NANO or COLLINITE 845?

just did meg's cleaner wax and deciding which wax to apply next.

choices are:

Eagle One Nano Wax

Turtle Wax F21

Collinite 845


used nano before and liked the results.

i think 845 is the better of the three just not sure what to expect

any opinions??

845 is good for durablity....key is to use it thinly, thinly thinly.

If it was cold, it prob didn't set up long enough or you put too much on.

if you aren't impressed with it now....after the first rain, you will be, then in 6 months you still will be.

it was probably 60-65* and i waited about an hour and i put it on pretty thin.

guess i'll just have to wait and see how it does

Gotcha, the durability threw me off and I was too lazy to read up.

But since he's not impressed with the results, couldn't he apply something else ontop to get the look he's after but still keep the durability? I'm guessing this would be the best option for him.

I guess he could still apply his nano over it... Personally, I would top it either with #26 or Gold Class...

I'm very pleased with the collinite on mine. My truck was covered with dew this morning and after it dried it still looks amazing.

I hope you QD'd those dew spots.

I would imagine the dew was little bitty pellets of water.

I am also VERY pleased with 845! I have had to wash off truck numerous times because of Midwest weather and it still shines up great!
