I just ordered some Collinite waxes (#845 and #476s) from the Collinite Corporation in Utica, New York.



For those who don't already know, any order of $25.00 or more allows for Free shipping.



#845 - $15.15

#476s - $15.40



They where quick also, ordered Monday, here Thursday.

Just FYI. Hope it's as good as the reviews have stated here on Autopia. They sound like amazing winter waxes....
 
I ordered some 845 from parts america from a link someone posted here. I only ordered 2 bottles 10.88 per bottle. If you order over 50.00 they will ship for free, and I believe it is the old formula I received It did not say paste on it.
 
I am not an expert whatsoever. Have 2 coats of 845, and today I had first rain over my car.

:drool: :woohoo:

sweeeeeeeeeeet :)
 
Yeah, that crazy beading becomes addictive. Any other waxed car in the rain looks unwaxed, I've even thought about putting some collinite on my black leather shoes, heh...
 
I was going to take photo but you have to do it while raining, I park the car in the carage all water just rolled off :) I will get one – have to figure how :cool:

Could you post the Link for 845 at $10.88?



Thanx
 
Well everyone seems to have good things to say about these waxes!



The reason I bought it through Collinite was to support the actual makers of the wax.... and it's kinda close..... free shipping helped too. :cool:



I'm looking forward to using them! :bounce

Goose,



You won't be disappointed. Been using it for years and no matter what things I try in between I always end up back with Collinite 845 or 476.



:xyxthumbs
 
I have to agree with all of the comments -- especially the beading.



I waxed my black car with 2 coats of 845 about a month ago. I was very impressed with shine. It isn't quite as wet-looking or mirror-like to me as Meg's #26, but it is close. I washed it for the first time last weekend and was impressed at how the water raced off of the car. "Bead" doesn't even begin to describe what happens to water on an 845-waxed car. It rained last week. By the time I parked the car in the parking garage on my rainy-day commute, it was practically dry! I washed it again yesterday and was again impressed with the effect. I'm curious to how long this will last. My wife even commented on it as I was washing the car.



I'm doing my wife's red car today. I've been trying lots of stuff in the past few months and have some Meg's #21 (wanted some durability over the winter) that I wanted to put on her car to test its durability. But, my wife told me that she wanted 845 on her car! She's never taken an interest in the products before -- just the results. This time, she saw what 845 did to my car and said that she wanted 845.
 
JasonATL- I'm not surprised that your wife got so enthusiastic about the Collinite. I've found that "normal people" :D are really impressed by the beading and the way vehicles sorta "self clean" in the rain. It's a great LSP for family/friends/customers (who feel they "got their money's worth").



The in-law we gave the Volvo to never cared about waxes until she got a nicely detailed car and a bottle of 845 to keep it that way.
 
do you feel that 845 is a good topper for a sealant or do the solvents seem strong enough to remove some of a sealant?
 
Collinite waxes are awesome, they are the only waxes that last as long as a sealant.

and their 73SS is agreat one step , cleans, glazes and waxes. It comes in paste and liquid.

I don't know for sure -- I haven't tried topping a sealant with 845. However, it sure has that solvent smell and feel to it. It was the most difficult product I've had to clean out of my pads. In fact, the pad still has a bit of the solvent smell to it. I recall thinking when applying it that I doubted it would be a good topper. My feeling (again, I have no hard info here) is that it would react with or remove whatever was below it. If you try it, let us know.
 
I just applied it over chemical guys extreme top coat

everything seemed normal

how could i actually tell if it removed it?
 
I can only guess durability...if after 2-3 months the paint beads flat (without even sheeting) then the sealant was compromised. I'd call the CG and ask them...you'd think they probably tried it during testing.
