Finally able to try something new, but it's not the wax, it's the method of application
Collinite Insulator Wax No. 845 comes in a plastic bottle with a medication type cap. I was not a huge fan so I put it in an 8oz dispensing bottle. 845 needs to be spread really thin, and it will go a long ways. After having the wax for a few months, the consistency literally went from a paste, to a liquid. Having used 845 before, I know that after I apply it and it sits, I am buffing off a good deal of residue, which is wasted product.
I grabbed a bottle from the cabinet that was empty and washed it out. After adding some 845, I screwed on a finger trigger sprayer that was used for misting hair product. After giving it a series of pumps, the wax reached the sprayer and came out in a fine mist.
Here are some images to show the process.
845 and foam applicator
One light spritz
Spreads very thin and even, was very easy to buff of with little residue
I sent an email to Collinite to inquire about the physical state of the wax and the reply from Patrick was as follows:
So far so good. Testing it in random spots on my truck. It apply super thin and removes with ease. The use of a MF over the bottle is because the hard plastic bottle and it's shape was not the easiest to grab. Instead of wrapping it in tape I am going to find another bottle that allows me to mist the 845 onto the paint in thin even layers.
