Collinite 845 Insulator Wax, 473 ml, white

Product Information

Helpful Tip: Collinite's No. 845 Liquid Insulator wax goes on thin, thin, thin! It doesn't take a lot of product and the more you apply, the more difficult it is going to be to wipe off. The amount you see below was enough wax to completely cover the entire quarter panel on my car. If you're going to apply the wax by hand, I've found that a poly foam wax applicator works best. As a personal preference of mine, I avoid microfiber applicators when applying a pure wax or sealant. I leave microfiber applicators for abrasive or chemical polishes. I have been using Collinite 845 for few years now and I'm extremely happy with its ease of application and the shine it gives. I've recently ventured into a DIY Ceramic coating for my car. It's supposed to last 6 months, and it surely did last a month or two more than that. This is my experience with the same - https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/diy-d...ento-home.html (My experience with Car Care products; How I Ceramic-Coated my Vento at home) Application is easy enough, but it is worth standing this in hot water for a few minutes before you use as it can harden. No problem though, and once it’s been sat it because liquid again. How difficult is it to apply and remove the wax ? I apply entire car and then remove, for my 845. Can we do at least one panel at a time with 915, in our Indian weather ?

The 476s is the most durable product offered by Collinite, which is why it requires a little more rubbing and elbow grease. In our air-conditioned garage, temp set to 74 degrees, it took about 10 to 15 minutes for the wax to dry to a haze. I turned an air mover on to speed up the process and also to For best results, I find that you need to apply this by hand on to clean (ideally corrected) paint. Layer the wax with 2 to 3 coats, leaving a couple of hours between each coat to allow it cure. Once again, keep it thin layers. Overapplying is one of the biggest mistakes when it comes to applying wax to your car. Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax, for example, is one of the finest liquid carnauba waxes you can buy. It has the shine and wetness of carnauba but its longevity is more like a paint sealant. You can expect up to 4-7 months of protection and incredible water-beading, even on non-garaged vehicles. To conclude the RallyWays Collinite 845 review – The bottom line is the wax is good and I highly recommend it. I would definitely buy it again. Not to mention, the price is right. The wax does not smell fun, is clumpy and takes a lot of mixing to smooth out. But, once you get past that, it’s really easy to apply and actually pleasant to work with. The fact that it spreads really easily also means you need to use less of it and therefore one bottle will last you longer than other waxes. Removing the residue is a straightforward process with a good balance of toughness and ease. It’s also pretty safe on non-painted areas if you screw up and touch them. That pretty much sums it up. I’d recommend you give it a try too.I’m very careful not to contaminate plastic and rubber trim with wax – so much that I often apply masking tape to the trim to help keep wax off. However, you always have an accident or two. I noticed the Collinite 845 did not make the trim chalky and cloudy where I screwed up and touched the plastic. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t recommend you carelessly spread it over everything. It’s not sun tan lotion. The paint becomes incredibly slippery after use and this process takes up to 8 hours to fully cure, although you can drive your car within about 20 minutes of applying. It’s good for about 3 weeks of incredible slipperiness before it starts to deteriorate. Cleaning grubby wheels is one of the toughest valeting jobs, so why not make it easy on yourself by using a polish?

Much like we’ve discussed the importance of adding a layer of protection to the bodywork of the car, it’s also important to protect the wheels. My weapon of choice is a Lake Country Hydro-Tech Tangerine Polishing pad. If you have ever read any of my other write-ups, you know I'm a huge fan of the Hydro-Tech pads because of their closed cell foam design. Because of their design, the Hydro-Tech pads allow more product to stay on the face of the pad. This equals a longer working time from each respective product along with easier clean up of the pad.

Collinite No. 845 - Insulator Wax

To apply by machine: work at a low speed with no pressure since you are simply applying a product. Use a microfiber bonnet over a lambswool pad to remove Insulator Wax. Apply wax to one section at a time, wait 30 seconds, and then buff. First and foremost, you want to follow the standard procedure for applying any wax or sealant. Start by claying the vehicle if necessary and then remove any swirls, scratches, water spots, or other imperfections. The test vehicle used for this demonstration is my daily driver, a 6th generation Honda Accord that is meticulously maintained. Because it doesn't need any correction work, and the paint was clayed just one month prior to application of the wax, I went right to the pre-wax polish. My first experience with Collinite 845 would be layering it over an already cured layer of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0. The plan was to layer it on following the instructions on the bottle and after removing the residue, let it cure for 12 hours before layering again. Yes, it was an ambitious detailing project. Now that you're familiar with Collinite's No. 845 Liquid Insulator Wax, let's dive into the basic products necessary to ensure you get the best performance and durability out of the wax.

The only wax I have used previously is Sonax High Speed Spray wax so that is my point of reference. Muscle power for application and buffing was 50% of Sonax. Gloss and smoothness was noticeably more! I used Sunnyboi's technique to decant about 25% of the bottle into a dropper, well when I say dropper it is actually the bottle restaurants use to dispense ketchup! Immersed this in a mug of hot water before use via a foam applicator. Thin wax layers helped keep the lazy muscles smiling. I am confident I can do the whole car in under 30 mins with no fatigue. Collinite 845 Insulator Wax is best suited for lighter colours and those wanting maximum durability. This wax is an absolute steal and is very easy to apply. Collinite 845 Insulator wax leaves an almost indestructible coating which even outlasts most sealants as well as 99% of other wax's. A single application can last up to 12 months while remaining detergent proof. 845 Insulator wax offers exceptional wet high gloss finish for cars, wheels, boats, wood, tiles and even your shower! Due to its high temperature resistance it also serves as a great wheel sealant, helping repel brake dust. Autoglym Rapid Ceramic Spray is a great, efficient and easy to apply spray product. When applied to the alloys, I’ve been able to get 2 months out of the coating. What I really like about it is that it can be used in tandem with Autoglym Super Resin Polish. The SRP can fill in any light scratches on the wheel, and the RSC is able to seal this in, as well as making the wheel super hydrophobic. When applying this to the wheel, I like to use a microfibre applicator pad to spread it onto the wheel and them remove it using a microfibre cloth. It took me about 10 minutes to coat this HUGE car with wax because it spread out so easy and so thin...

Liquid Insulator Wax is in a class all its own when it comes to long-term durability, easy application, and paint enhancement. The liquid car wax was created to insulate electrical components, but it has become one of the foremost liquid car waxes on the market by word-of-mouth of Collinite’s very satisfied customers. I need my car wax to last, look good and also bead like crazy. The latter is not all that important for some, but I simply love those beading shots when the rain has been coming down. One of the most impressive features of Collinite 845 is its longevity. You can easily get 3 to 4 months of use out of one application, with around 7 to 8 washes in that period. b)I am planning to wash the car once a week with a PH-neutral car shampoo only. Can a ‘Wash and Wax shampoo’ help in longer retention of Collinite 845’s coating by, say, adding a layer of the so-called wax over Collinite 845’s coat, or will such shampoos harm the wax coating rather than aiding?

The are the dirtiest parts of the car thank to them being so close to the road, as well as being subjected to a significant amount of break dust. With that in mind, what are the options when it comes to waxes and sealants for wheels? In terms of application, the wax goes onto the paint like an absolute dream. You need to make you sure you apply it thinly and then remove pretty much straight away as it can become grabby if you leave it to cure for too long. I find that once you’ve worked around the car, it’s about ready to buff as you finish. Although Collinite manufactures a complete line of surface care products for automotive, marine, aeronautical and industrial applications, we're going to primarily focus on their most popular product - No. 845 Liquid Insulator Wax. Collinite's No. 845 Liquid Insulator Wax is a more user-friendly version of their No. 476 paste wax. There is no doubt that No. 845 Liquid Insulator Wax is Collinite's most well-known and most talked about wax. It's recognized for its outstanding durability even in the harshest of environments. Not only is No. 845 Liquid Insulator Wax durable, but it's also fairly easy to use and produces a shine that's not typically expected from a wax in this price range. Now I want to try Collinite 915 for the alleged shine it gives. However, it being priced at ₹4000 in India has kept me on the fence.OK then. I spread it out over the applicator with my gloved fingers and proceed to apply over, you guessed it, the hood. (The bonnet, for my British friends). Collinite 845 Insulator Wax is one of the finest heavy duty liquid wax's you can buy. Collinite 845 insulator wax was originally developed over 75 years ago to help protect electrical power companies against electrical issues, fires and explosions - If it stands up to these conditions, Imagine what protection it offers your paint...
