Collinite 845 Consistency

[harbor]

Detail stash was running low so thought I’d try Collinite 845 based on good reviews from this and other forums.
Ordered some from Amazon and was surprised at the waxy, almost toothpaste-like consistency. I was expecting more of a liquid. It applied fine and bottle language does state “Product’s consistently may vary”. Wondering if I got an old, expired bottle or this is just how the wax is.
Any thoughts?

Putting out in the sun for about 15-20 minutes should resolve the issue.

Hot water bath for 15-20 and shake the hell out of it.

I put a glass marble in my Collinite to help with mixing while shaking.

I use a small tiny pail that I have, but cutting off the top of a juice jug or whatever will work too. Just fill it with hot water and wait a few minutes (or longer if needed?) then, as someone else said, shake the you know what out of it. You want it to be the consistency of milk before using it. Also, as you may have noticed, it will gather/harden/gel a bit just inside the lip where the lid goes. Just push that back in with a toothpick or something similar and shake again. It will mix right up with the warmer stuff inside. Remember, a tiny tiny bit goes a long ways. Just spread it on in straight lines (no need to rub/swirl it in) then wipe off when it gets hazy. It's the only wax I've used for years now and I use it on all my toys and vehicles.

I just let mine sit in the sun while I get the rest of my stuff ready and then like other poster said, shake it like crazy then it’s almost the consistency of milk.

Very durable for me. Is all I use

845 is all i've used for years now. I do my truck once,maybe 2x a year and it lasts and lasts.

Collinite products do put a nice shine on the paint. I’m using the 476. Lasts pretty good.
