    I used this wax for the first time late this summer. After my last detail before the winter I put on two coats of 845 as my winter prep. The ease of application and removal I found to be be superb. I'm coming up on three months since I last applied it. I live in Ottawa Canada where we do winter right, lots of snow, salt and daily abuse.

    Due to my circumstances, I fully admit I use touchless washes regularly during the winter. After this much abuse so far, we've had some bizarre weather and today got above zero and it rained. I came out to a good shine and lots of beading still, this wax seems indestructible so far. I didn't get pictures today, but I will next chance I get for beading. These pics are from my last wax and one from last winter, this truck sits outside 24/7. I'm really impressed with 845 so far.

    I tried 845 this summer for the first time and have now almost emptied a bottle. Its just sooooo easy to put on and take off. A little tip. Shake the living bejesus out of it and it will actually go runny.

    I Agree with joep. Thats one thing I like about the 845 when it's time to wash the car with ONR in the garage. It's just so easy to throw on a coat of 845 afterwards. I just keep it in the house because it can get and will get thick on you. It justs get you one more coat closer to spring.

    I love 845. I used 476 since the summer time and 845 is very different. Much easier to remove/apply, and one thing I noticed is that it is much oilier than 476 which makes applying it thin a lot easier.

    Yes, I was pleasantly surprised. I really don't see any need to have any other LSPs lying around in my opinion. I would, however, like to put a base down of 845 and topping it with something like Souveran and see how that works...

    Personally, I don't see a difference between 845 and any of my other LSPs, like Zaino, Souveran, etc.

    Amen to that!!! You almost need one of those paint shaker things they have at Lowe's for mixing paints.

    And, Carlos, of all people that doesn't have 845??? Dude, I thought you have everything in gallons up there???

    seems like putting this down after some sealant would make the ultimate protection

    My favorite LSP, I'm saying it again! SO AWESOME! And I feel there is this warmth/glow to the finish when it's done that I have not seen in any other LSPs I have!!!

    Very nice stuff. Not a carnauba though, so it shouldn't be compared to the nubas as apples to apples comparisons.

    I love how quick it is to apply/remove. This is the base coat for all vehicles I do now.
