You aint kidding! The 845 I soaked in warm water otherwise it would not come out of the bottle. A little goes a long way, did the whole truck maybe used an 1/8 of the bottle. I think I might let it sit on for a week or so, rinse it and apply another coat. I am assuming next time should only take about half hour!

Yup some good stuff!!! For unreal results try some clay bar polish, poor boys black hole glaze, liquid glass then collinite.
The liquid glass takes a while so I only do it 2 times a year (end of spring and end of fall). Either way try the poor boys glaze.

I will look into it and give it a try. I have liquid glass already, thought about it but I think it harder to wipe off, if I remember when I applied it to my boat the haze was hard to get off.

Thanks. I think the only thing it doesn't have is the ambient light package and heated/cooled rear seats. Front has them but I think the Limited/platinum's have the rear also.

So far all I have done to it is, Lo-pro cover, 2 inch level, Linex, ezdown tailgate assist, tailgate lock, front license plate delete kit and carriage works IC grill and the reflector to blinker Mod. Got the Wheel well liners on order and maybe putting on AT2 on the factory 20's with My touch lockpic. These are all things that I wanted to do to it after reading this forum and getting ideas from all of you.

I've been using the Collinte 476s wax on my F250 since it was new. Sat outside in the AZ sun its entire life and it still shines like new, and the clear coat is still intact too. Best, once a year wax ever.
