Haven't posted much, finally home for a weekend from college and its a decent day, score!

Anyways, cars been taking quite a bit of abuse from all sorts of weather sitting in a parking lot pretty much 24/7. Could have used a clay/polish but I will save that for spring time. Decided to prep it for the winter today.



Car got a coat of EX about two months ago and decided to go with Collinite 845 today.



NXT Wash

845 via PC spd 4

Finally gave me a great idea for the Endurance application. Don't know why I never tried a foam brush.



Car looks great!
 
SouthFlaGT- Yep. Usually go roof, driver/rear window, panels below roof, rear bumper, front bumper, doors.



Scott- First time using 845 on a black car and yes it definitely has a unique glow to it. Deep yet shiney. Does the look remind you of #16 too?



Mblgjr- Yea I saw them at Ocean State for like $.50 and figured I might as well try it. Turns out it works just as well as tire swipes. Definitely applies a nice thin coat. No slinging what so ever.

#16 has a more subtle glow, 845 has a really bright pop to it.



Used 845 on this Camry-

See the similarity between your car even with different lighting? #16 has a softer glow...but the gallery is down so I can't put a pic in for comparison right now.
 
Nice looking stang.....I just used #16 on my mother in-laws Lexa and it looed great (pink moose/16 combo).

Heh, I always thought 845 was about as dark and non-reflective as I can get black paint(I love 845, but not on black). One man's deep glow is another man's bright shine, I guess.



Anyways, the car looks great, really rich and wet. How long does EX typically last for you?
