Default Quick detail

Got out of work early today, so took the opportunity to do a quick clean of the Vette. 2 bucket wash, quick clay of every panel, mild polish and finish off with Collinite 845. This is the first time I’ve used the Collinite and I have to say I was impressed with how easy it applied and how nice it looks. If it lasts even half as long as people claim, I may very well have just found my new favorite wax.

Funny you should say that. I was just thinking about what tint I wanted to do on the windows. Those are factory glass not tinted. I think it’s just an optical illusion with the black interior that makes them look tinted in those shots.

I've been using the Collinite for several years now and have not been disappointed. Even our Winter driver Caddies maintain a shine and bead water. Definitely easy on/off.

Very nice. I've been using IW 845 since 1974, not a typo. Great stuff. The key is to apply very sparingly, it lasts forever.
