Collinite 845 IW, pleasantly surprised!

845 IW ("Insulator Wax"), collinite probably also made pulling lubricant but I would assume it is a different product.

How does it look by itself? When you applied it, did you have the rmg and NB on it or did you start clean?



No the rmg and nb were still on it one week old. I do not know how it looks by itself... I also dont think I will ever know how it looks without a glaze underneath, I love glazes and will never go back to not using them.
 
Update: it seems now that the RMG has worn off (2 weeks and 2 washes with many QDings in-between) the 845 has lost it's depth, darkness, and wetness.



Its definitely still there, during the wash today the water basically fell off the car by itself more than when I use other products. But the look isn't there.



Maybe what I should do is use 845 for protection and then top it with a beauty wax for looks.
 
I like 845 but I don't love it. Really wet shine, great on light colors and metallics but a little 'bright' for my tastes on dark, solid colors , plus after 3 months on a Hummer it was getting a little grabby. I know I am in the minority here but I prefer #16.



Maybe 845 topped with Natty's might get you what you want, Ron.
 
I'm lazy and I love 845 for the fact that I only need to apply bi-annually. I've been using the FK 425 QD to keep the dust off and give it that nice shine.

Same general observation/opinion here. Not knocking the 845 though, and #16 is getting so scarce that I don't even recommend it any more.
