Review on Collinite 845 Insulator Wax

[akimel]

Remember that Collinite puts the "born on date" on their products. The one I bought today was from earlier this year...

Where? I`m looking at my bottle of 845 and my tin of 476, and I do not see a date anywhere.

Ok i picked up some 845 and have used it a few times but notice the package is different than what some have posted

here is mine



here is someone elses





now mine doesnt say clear coat safe or for automotive is it the same stuff?

It`s both on the bottom of the tin and of the plastic 845 bottle on mine...

i could be wrong, but i think the bottle you have that says "paste wax" is the pre-voc version before they re-formulated it to what it is now shown in the second pic next to the 476s...

Yep i checked the date on the bottom 2007, will it cause any harm to clearcoats?

i wouldn`t worry about it, you`ll be fine...

Thanks, sadly i just read the thread...oops should have done that first. thanks for the responses though.



I have been very impressed with this stuff, I have used it on three vehicles. I did my truck almost a months ago and still shins like i just waxed it

Old post, but 845 and 476 are currently on clearance at my Harbor Freight...

Sitting right between two equals...NuFinish and TW cleaner wax! :lol

Looking for some opinions about what should go on first, 476 or 845 I only read one response so far and was just curious as to what everyone else would reccomend.



I figured it was a good idea to bump this old thread and add it to this because of all the information in it.

476 for durability hands down, as if this thread needs a bump, lol.

On the principle that the most durable product should be the protective foundation, I would apply 476 first and top it with 845; but I think I recall reading a comment by Accumulator stating that he had had better luck applying 845 first and topping it with 476. Interesting.

The 845 has a lot more solvent in it, so I can see the concern of dissolving the 476 base.

Just though I`d throw this in here. I washed and clay bared my hood. I waxed four different sections. I used CMW, PNB, NXT 2, and Collinte 845. I`m going on 3.5 months (with salt on the roads now). The NB is barely beading anymore and appears to be mostly gone. All the rest still are beading great. I thought NXT2 would be the first to go. I guess not.

I have been very happy with the 845, I have three coats on my truck and now a little over a month with rain and multiple washes this is how my hood looked yesterday in the rain
