    Hey DB need your help/advice on some products. Basically, my parents are planning to

    purchase a vehicle in the Philippines next Feb. prior to both of them retiring. It will be their/

    our transportation while we are there. The closest "climates" would either be Florida and or

    Hawaii. Besides the basics ive been shopping for Mf's, soap/shampoo, Onr, qd, yada yada yada

    Which LSP would you guys recommend for the weather there? How does 845 do in hot/humid

    weather? Or even BFWD? My 1st line of attack by hand is wash with CG CW, clay, ONR, glaze

    (maybe) then 2 coats of 845. I say by hand due to not sure how the PC will function running

    off a *step down* converter/adapter from 220v to 110v (may need a transformer) i left my

    *step down/converter there for charging all my electronics when i was there in Feb.

    The products/supplies im sending there will be left there just for the vehicle. My parents

    will staying there 6 months out the year so i will be giving my dad a impromtu course on

    keeping the paint protected. Any input is always appreciated. Ill probably be sending a

    big box of car stuff in the beginning of november. there will be no weight limit on the box

    as long as all items fit inside box, so im sending everything but the kitchen sink because

    when i was there in Feb the otc stuff was just like auto-zone or wally world products here in

    the states. oh one more thing the vehicle they are purchasing will be brand new and will

    be either white or silver as i suggested to them. Sorry so long i figured better ask you guys

    early :sorry:

    thanx in advance

    To specifically address Collinite 845's ability to be used in humid climates: it is more than capable and performs very well as my garage used to get extremely damp when it rained and 845 acted no differently. I left it to cure for a longer period of time (up to an hour) and never had an issue with thin applications.

    Most LSPs will do fine with the increased humidity, however you may have trouble in application and removal. Regarding the PC and the power converter, you will have no troubles either as long as the house electricity is steady and free from major power spikes. A converter will produce enough juice to run your PC without issue.
