got some 845 a week ago figured i would test it out, no prep was done other then the left half of hood was onr'd and 1 coat of 845 applied a week ago, car was being washed while this video was shot videos shot with a motorola droid x btw...not bad YouTube - 2010 11 15 12 29 01 540 YouTube - 2010 11 15 12 29 35 664
Iv heard other people have issues with streaking. How long are you waiting before you remove the product?I havent seen issues with this in my experience. I typically go around the car Starting from the front and going to the back. I do a swipe test on the hood untill it know longer streaks then i remove starting from the front and working my way back and i have not seen streaking issues.
I have had fantastic results with 845, that being said it is not perfect. On my black audi even after making sure I evenly distribute the wax with my pc and waiting the appropriate time period and removing excess with a high quality microfiber, I can see the last direction of my pc in the reflection. Now it's difficult to see, but I see it, after a little time in the sun they disappear. The longevity of this wax in comparison to anything else I have ever tried, this stuff last the longest, beads water for months, and after a couple of coats shines like nobodies business. Just this last Saturday I bought some 915 and applied it on top of the 845 on the hood and now it looks like a mirror, the shine is intense and its difficult to see the black paint through the reflection. Just my $.02
It's indeed a fantastic product at a very low price. Everyone should have it in their arsenal. It's much better than 476 or 915 in my opinion. Collinite never really mastered an "easy on easy off" paste wax, so it's best sto stick with 845 in liquid form. My only problem echoes what is being said above. After a second or third layer of the product, I can start seeing "streaks" or "runs" in the paint where it was applied. Only at certains angels, in certain light. But it's there, and it's impossible to remove unless you polish it off. It's for that reason that I primarily only use it as a first layer after polishing, or on places like roofs or below rubbing strips on doors. And of course, on my Weber grills...
