The hits just keep on coming! That last white truck looks incredible and the photo of the reflection of your hand is perfect to show what this stuff does!.....and to have people stop you and ask what you use to make it that shiny.....hmmmm.....wonder of this thread and 845 has earned being a sticky here on the forum?
This stuff IS THAT good!!

OK....you asked....
Cost
Ease of application
Ease of removal....it comes off just crazy easily
Durability....I am in 6k miles since the last application....been through dust storms, snow, hail and pollen attacks ( daily wiped off with detail spray and towel)....towel still slides off the hood like the first day. No swirl marks, no scratches....still smooth and shiny. This stuff is HARD!

Your truck looks very nice too, but what is yours like to use and how long does it stay looking like that?

Default Okay who out there has a leather cleaner,protector,conditioner out there that works g

I have a great sealant now thanks to these posts Klasse sealant.
An excellent Carnauba a wax by Mothers
Looks like I'll be trying the Collinite 845. especially for those areas where the black plastic is .
Got a few micro fiber towels out there again from your posts .
Now looking for tire care items that shine and don't sling off. And also leather care products out there that you all just love to use and work like no other.

Hell I don't even pick up my 2012 F150 Lariat Ecoboost,3.73 rear,max tow,20in chrome rims, 6.5 bed, Jason Rage topper, Line X spray-in , till July 6th.

But all this forum stuff sure helps the waiting time go by quicker even though its getting expensive the longer I read these forum detailing ideas. lol

So it lasts thru 2 whole washings?? ( or is that 1 whole washing-wash wax-apply wax- wash in 2 weeks-wait 2 more weeks and wax again) Wow. What's the cost ??
