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)

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'm pretty retentive about my vehicles and cleaning them, hopefully, you can see in the pics. I was turned on to this combo (this with Jescar Power Lock) from a detailing friend of mine. I did some research, watched some videos, and thought id roll the dice. Glad I did. I started small with my son's car (the black dodge) I wanted to test it on black...easy on, easy off, if done in the right conditions. No swirls or leftover residue. Super thick when you get it so lay it in some warm water for a few minutes to break up the carnauba and then shake the heck out of it, often. It's a screw-on top so like others have said get a squirt bottle if that's what you are used to. I used it straight from the bottle. Moved over to my Ram and the same results...silky smooth shine. I applied a nice coat before winter here in Illinois and it lasted most of the winter...this spring I stripped it all off and started again. these pics are from Last fall right before winter. I done both of my daily rider show bikes in the combo as well. Perfect results. 5 stars from me and really glad I found the combo!

Works great. But is very thick if temps are chilly. Warm up by sitting in the sun for about 20 minutes before applying and it will be easier to apply. Lasts a long time.

I've been into detailing for about two years now.. I detail my own cars only.. I've used many waxes and found this to be superior to the rest. I used this recently on my white 2016 bmw. I reccomend using this wax by hand, with a pinnacle foam applicator. If it's cold out, out the collinite in a warm bucket for about 10 minutes so that it turns into a liquid. I use alot more of this product then people say.. I apply it very liberally. Do not polish in circles, try left to right on the desired panel.. i apply the wax to the entire car, then i buff it off with a high quality microfiber towel. (Try 350 gsm Korean microfiber) the great thing about the wax is the water beading.. it really works great, also the wax adds a pretty good shine. When you remove the wax, it does not create dust and is pretty easy to remove, one of the easiest in my opinions. This is now my go to wax.. last thought, make sure you clay bar your paint before applying any type of wax, unless your car doesnt need it.. clay bars are not hard to use.. watch a few YouTube videos and you will be fine. Just make is sure there is plenty of lubricant on the paint before clawing. Dont use water, use a clay Lube or spray wax that comes with the clay.Any questions let me know, i dont leave many reviews, but was very happy with this product.

Amazing stuff…easy on, easy off. Spend on very thinly…a little goes a long way. Watch drying time. Price is a bargain as one container will wax many vehicles. Pleasure to use.
