What have you all found to be the longest lasting liquid carnuba?

Ok I have another question on the 845. To get the most durability and shine with the 845, I was wanting to use a sealer such as the Poorboys EX I have and possibly a glaze. What would be a good process for applying the 845 and EX?



845 base

Followed by EX

Topped with 845 again



or



EX

Topped with 845

Or vise versa?





Would using both in combination decrease durability? What if I wanted to use a glaze like Red Moose or Danase, how could I include it without removing the 845 durability?

Does the 845 work well on darker colors? What do you all mean by a bright look, does it not provide the deep wet look of typical carnubas?

I didn't see this question specifically answered so I thought I'd chime in.



Here is 845 x2 topped with 1 coat of NB on my Daytona Blue 350Z:

Not sure if that was the best combination to use to get the color to pop but it did get a lot of looks. I've had just 845 on before and the look is brighter - more reflective than deep, I guess.

awesome Z love the color, 845 is deff a bright finish
 
Here is 845 on black. I can't recall for sure, but I believe I did one layer of EX-P first, and then two coats of 845.

Not to be buried - the P21S wasn't a stab in the dark. It won head and shoulders above all others in the carnauba wax section of the 46 wax test report these guys did -



Car Wax Comparison Test, 46 Car Waxes tested, graded: Save Time and Money. Paint protection film



It seemed pretty compelling when I read it back in 2004 and it produced an exceptional result on my red and black vehicles. FWIW.

Do you or anyone have the report? Have they done a report since? Im interested in the test method set up and performace.
 
Which ever Collinite product you decide to use, you can\'t make a bad choice. Personally, I prefer the 476 paste but other\'s seem to favor 845IW ... find what you like and use it often. Applied 3x layers of 476 in late Oct. , I make regular trips to the wand wash (rinse only), bucket wash in the garage when I can and 476\'s still delivering tight, round beads.



Best price I found recently for Collinite products was on Ebay and the guy was offering free shipping.
 
Thanks for the pictures, the Z and Bonnevile look great.



I think I'll go with a couple layers of 845 followed by a couple layers of Poorboys EX, that way the 845 will adhere the best. I have found that EX realy gives off nice depth and wetness. Do you all think this would be the best procedure?
 
I have a friend that uses liquid Meguiar's #26 Yellow Wax (a sleeper) and his car looks awesome. If you want to go Syn. NXT v2.0 is good. These can be bought OTC. 845 has definitly proved itself to be durable.
 
Unless things have changed, it\'s not adviseable to apply a sealant (Poorboy\'s EX) over a carnauba \'cause it won\'t bond to the paint. EX first, the 845IW would look great & last through the winter

Yes it does! It just did KAIO topped with 845 on mom's red HHR. I then topped with Zaino Z8, and it looked stunning. It was very wet and glossy!

I have the report. No updates since. Test was done on a sectioned off test hood in the back yard, I believe. Not in a lab. Had people not involved in the application look at the sections and grade the looks/beading.



As far as I know, only one test was done, so there may have been "odd circumstances" that may not have reoccurred every time if the tests were repeated.

As I recall it, they were junkyard trunk lids, not even all exactly the same color, although I think they were from the same car type. IMO, that's completely ridiculous for an "instrumented" test, when all the test panels are different ages, have different environmental exposure history, and different care...and they're not even the same color, yet you go ahead and do subjective gloss and appearance judging...but every time I bring that up I get flamed.



The right way to do it would have been to use identical test panels all painted at the same time with the same paint and then prepped the same way...call me crazy. However, I do understand if there were time or budget limitations.

Would you happen to have any completed pictures of it that you could post up? My car is the same color red that is used on it.
