So it rained all day yesterday and as I pulled into the garage and proceeded inside the house I noticed a perfect opportunity to display the effectiveness of this great combo. I`ve been using OS since owning this vehicle, and for winter, I decided to throw on a coat of Collinite 845 IW. [Thanks to BigAl for the free sample]
Pics:
I was pretty impressed. I`m really liking the appearance and protection this combo provides.
Thanks for looking and Happy THanksgiving :waxing: ,

Did the addition of 845 change the appearance any? I`m doing my sister`s dark gray Trailblazer this weekend and was going to apply two coats of Optimum Sealant. If it doesn`t change the appearance much I will follow your lead and slap some 845 on too. Thanks in advance for your comments.

I had a dark grey Odyssey which I just sold. It looked great with OS applied. I really like the product and think that for a quick job it can`t be beat.
I haven`t tried CS so I can`t offer a comparison but the properties are the same and I`m sure it would work great.
Both products OS and 845 IW will provide good protection but the IW is probably a bit better in that regard. Just my guess though."If we weren`t all crazy..We`d all go insane" Jimmy Buffett

Thanks for all the comments! I found the beads to be rather rewarding. I`m thrilled to be apart of a forum community that appreciates the small things in life just like myself.

I would recommend this combo to anyone. I cannot comment on 845 alone as I have no experience with 845 by itself.

Thanks JJ,
I"ll be slapping some 845 over OS.
I was going to bring it to wax the wheels anyway. Your car looks terrific!
