Today I used my Collinite #845 for the first time since last November. I shook the bottle well and I opened the cap and the wax was very thick at the top of the bottle. I dug that part out with my finger & put it on my pad. I go to apply more to my pad and the stuff just pours out. The rest of the bottle was almost as thin as water. I went ahead & used it anyway, and it seemed to work fine. I sprayed some water from a spray bottle onto the car & nice beads formed. Anyone else ever have this problem with their Collinite?

on the bottle it says may seperate in heat, so i dunno. maybe the cap wasnt on tight and the top dried out a bit?

The stuff in the lid would never go completely to liquid for me when it solidifies. I usually use my finger and put it into the main bottle to reshake and pour. I just accepted it as completely normal :)



Its supposed to be like water after you shake it. So be careful next time, its good stuff you don`t want to waste ;)

845 is some weird alien material...when you get it it`s like solid and won`t come out of the bottle and then you shake it like forever and it turns to a liquid and stays that way. I think it`s from Roswell.

LOL, yup! Looooove that alien tech! Every time I go to Harbor Freight, I go by the 845 just to turn a few of the solid bottles into liquid.

I know this a bad but I did it once and got some free bottles. I asked one of the guys on the floor if the bottle was bad, since they were runny and it was supposed to be paste. He looked at me funny and started to take them off the shelf. I told him if he was going to throw them away I would take them and see if I could use them. I got four free bottles. I know my Karma level dropped that day.

Alright, I guess this is normal for 845.



The first time I ever used it, it was thick & kind of had the consistency of snot. lol



I`ve just never seen a product that would change consistency so drastically like that.

i got 3 bottles of 845 from HF and they were all kind of solid and had the stuff at the top. I just shook them like crazy for a while and it turned into more of a liquid
