a little while, to turn the paste into a liquid, and then shake it to get that smooth, thick, liquid consistency we're looking for. Once you get to that point, use it sparingly - I recommend dedicating this wax to a single applicator. I prefer the microfiber applicators from Chemical Guys over the foam applicators you can purchase. This stuff lasts a long time, so if it can lasts months on your car in the elements in a micro thin film, think about how long it's going to last on your applicator pad! It has a pleasant chemical waxxy-like smell. No frills here, it smells exactly like what it is. Hardcore wax. Whatever it is you're waxing, be sure to use a clay bar to ensure a proper, smooth, decontaminated surface. This stuff wipes on super, super smooth, almost like spreading vaseline. It's wonderful to work with, and spreads easily. This means that less is more - I figure since I did a full size car, including wheels, and glass, and yet the bottle looks as if it hasn't even been opened yet, this stuff will last at least 50 full size rigs before you need to worry about purchasing more. And that, is something I like! The nice thing about this is that it isn't one of these off-the-shelf products you can find at <insert superstore/auto parts store here>. If they did, it'd all fly off the shelves and it would be MONTHS before people came back for more. It lasts a long time on the vehicle, so long as the paint is in good shape before you apply it. The cleaner, smoother the paint - the better, longer lasting the shine will be. People rave about this everywhere you go, automotive wise. It's especially popular in fall and winter, because it compliments the rainy season well. It beads water like there's no tomorrow just by itself. And since it isn't one of those products that last about a week until the next wash, it'll keep protecting your paint through the entire season. Spring time will be pretty much pure awesomesauce when you go to give your car that detail you look forward to, and your time is cut in half during the wash process because it'll probably still be working great. Do yourself a favor and learn how to properly wax your car. If you're a nut that just loads the wax on until your car looks like the lady friend coming out of the day spa waring a mud mask? You need a little help. Wax should go on super thin. Using more product than is necessary is simply a waste of product. You should only see a thin, light haze once the product starts to dry. Use little to no pressure when applying, just enough to spread it out over the paint. Work in circles to ensure a good, even coat. Give it 15-20 minutes for the product to 'soak in' and bond with the paint, and dry - it's easier to remove this way, and yields the best result. Some people like to call it quits after you remove the wax, but to really give your paint that 'pop' most people look for (especially pearls & metallic paints), use either a quick detail spray such as Chemical Guys P40 or V07 as a follow up after removing your wax. This not only gives a bit more shine, it also adds another layer of protection that will lengthen the life span of your finish. I would recommend Collinite to anybody looking for a durable, high endurance wax that is easy to apply and practically fool-proof. It is maybe a 7/10 in the 'shine' department, so if you're looking for a top of the line shine, expect to pay top of the line money. But by all means put it over the 845 so when the super spendy stuff wears off, you still have the long lasting protection from Collinite. 5 out of 5 stars because it's awesome, and everybody loves it - especially myself, since I'm the one that actually uses it. No instruction manual or Master's degree required. Enjoy!

I believe this to be the best wax out there. I’ve been using this now for about eight years. It lasts through just about everything here in Northeast Ohio, I only have to use that one time and that’s usually in May or June. Through the rest of the year it beads up amazingly when there is rain, I could take it through car washes during the winter months and it is still lasting. It’s the only thing that I will truly use on any of my cars. It goes on very easily and comes off without leaving any type of haze on your paint. I do know that after no use for awhile it gets a little clumpy on the inside, the remedy is just to soak the bottle in hot water. Let it stay in there a couple minutes. It does loosen up the wax and shake the bottle and it’s good to go.

Good day, Absolutely love this product (845), I have straight away multiple times trying other products and always come back to it. It is very easy to put on very easy to rub in love the wet look and depth (a properly prepared paint surface really adds to the look) it lasts depending on number of washes and type of wash products used, anywhere up to three plus months with good shine, after that begins to lose some of that hydrophobic protection, but still looks good. Again, great product, even with all of the different types of coating available (and I have tried a ton of them) include ceramics, which are very expensive require much more prep work, they do look beautiful, but still need maintenance after you put them on. I still look add things like how easy it goes on, the cost, and how much I enjoy the way it looks when evaluating what I put on my vehicle. Like I’ve said I’ve tried just about everything out there and I keep coming back to the 845. Will continue to use it and it always gets me compliments on how great the finish looks!! Hope this helps use it. You won’t be disappointed. Maurice

I used to run an auto detail business, and used many different brands of waxes, sealants, polishes, Turtle Waxes, and this is the best I've ever used. Period. Full stop. I was very disappointed with my NuFinish Ceramic purchase, as it's very difficult to apply, so I bought this. This is hands down the easiest, quickest, no streak, product ever. Use a very small amount, let dry thirty seconds, wipe off, and you're done. But the shine!! I don't know what's in this stuff, but it's the deepest, wettest, looking shine I've ever found. And on Chrome, good grief! It make metal trim look 3D, better than new. It's not a fancy bottle, not a brand name, but it performs absolutely flawlessly. Buy it! You'll be glad you did.

Uso Collinite 845 Insulator Wax da tempo e posso dire che è una di quelle cere che non passano mai di moda, anzi: più passa il tempo, più capisci perché è diventata storica. La durata è eccezionale: resiste bene a pioggia, sporco e lavaggi, cosa non scontata per una cera che mantiene un’anima così tradizionale. La protezione è reale, non solo estetica. Va scaldata un po’ prima dell’uso (basta acqua calda), ma una volta liquida si stende facilmente e si rimuove senza fatica. Ne basta pochissima: una bottiglia dura una vita.

Brilliant product. I had tried autogylm, meguiars. However this was the easiest to apply and got a mirror like finish. Tip. Pre Soak the bottle in hot water and shake well.

Einfach genial. Super leicht aufzutragen, unter 1 Stunde fuer ganze Auto, super ergiebig, fuer die A- Klasse nur 2cm aus der bottle verbraucht, Auto ist schwarz und 15 Jahre alt und Lack strahlt wie Spiegel und noch "tieferes" Schwarz. Nach jetzt ueber einem Monat unverändert brillant, abperlend und ohne Widerstand beim Fingerstest. Und bei der Ergiebigkeit relativiert sich der Flaschenpreis schnell, reicht dann fuer 2 bis 3 Jahre. Klarer Tipp von mir!!

Great wax Normally I use Collinite 476, however, fancied trying this with a machine polisher. Do recommend warming this up prior to using it so that It can be shook up a bit and re mixed. Went on really easily probably used too much of the stuff though. Buffed off remarkedly easy compared to 476 does. Let's see how long it lasts before it needs reapplying. Only thing I would like to see improved is a different lid so you can apply blobs without having to remove the whole lid edit* As a heads up I have now got a pull up hand soap lid which fits perfectly allowing you to spot it easier Also I did this on a cold day with no issues, so don't let the UK autumnal weather stop you.. Main issue is good prep before applying is a must I polished with Autoglym super resin before hand and buffed off Update. Been a week or so now and still beads incredibly well, water blows off easily when driving the car.

Personnellement je fais baigner le tube de cire dans un bac d'eau chaude pour réduire la solidification du produit se trouvant à l'intérieur. Je secoue en vérifiant que le produit soit suffisamment liquide et j'attaque l'étalage. Je laisse poser 5 minutes et je passe une microfibre de qualité pour retirer l'excédent. Pas besoin de beaucoup de quantité pour une voiture de catégorie 3 type C4 2015. . A renouveler dans 3 mois. Livraison impeccable.
