I traded off one of my AutoGlym HD waxes for a bottle of Collinite 845 Insulator Wax that I seen on another forum. Many have probably never heard of them since they dont advertise but rely on word of mouth and focus their monies on making better products instead of better commercials.

This was is considered a liquid paste wax and has high amounts of carnauba in it. Its very thick when you get it and you must shake the bejesus out it. I actually left mine out in the sun while I was cleaning up the above vehicle and shook it when I was ready. The sun thinned it for me :D

Anyways, a LITTLE of this wax goes a LONG ways! you have to apply THIN, it even says on the bottle. I used my DA with a finishing pad to apply it and I could not have asked for an easier application!!! It went on butter smooth and come off pretty darn easy as long as it was hazed up good. You want to apply it in the shade if possible, the hotter the surface, the longer it takes to cure and the cooler the surface the faster it cures, so you want it just right!!

On the car above I:

1) washed
2) dried
3) compounded with M105 Ultra Cut on a 6 1/2" Meguiar's polishing pad
4) polished with Meguiar's #7 Showcar Glaze Pure Polish on a Meguiar's 6 1/2" finishing pad
5)Sealed with the LSP Collinite 845 Collinite Wax on a 6 1/2" Meguiar's finishing pad

rinsed compound and polish dust off and then dried again and wiped down with Meguiar's Quick Detailer.

The wax put out the best shine that I have ever seen coupled with the freshly compounded and polished surface. And as you can see in the video, the water beaded and rolled off of the surface IMO better than AutoGlym, Meguiar's (cleaner wax, ultimate, or NXT).

I've called all of my local stores and none of them do. Probably need to order it online.

I've been using Collinite insulator wax for years. I love it. Very easy application and it buffs out easily too... especially if your doing it by hand without a buffer. Best bet is to order it online because I don't see it in stores very often.

From another car forum I heard about Rejex. "RejeX is a thin-film polymer coating...". It's been working for me.

Im sorry im not giving $41 for some wax. Collinite is $16.00 and provides a super glossy shine for a fraction of the price lol
