FAQ'S
WHICH PRODUCT IS RECOMMENDED TO PRESERVE AND MAINTAIN A COAT OF 845?
Collinite No. 520 Mister Collins Auto Detailer gently cleans the surface while enhancing the existing wax finish. It is also infused or “insulated” with Collinite Wax protection in order to bond effectively to the wax coat. Collinite 845 can also be layered over itself if additional protection and shine are desired.
CAN 845 INSULATOR WAX BE APPLIED OVER EXISTING CERAMIC COATINGS AND PAINT PROTECTION FILM (PPF)?
Ceramic Coatings: Many professional detailers are successfully using 845 Insulator Wax as a topper for ceramic coatings. Check with the coating manufacturer whether a carnauba-polymer wax is suitable over the coating. Paint Protection Film (PPF): 845 Insulator Wax was tested successfully by the tech department at XPEL PPF.
CAN 845 BE USED EFFECTIVELY IN ITS THINNER LIQUID FORM AND ITS THICKER GEL FORM?
845 will take on a thicker gel consistency in colder temperatures and a thinner liquid consistency in warmer temperatures. The different viscosities do not alter the performance. It can be used in either form.
CAN 845 BE USED BY HAND AND WITH A DA POLISHER?
Yes. Collinite 845 Insulator Wax is Collinite’s most “machine friendly” automotive wax. A finishing pad and low speed are optimal in order to obtain professional results. By hand, a thin layer is recommended to one section at a time. With DA and by hand, microfiber towels are recommended for removal. For one midsized vehicle, 2-3 towels are suggested.
CAN 845 INSULATOR WAX BE LAYERED?
Yes. Wait a minimum of 12 hours between coats to allow the product to fully cure.

At room temperature, it is kind of like a soft paste - not a liquid, not quite a paste. It obviously changes consistency with temperature. Making sure it is shaken up well is important, as there are more than one chemical at work here. In order to do this, you need to run the bottle under warm/hot water for a little while, to turn the paste into a liquid, and then shake it to get that smooth, thick, liquid consistency we're looking for.
Once you get to that point, use it sparingly - I recommend dedicating this wax to a single applicator. I prefer the microfiber applicators from Chemical Guys over the foam applicators you can purchase. This stuff lasts a long time, so if it can lasts months on your car in the elements in a micro thin film, think about how long it's going to last on your applicator pad! It has a pleasant chemical waxxy-like smell. No frills here, it smells exactly like what it is. Hardcore wax.
Whatever it is you're waxing, be sure to use a clay bar to ensure a proper, smooth, decontaminated surface. This stuff wipes on super, super smooth, almost like spreading vaseline. It's wonderful to work with, and spreads easily. This means that less is more - I figure since I did a full size car, including wheels, and glass, and yet the bottle looks as if it hasn't even been opened yet, this stuff will last at least 50 full size rigs before you need to worry about purchasing more. And that, is something I like!
The nice thing about this is that it isn't one of these off-the-shelf products you can find at <insert superstore/auto parts store here>. If they did, it'd all fly off the shelves and it would be MONTHS before people came back for more. It lasts a long time on the vehicle, so long as the paint is in good shape before you apply it. The cleaner, smoother the paint - the better, longer lasting the shine will be.
People rave about this everywhere you go, automotive wise. It's especially popular in fall and winter, because it compliments the rainy season well. It beads water like there's no tomorrow just by itself. And since it isn't one of those products that last about a week until the next wash, it'll keep protecting your paint through the entire season. Spring time will be pretty much pure awesomesauce when you go to give your car that detail you look forward to, and your time is cut in half during the wash process because it'll probably still be working great.
Do yourself a favor and learn how to properly wax your car. If you're a nut that just loads the wax on until your car looks like the lady friend coming out of the day spa waring a mud mask? You need a little help.
Wax should go on super thin. Using more product than is necessary is simply a waste of product. You should only see a thin, light haze once the product starts to dry. Use little to no pressure when applying, just enough to spread it out over the paint. Work in circles to ensure a good, even coat. Give it 15-20 minutes for the product to 'soak in' and bond with the paint, and dry - it's easier to remove this way, and yields the best result.
Some people like to call it quits after you remove the wax, but to really give your paint that 'pop' most people look for (especially pearls & metallic paints), use either a quick detail spray such as Chemical Guys P40 or V07 as a follow up after removing your wax. This not only gives a bit more shine, it also adds another layer of protection that will lengthen the life span of your finish.
I would recommend Collinite to anybody looking for a durable, high endurance wax that is easy to apply and practically fool-proof. It is maybe a 7/10 in the 'shine' department, so if you're looking for a top of the line shine, expect to pay top of the line money. But by all means put it over the 845 so when the super spendy stuff wears off, you still have the long lasting protection from Collinite.
5 out of 5 stars because it's awesome, and everybody loves it - especially myself, since I'm the one that actually uses it. No instruction manual or Master's degree required.
Enjoy!
Update: since original post Aug. 2018, I have continued to use/compare Collinite on 2 cars and a Motorhome. Note the MH has a 4-color swirl full-body paint job popular today, no gel-coat, no decals. Colors are black, white, gold & cream. Cars are both non-metallic red, clear coated; age of vehicles range from 2010-2013, all factory original paint, all reasonably cared for over the years as daily drivers. As previously stated, it is VERY IMPORTANT that Collinite Wax be thoroughly mixed by warming gently and then shaking wildly. As with most polymer products, surface prep prior to application is paramount; these are NOT cleaners or polishes. They are surface coatings. I apply with a random orbital polisher, and very little goes a long way. Cure time is about 10-15 minutes outside of direct sun, about 70-degree temp. Removal with Griots micro-fiber cloths is easy, followed by a hand buffing with another plush micro-fiber towel. Does not leave white residue on black plastic, but I have noted on some plastics it leaves a “polished” appearance. I cannot recommend using Collinite on glass; RejeX or Griots polymers are excellent on glass.
Summary: I find Collinite to leave a water beading finish that lasts 4-6 months on a garage kept car. The shine lasts 2-3 months if you’re not real picky. I still have a slight preference for RejeX polymer due to its shine and ability to use on glass. But the Collinite is, for me, more durable. I will continue to use Collinite as a good value, better than average durability, reasonable shine.

Lo probé en un trozo del coche limpiado por encima he de decir que si no lo tienes limpio antes de aplicar no vas a poder limpiar después.
Me lleve el coche a limpiar y lo repase con un trapo dejándolo sin restos de gotas.
Le aplique el producto estando el coche en el sol esto hacia que la cera fuera rápida de estender pero a la vez se secaba rápido así que acabe haciéndolo como en la película de kárate kit.
El resultado fue bueno la verdad que al principio no parecía que hubiera hecho gran cosa pero si te vas dando cuenta que el coche refleja más y la pintura parece que este nueva.
Ahora cuando lavo el coche los mosquitos y la cargadoras de pajaro salen sin esfuerzos y ves que el agua resbala más.
