Collinite No.845 Review | FocusOnDetailing 

True!! I love 845

That's really good thinking! I'll be doing that for the next time I use it for sure. Oh yeah Fusso plus Collinite would make for some irresistible shine and glow haha. Those Big Softies sure get a good workout!

@@focusondetailing3855 It works well mate but you really have to get it hot, I run mine directly under the hot water tap for a solid 10 mins to get that nice water like consistency.

@@focusondetailing3855 Sorry I keep hijacking your comments by answering some of the questions the guys have 😂😜

Haha it's all good! I appreciate it as I'm no good when it comes to replying. If I don't do it straight away I can get distracted and forget haha

@@focusondetailing3855 lol

If it's a show car, yes...if it's a daily driver, it's not necessary in my opinion.

Thank you! Fully Slick is great but I don't believe it will last as long nor have the same water repelling ability of this wax. Collinite is a good go to if you're just wanting your car protected but can't get back to doing it again all the time, it holds up pretty well. Another alternative is the other wax I stated in this video, Fusso Coat. That's a tough wax and will last even longer!

@@focusondetailing3855 I love collinite products. If you do proper maintenance with a spray-on wax every month the collinite 845 will last for about 6 months. I recently started using the 915 by collinite and it lasts a little longer than the 845 but it's a little harder to apply. My secret now is to start with a clean surface and use the 915 and use the 845 for the wheels and the trim. Then after 24 hours I apply a hybrid sealant by turtle Wax. This stuff altogether makes your paint pretty much bulletproof. I went through the past New England winter with it and the beads and the shine I still have are crazy.

Hello from Chicago. Pan and Obsessed dialed me onto Colinite 845 combined with Jescar PowerLock (I recently switched to UltraLock). Phenomenal results. I have an orange 2000 Porsche scheduled for April, 2023. I spoke to the Colinite rep and will use their Colinite 945. The Porshe owner said he had ceramic coating applied by a detailer last year. I haven’t seen the car, yet, but owner said it has swirls on it. Sounds like the detailer didn’t prep the surface. Either way, owner said he wants CARBUBA and that’s what he’s going to get. Did you ever work with Colinite 915?

Yes you can do that! Claying and polishing is just for correcting the paint and more shine overall. In your case the 845 will still protect.

It's available in Australia from several online detailing sites. Here's one. www.waxit.com.au/collections/collinite/products/collinite-845-insulator-wax

It's far superior to Bowdens Carnouba, particularly in durability, 845 lasts several months, BO Carnouba, as a stand alone, would be lucky to last 1 or 2 months and even less in the hot Aussie sun.

No it doesn't.

U should see a good 3 or 4 month at least on a daily driver with bad weather Just remember work one panel at a time and really thin coats, Joe Huntly in uk has short vid application hope this helps I like it on wheels too.

Thank you! Can't say I have nor on the customers' cars. Only thing I can think of is if the surface it bonded to wasn't prepped enough or purely it was from excessive heat. Thanks again for commenting

@MiddleEasternGuy I don’t notice that either. To be fair, I put 845 on my daily driver on the weekend and don’t scrutinize my car until the next time I wash it.

Ghost Wrench Yeah I actually bought it after watching this video and applied sparingly and experienced no issues.

I'm a shocker for measurements and ratios haha but I usually add around 60-80ml to my 1ltr foam cannon on top of the water and soap mixture. I used to use Bowden's Own Orange Agent but now since having my own products (AUTORAZ) I use my APC in the mix

It's not something that should be done as frequently as it may seem. If the paint work feels rough (unlikely in that case) or there's existing waxes or sealants that you're wanting removed then a claying is great. A strip wash may be more beneficial before applying a new protective layer. Thanks for commenting!

FocusOnDetailing thanks for the reply boss!

jay o He said, YES

It's recommended to avoid them as I don't know what the long term affects could be if it did come in contact with them and they don't specifically say it's okay to do so. Best bet is to stay with the appropriate plastic and rubber protective coatings

Hmm ice water? I don't know where that came from haha. I've only used the warm water

@@focusondetailing3855 Hot mate it's got to be hot not warm 😉

@@kenlawton1531 Ah yeah, that's what I meant 😅 *hot

@@focusondetailing3855 hahahaha

Ekam24 YES! FOR SURE. And that is not a knock on Meguiars products as they are very good!

I use 845 as a sacrificial layer on top of Fusso Coat. Fusso outlasts it by a country mile but 845 looks better hence I use both to get the best of both worlds. Works a treat.

@@kenlawton1531 thanks mate, just the kinda info I need. Is the 845 more like a carnuaba in appearance?

@@HamishW96 It is Carnouba that acts like a synthetic polymer so kind of a hybrid. You can't go wrong with it mate. Gloss levels = insane.

@@kenlawton1531 awesome, just what I've been after. Been using Meguiar's products and I'm not overly impressed with their 'nxt polymer' sealant....

@@HamishW96 I haven't used the polymer sealant however I have used it's predecessor, NXT tech wax 2.0 and it's fantastic. Easy on easy off amazing finish and reasonable durability.

I'll see how I go. I've got a fair few recommendations piling up now haha

Why mate it's rubbish haha

Turtle wax hard shell is heaps good

@@haydenpenning2719 Hard shell is shite and good luck getting that white dust off.. If you insist on Turtle Wax. Use Turtle Wax Seal and Shine instead
