Hrm. Had not seen that FAQ. Thanks.

I've used 845 on my Black F150 and my wifes Pearl White Acura. It does very well.

I do want to try the 915 now though for my truck.

Yep I have the dark kodiak brown, guess I need to sell my lightly used bottle of 845!

I thank you guys once again. I got my dad to finally try this stuff on his red C5 Corvette.

...and we just got done waxing his C6. He loves the stuff! The silver paint on it looks absolutely gorgeous, and tomorrow we will see how good it looks in the sun. We even put it on some of the black plastic and lenses. Another beautiful shine.

Though I DO think I'll have to start keeping tabs on my bottle of Collinite 845 now... Methinks it may go missing one day!

Default I am still amazed at the depth of shine for 845....

I really thought about starting another thread but thought better of it, and I'll post these here instead. The second coat of 845 feels (and looks) 4 times better than a single coat......

Claying makes all the difference in the world.

Indeed it does. I am amazed that more people don't do this for their paint. It is easy and fast, and I've had the same chunk of clay for two years, and it is still going strong. I use California Gold Showtime detail spray for lubricant, and it seems to work great and takes all the surface imperfections and dirt out very well.

Well hell I guess I should put another coat on mine, it's only been 20 months since 1st coat, but damn she still shines so well.





Can anyone see those puffy white things in the front fender? Clouds perhaps?

Wonder where those disbeliever's are now, seem to recall them saying something about longevity not there or something, HA!!
