Hopefully the eggshells didn't do much. O.O

We've had someone throw a full pickle jar in a headlight, and a beer bottle through the window. The marks were still around the headlight, and all that sticky beer was a pain to clean...

Do I need to wash the applicator after I use it? Just used this stuff for the first time. Went on easy and came off easy with a great shine. Wish I could get a picture to upload because my wife's Acadia looks great. The Platty gets its turn tomorrow.

I use a pad to apply it with my DA polisher. When done I put the pad in a zip loc bag and squish all the air out, never had any issues.

I fold a blue paper shop towel in fourths, apply a little detail spray to it to dampen it, and use that to apply the Collinite. Hardly any soaks into the towel, it gets and stays good and wet with the 845, and you use less and less as you go. By the time you get to the last panel or two, you can put the bottle away, and just use what's on the towel.........then just throw it away when you are done.

No before pic needed....that Navy Blue looks great! I'll bet that the ease with which 845 comes off is especially beneficial on dark colors.
