Looks good! I have used the Collinite and love it. I haven't used Mothers. Good job!

Good looking truck. Like the color combo.

How hard is the collinite to get off? I've used lots of waxes and some seem to take tons of effort to remove?

Very easy to remove and leaves no residue at all!

Very easy to remove and leaves no residue! Just shake well before applying.

Just do one section at a time and then remove. For example, I do the hood and then remove. Right qtr panel and remove, etc.

what collonite are you using? im assuming 845 is you said shake well before use.

you will definately notice a difference in 845 over mothers especially if you do a second or third coat. 845 tends to look so much better after a second coat.

also the durability will blow mothers away.

did you do the rims too? 845 is a great wheel wax without a doubt.

Great advice. Will put a 2nd coat on today.
Very easy to pally and remove. I think it looks great, just didn't notice a big difference with mothers Carnuba, but as stated durability should be better.
Will give it a shot on the wheels as well.
It is Collinite 845. Friend told me he thought it was hard to remove, however I had zero issues. As said above, pally one section then remove. Pretty easy.

the key to using 845 properly is thin thin coats. then it isnt hard to remove at all.

also, try putting it in a finger pump spray bottle. what an easy way to apply it.

others have also reported it works great on black plastic trim as a WOWO product, but i found it was still staining the trim.
