Do you use 845 straight away or do you use some of their other products first?
They tout it as a wax/sealant, true sealants have to be applied over paint that is free of contaminates and swirl free cause you don't want to seal in the imperfections. Also sealants are hard to get off once applied.

845 is more wax than a sealant and is easily removable so don't worry about that aspect. I would Wash, Iron X, Clay or use Nano Skin (much easier than claying) to free your truck of contaminants and then apply 845. For the Cost, ease of use, the 6-8 months of protection it offers, there is nothing else out there that comes close. My favorite product to use and I have over 2K worth of wax and cleaning products.

McGuire's has good products.

I've had good luck with Mother's.

I've heard good things about Griot's.
zaino warnings?

i use just zaino wax - wipe it on, it dries quick, wipe it off ... do it again in a year or so. It still beads after a year and bugs slide off ... and it takes little effort to buff it off, doesn't turn white on anything plastic/rubber.... love it. it doesn't seal anything so if needed I can clabar and then put more zaino on (i usually do the hood and front painted parts if i'm bored and have the time even if it doesn't need it)

I have used so many waxes, polishes, sealents, etc, that my garage shelf looks like a test bed for these products. Funny how most of them have only been used once and then never again.

That was, until I used Collonite 845. Simply amazing stuff, easy to apply, easy on black plastic (No white sh1tty residue). And it lasts better than any other product I have used, from over the counter stuff, to high end professional stuff.

I love the way it makes surfaces almost feel like a teflon frying pan, nothing seems to stick to it, up here in Edmonton, the snow never sticks and it makes washing so much easier at the wand wash during the winter.

For those of you that haven't tried it, give it a shot, it's easy to put on....

I am a Collinite 845 and Zaino fan. 845 is a great budget wax with good long term result and protection.

If anyone has a black truck I recommend the turtle wax black box, that stuff is amazing!
