Generally noted for its durability and ease of use and shine. Of the Collinite family 476 is the longest lasting, followed by 915 and then 845. The first 2 are carnauba/synthetic paste in a pot. All are exceptional on dark cars as well. I've got 915, can be less than easy to apply depending on weather and application. No big deal really...just follow directions. Only had on a month now but still seems strong as ever, easy minor cleanup with QD always looks pretty good.

I would expect 845 to be the same but easier to use and a bit less long lasting. Google it or check autogeek...Lotsa reviews/opinions.

Its a very durable wax and sells extremely well. It offers a lot of bang for the buck. As offered most will suggest its a bit of a challenge to remove. It should be put on extremely thin and allowed to dry. Humid environments might need a little extra time, but the thin application is often the real key to success.

I bought the 845 this year at the suggestion of another forum member. It is easy to apply and remove. Really makes the exterior pop, as for durability can not comment yet.

Good stuff
If you apply too heavy get the chisel out.

I have used this stuff for years, twice a year. I apply it with my PC, a soft black LC Pad, 3 dime size drops on the pad, per panel, then let dry. The thing is, it looks even better the second day!
