Collinite 845 Over Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0

Would I be able to top WGDGPS 3.0 with Collinite 845 or would that have adverse effects? Reason I was thinking of doing this was because of what I`ve read about the looks and durability of WGDGPS and the fact that it is a sealant, while the Collinite 845 is more of a wax. I like the how hydrophobic 845 is as well, from a video comparison I saw, it seems to repel water more than the Wolfgang sealant. Basically, I want the look of the WGDGPS with the hydrophobic properties of the Collinite 845.

Here`s the videos I saw


 
The colli is a hybrid I believe. VERY bullet proof.

I would say yes but it may interfere with the WG. But still don`t see a problem with it.

The videos you posted are by one of our members "Loach", so you may want to reach out to him and ask.
 
As a user and fan of both products, I understand your desire to have them both work in tandem to achieve the best of both worlds.i would just caution you to let the WG cure for a few days. 845 has a high solvent content, and may disrupt the sealant.

Having said that, I think WGDGPS is so good, it doesn`t need anything else. In fact, when I top it, I use things like DoDo Rainforest Rub or Lusso Oro - things to enhance beauty (maybe) moreso than performance.
 
Thanks for the replies!

I remember reading how durable 845 is. Definitely a great selling point as well. I shouldn`t have a problem giving the WG time to fully cure and set. I can apply the WG, leave the car in the garage for a week (car isn`t a daily) and then apply the Colli 845 if need be.

That`s great! Small world, I`ll search for his username and send him a link to this thread.

I have no doubts the WG sealant is extremely durable with great appearance etc. I know how hydrophobic an LSP may be, isn`t necessarily a measure of it`s protective abilities. The only thing I wish the WGDGPS had more of was the hydrophobic characteristics like the Collinite. That would probably make it perfect. Aside from me just being a sucker for the crazy beading, I like the idea of how easy it would be to blow dry the entire car with a product like 845 on it.
 
I have been using that combination for well over a year on my Ram 1500`s. I let the sealant "cure" for at least 24 hours before I apply the Collinite 845. I have had great success with the combination. I apply this combination about once every 6 months and the truck is not a daily driver and it is garaged so I am not sure about the longevity under other circumstances. I have now changed products and my thinking since I recently was schooled by Brandt from 512 detailing--Thanks Brandt, I think. LOL

Good to know that it will work. What product did you switch to and how was your thinking changed? Share your newly acquired knowledge and thinking lol.

Jay I thought of you when I saw this post. Figured you would catch it eventually and comment

and to the OP--- I have never received a vehicle in better condition than Jay`s truck! which was still beading like crazy after iron remover

definitely had to polish that stuff off,haha

I`d say your OP combo is a go! But I`m just a hack :notme:

Wow, nice! Just read the thread, I enjoyed that read. So Jay, I guess you`re a believer now in the coatings. From the pics, your ram looked absolutely outrageous! Super glossy with crazy clarity! How would you say the appearance compared to that of the WG/Collinite combo? At least now I know that the combo does work, but after reading that thread, the wheels in my head are now turning as well. That looked incredible.
 
I think the coating has a little more gloss and depth. I think the Essence polish also helped prep the surface. And last but not least---Brandt knows what the hell he`s doing----even while babysitting an old guy. When you have the right equipment and the right products and the knowledge, the results are outstanding.

That`s good to know. The coating is sounding like a good idea right about now. I have M105 and M205, but I just bought Menzerna products I`ve been wanting to try to get the paint perfect. I got FG400 coming, SF3500 (SF4000) and SF3800(SF4500) to squeeze every last bit of clarity and gloss out of the paint.

I`m gonna be taking my sweet time when I do this. I could do a few panels a day and really take my time doing it as perfectly as I possibly can.
 
The big question for me that I can`t answer is how DGPS holds up to being topped with 845 with its solvent content as WaxAddict mentions. 845 won`t have trouble bonding on top of DGPS but I`m not sure if you`ll see a gloss benefit of the duo compared to just one by itself. Gloss measuring has always been a weakness of my tests, both the blue and the silver test cars are great at hiding any differences in depth and gloss between products. I`m like you though, if 845 was as effortless and worry-free to work with as DGPS, or if DGPS had the water behavior of 845, then that would be the perfect sealant. Don`t count out FK1000P as well, or there`s always a quick application of Brilliant Shine Detailer if you`re really wanting to send beads flying at lightspeed with the blower.

You want some insane Water shedding/hydrophobic properties, try some Kamikaze Overcoat. Not 100% sure but methinks DGPS would fall under the polymer coating group.
