Collinite 845 Insulator Wax, 473 ml, white

Product Information

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. 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.

Collinite make their second contribution to this list with their 845 Insulator Wax voted as my best liquid wax. This is a product that I’ve been using for several years now and could easily be one of the contenders for the best value for money. 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.

Collinite No. 845 - Insulator Wax Reviews

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. There have been few products that have caused the hype that P&S’s Bead Maker has over the last few years in the detailing industry. They went hard on their marketing, getting all sorts of YouTube detailers to try it and it worked. A few minutes spent applying one of these specialist coatings slows the build-up of brake dust.

Review I've never used this wax before. In the year 2021, when I tell people this and they know how long I've been detailing cars, they are surprised because this product has a loyal and strong following. And the reason it has a loyal and strong following is real simple, it's a really nice wax. I say this from the application, wipe-off and end-results point-of-view. This car I applied it to has left the building and went home with the owner so I can't talk about longevity and protection. Cleaning grubby wheels is one of the toughest valeting jobs, so why not make it easy on yourself by using a polish?

It gives a deep, glossy finish to the paint and this is why it’s a game-changer for me. The looks are pretty much unrivalled and the closest link that I’ve tested is the Swissvax Best of Show, which is about 10x the price.Easy to apply, spray it - wipe it - that is it. (Hours of hard labour is converted into minutes of wiping)

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.Trenchfoot, let me provisionally propose the following for your detail, based on the products we have discussed:

The 476s is the most durable product offered by Collinite, which is why it requires a little more rubbing and elbow grease. Hard waxes are used at a slower rate than liquid treatments. We took this into account when factoring in cost, although this played a relatively small role in the verdict. None of the prices here includes delivery costs. Verdict 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... 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. Oftentimes, it’s the lesser advertised products that are the best. For this reason I’ve put together this Collinite 845 review. The case in point seems to be true with Collinite 845 Liquid Insulator Wax 845 – little advertising, but tons of word of mouth.The 915 has more carnauba wax in the formula, and its finishing result is a warmer shine, and it is slightly easier to work with. 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. Even with the flip-top cap, the product is quite thin and little goes a long way so get used to how it pours out.
