Collinite 845 Insulator Wax, 473 ml, white

Great wax Normally I use Collinite 476, however, fancied trying this with a machine polisher. Do recommend warming this up prior to using it so that It can be shook up a bit and re mixed. Went on really easily probably used too much of the stuff though. Buffed off remarkedly easy compared to 476 does. Let's see how long it lasts before it needs reapplying. Only thing I would like to see improved is a different lid so you can apply blobs without having to remove the whole lid edit* As a heads up I have now got a pull up hand soap lid which fits perfectly allowing you to spot it easier Also I did this on a cold day with no issues, so don't let the UK autumnal weather stop you.. Main issue is good prep before applying is a must I polished with Autoglym super resin before hand and buffed off Update. Been a week or so now and still beads incredibly well, water blows off easily when driving the car.

This is by far the very best wax that I have come across in the last 20 years. This has left my cars looking the very best that they can look. The water simply beads off the cars. The amount of protection that this gives more than makes up for the cost of the product. A truly wonder product. First and foremost you must do this on a warm (certainly not a cold|) day. The bodywork must NOT be cold. Make sure that the Collinite is warm as well. Hold the bottle of wax on your hands and roll it between your hands to make sure that it is warm. Shake the bottle vigorously to mix all the wax into the fluid.Open the bottle and if you see any wax around the top of the bottle, close the bottle and shake until it has been mixed into the fluid. Once you are happy that the wax has been mixed fully into the fluid, then pour a SMALL amount onto a microfibre cloth. Gently rub this onto the paintwork. I use a clockwise then anti clockwise motion. Cover one panel at a time. When the Collinite starts to go hazy then use a microfibre cloth to polish the panel. Then I use a completely clean microfibre to give it a final polish. You only need a small amount of Collinite at a time. If you want then repeat the process and give the car two coats or more. I keep a small micro fibre cloth only for the Collinite, this has become impregnated with the Collinite and so I use even less now. After applying a few times the Collinite builds up on the car. Cleaning becomes easier as the dirt simply hoses off. now I simply hose the car, dry it and put Collinite on a few panels. Then the next time it put it onto some off the other panels. It is so much quicker and easier to clean the cars now. Over a period of time the panel get more and more protection and the look gets better and better. As I have said before for the best results use on a warm day and make sure the Collinite is warm as well, and shake the Collinite well to mix in the wax. Do this and you will impress your self with the results. I hope this helps with your choice.

I love this wax for ease of use, the quality and finished product. It doesn't take long for me to go over the whole of my car as it goes on very thin to achieve excellent results. Watched plenty of YouTube videos on this 845 and was impressed enough to try this as my main liquid wax. It will last a long time as you don't need to use much per panel as applying too much just means you are wasting it and making it harder for yourself to buff off. As an update, after layering this wax I have seen a massive improvement in the depth of shine on the paintwork and the clarity is fantastic as you can see from the photos. This is a dream to work with as it glides across the paintwork with ease as you only need a thin layer on each panel to achieve excellent results. It's also very easy to buff off as long as you stick to the system of thin layers! I've used this on everything all over the car with it all ending up shining like new, well, very close! I won't change from this wax now as it is absolutely superb.

I have just run out of this, 18 months after purchase. It is very good, easy to apply and buff off and gives a good shine. I'm not sure the effect lasts as long as it should but as you don't use much each time, I guess it's cost effective as you can get many waxes out of one bottle. I have just bought some Autosmart Carnauba Gold wax instead (third of the price) which is good. Harder to apply and get off but leaves a great shine. I will probably buy more Collinite 845 because it is so easy to use. It all depends on how long the new stuff stays on for and continues to 'bead' as I'm not concerned that it's harder to use. If I don't have a lot of time, I'll use Collinite. If I do, I'll use the Autosmart Carnauba Gold. Simple. Some reviewers say they will never use anything else again, but I think it's good to try different products as modern waxes are fabulous and getting better all the time, and different products have different qualities and uses.

Fantastic product. It's incredible that it has been going for so long and it wasn't until recently that I found out about it. It made my silver SUV shine as it was covered in glass. Superb finish, super easy to apply by hand and buff off, in this case I use Ryobi's orbital wireless buffer, another fantastic buy. I first polished the car with Autoglym Super Resin polish then applied Collinite. I left the bottle submerged in warm water whilst I did the polishing. The wax comes out easily and it was like applying a coat of oily wax on the car. It can go on any exterior surface. Leave to dry for a few minutes and buff it off. The depth of shine is unparalleled. I'm definitely sticking to it from now on and hope this will give enough protection for 3-4 months until it needs a second coat and I think I can then keep the polishing to once or twice a year maximum. Consider buying the Dustbuster Wheel Wax and sealant, it's another great product.

I should start by pointing out that the instructions make no mention of this, but it's essential - you really must leave the bottle half submerged in warm water for five minutes, until it liquefies and then give it a really good shake and you're good to go! A little really does go a long way when it comes to this product, if you apply it too thickly you won't have a fun time when it comes to buffing it off. It's not the easiest product to work with, and you need to give it a good few minutes to dry before you buff it off; but the extra effort is rewarded with a truly fantastic deep glossy shine. The finish really is outstanding and it's comparable (at the very least!) to waxes with prices far, far north of this. In my experience, Collinite waxes have amazing durability; and this lives up to that reputation and more. Even months after applying, it still beads water very aggressively and provides excellent protection for the paint. In short, not the easiest product to work with (but to be honest if you're careful it's not that difficult) - but the results you can achieve are brilliant and well worth the extra bit of effort. Well worth the money.

This is the best polish I have ever used. Tried it on my daughter's car. A little goes a long way on an applicator and it requires only a light buffing with a good microfibre cloth to achieve a mirror finish. The water repelling properties are exceptional. It cleans the whole car - bodywork, wheels, windows and exterior trim. My daughter's car looked better than when she drove it out of the showroom. It appears as a thick paste in the bottle. Some people recommend warming the bottle in water to bring it closer to liquid form. Personally a good shake is all it needs and dispensing unto a polishing pad as a thicker wax is much easier to work with and probably avoids waste. A thin coat is all that is needed. There are many reviews of this wax on YouTube. I suggest you take a look, but all the reviews are uniform in praise of this wax. Having 'discovered' it I doubt I will use any other polish in future.

Currently trying to decide upon a wax that will provide durable protection and a decent shine for a VW Golf (on order). Have just waxed a third of the bonnet of our 2016 mid-blue Beetle with Collinite 845, a third with Autoglym HD wax and a third with Autoglym's Extra Gloss Protection (EGP). I've also applied some MER Finishing wax to the front valance area. Was a little apprehensive when it came to buffing-off as I'd left all four products on for over an hour to cure however, the 845 was removed as easily as both the EGP and the Mer with only the HD wax taking a little longer to shine. I'd read a few reviews stating that you shouldn't leave the 845 on for too long as it can be difficult to remove but in truth, it was the easiest of the four using a very soft 720gsm micro cloth. Having said that, I must admit that I find it reassuring that the Extra Gloss Protection takes a little more effort to shine. 1. The Autoglym HD and the Collinite 845 provided an impressive shine and the reflection created by the EGP and the Mer not too far behind. 2. The Collinite's ability to sheet and bead the water is phenomenal with all but the smallest trace of water disappearing on contact. The two Autoglym products were not quite as effective with the HD wax performing better than the Extra Gloss Protection, but by comparison the Mer was a little disappointing. 3. The Collinite's durability is impressive (as is the EGP), so initial thoughts on the Collinite 845 are very positive.... Six weeks on and Autoglym's Extra Gloss Protection's water beading qualities are still evident, and I know from experience that with additional applications it's durability will remain a constant. So when considering value for money and for ease of application, I've decided on using Autoglym EGP to protect my new VW Golf's paintwork, and I'll use the Collinite to protect my car's alloy wheels.

Uso Collinite 845 Insulator Wax da tempo e posso dire che è una di quelle cere che non passano mai di moda, anzi: più passa il tempo, più capisci perché è diventata storica. La durata è eccezionale: resiste bene a pioggia, sporco e lavaggi, cosa non scontata per una cera che mantiene un’anima così tradizionale. La protezione è reale, non solo estetica. Va scaldata un po’ prima dell’uso (basta acqua calda), ma una volta liquida si stende facilmente e si rimuove senza fatica. Ne basta pochissima: una bottiglia dura una vita.

Brilliant product. I had tried autogylm, meguiars. However this was the easiest to apply and got a mirror like finish. Tip. Pre Soak the bottle in hot water and shake well.

Einfach genial. Super leicht aufzutragen, unter 1 Stunde fuer ganze Auto, super ergiebig, fuer die A- Klasse nur 2cm aus der bottle verbraucht, Auto ist schwarz und 15 Jahre alt und Lack strahlt wie Spiegel und noch "tieferes" Schwarz. Nach jetzt ueber einem Monat unverändert brillant, abperlend und ohne Widerstand beim Fingerstest. Und bei der Ergiebigkeit relativiert sich der Flaschenpreis schnell, reicht dann fuer 2 bis 3 Jahre. Klarer Tipp von mir!!

I think Collinite 845 is the best car wax out there. I certainly have not tried them all but I am done looking. The depth of shine and long term protection it provides is awesome. I live in Nebraska. One wax in the spring and a second waxing before winter and my cars are good. Look great and bead water until the next waxing. Application is easy and removal is also easy as long as you don’t let it sit too long on the paint.

Personnellement je fais baigner le tube de cire dans un bac d'eau chaude pour réduire la solidification du produit se trouvant à l'intérieur. Je secoue en vérifiant que le produit soit suffisamment liquide et j'attaque l'étalage. Je laisse poser 5 minutes et je passe une microfibre de qualité pour retirer l'excédent. Pas besoin de beaucoup de quantité pour une voiture de catégorie 3 type C4 2015. . A renouveler dans 3 mois. Livraison impeccable.
