We Say
When it comes to long-lasting protection, we’re big fans of Collinite 845 Insulator Wax. This liquid wax is a bit of a legend in detailing circles — easy to apply, surprisingly versatile, and known for creating a tight, glossy finish that really makes paintwork pop. We’ve found it works brilliantly on everything from daily drivers to show cars, and it’s just as happy sealing clear coats, gel coats, or even painted metal surfaces.
Thanks to its high-grade carnauba blend, 845 delivers a durable shield against UV rays, road grime, and harsh weather — making it a smart choice for year-round paint protection. The thin liquid formula (when shook vigorously or warmed) means you can spread it evenly with minimal effort, and because it cures to a smooth, slick surface, maintenance washes become quicker and easier.
If you’re looking for a wax that balances ease-of-use with serious longevity, Collinite 845 ticks the boxes. It’s one of those products that earns its place on the shelf for both enthusiasts and professionals alike.

It enhances the colour and depth of the paintwork, giving your vehicle a showroom-quality shine.This wax creates a rich, deep gloss that enhances the natural beauty of your vehicle's paint.

How To Use
For best results ensure vehicle is clean and decontaminated. We recommend using a pre-wax cleanser to polish and prepare the paintwork for the application of the wax. Using a Foam Wax Applicator apply a small amount of Collinite 845 to the paintwork and ensure to spread a thin even layer. Allow several minutes for the wax to cure to the surface and buff any residue off with a clean microfibre towel. 915 can be a tough wax to remove so we strongly recommend working one panel at a time or for the larger panels like bonnets or roofs breaking it into sections.
