got mule?
I'm about five emails back n forth from Amazon at the moment. Ordered Silverstar Ultras and saw the "try Prime and get your order by Friday the 23rd"...wait for it...still not here. Kind of BS if you're going to pay $69 for it and they can't meet your expectations they advertise. Needless to say Prime will be canceled a day before they charge me for it.
As for the Collinite, I got the wheels and running boards clayed, polished and 845'd. I was skeptical about getting the 845 on the black strips on the boards. A google search turned up an email from someone to Collinite. They say it's usually safe on trim as long as you are able to remove it. Textured trim is not recommended as the wax will get in the pits, etc. I had no issue getting it all off the little strips. Doesn't really shine the running boards up any, I don't think there's a clearcoat on them, but it should at least allow for easier cleaning.

I love amazon prime; I've gotten 3.99 overnight shipping on an entertainment center! Free 2nd day shipping rocks. It doesn't take many orders with them to recoup your $70/yr cost, plus you get their streaming movies free for being a member. Only downside besides cost is products that don't have prime shipping available, such as this polish.

The paint on my Candy Red is still beading nicely thanks to 845, and it was last applied in about October so it's been through the Canadian winter - this stuff has the best durability of any wax I've tried so far.
The white truck was treated to a covering of Dodo Juice Diamond White - it gave a nice finish but is now in need of another treatment.
I'm tempted to try one of the new nano ceramic sealants for winter durability but 845 seems to do the job pretty well anyway.

2 day shipping is free, overnight is $3.99 per item, and most things I order 2 day still show up next day anyway.
And they have recently added free movie and show streaming and free kindle book rentals.
I definitely get my money's worth out of it.
But, as you have experienced, stuff cn happen.
