I don't think the Collinite 845 will expire too soon. It should be similar to shelf life of Meg's. Pulot sa ibang forum:

You can typically expect Meguiar's surface care formulations to retain their full effectiveness for 3 to 5 years, as long as the container has been sealed tightly, and has not been frozen.

I think Meguiar's is being very conservative with their statement. I've used products that were more than 10 years old and worked perfectly.

As long as you avoid temperature extremes most detailing products will last a very long time. Just keep them tightly closed.

The can of #16 I'm finishing up is over 10 years old and I use plenty of products that are even older than that. My "interior wood wax" (a Zymol/Germany product made for BHMA) is 21 years old and it's still fine.

Naghanap ako ng info about sa TW Ice Spray Wax, meron pala syang IPA (isopropanol), does this mean na nakakatanggal sya ng existing wax/sealant sa paint like Klasse or Collinite?

It depends sa dami ng IPA content nya per volume. Im no expert but i think it is being used as a solvent.
Katulad sa mga liquid wax, kaya sya liquid is because of the high amount of solvent to liquify the wax, kaya layering will be impossible, you just removing the wax underneath and putting on a new layer.

Naisip ko din to, narealize ko kase nung naglagay ako kanina na baka matanggal lang din yung KSG na nilagay ko pag ginamit ko yung TW Spray Wax. It's a learning process pero as long as natututo tayo, it's all good

Collinite 476 is nice wax for light colored cars. Only benefit you get by applying wax through a machine is mas mabilis matapos mag wax. Pero in the end parehas lang ang kintab. Why do you want to have your car machine buffed?

Sir patulong naman. Nag kakawatermarks kaagad ang 4 days old na totl everest 2015 ko after lang pag car wash ko gamit ung turtle wax shampoo concentrated. Sumubra cguro ung mixing ko sa shampoo at tagal bago ko na banlawan kasi natagalan ako pag linis ng rim and tires.

Whole body talaga ang mga bakat pati na sa headlights, windshield and chrome sa grilles and tail gate.

Takot ako ipa galaw sa detailing baka gamitan ng abrasive compound mabawasan ang clear coat at baka mag kaka swirl marks.

Na try ko na yung distilled white vinegar in 1/3 ratio (1 part vinegar and 3 parts water) pero ayaw talaga matangal. Yung mga bakat para siyang natuyo na wax na nag kalat sa buong katawan.

Patulong naman mga sir sa safe na pag tangal sa watermarks naiwan sa turtle wax shampoo..

Ganun talaga bro. Gagamitan ng compound yan. sa experience ko, mawawala yan ng kusa, maka ilan car wash ka lang. Pwede mo rin i paste wax or liquid wax (cheap micro magic from blade). Makailan gamit ka lang mawawala din eventually.
Btw di nama basta basta natatanggal ang clear coat ng isang rubbing lang eh. Pwede mo rin subukan ipa clay.

Hmmm. That is strange. I've been using Meg's Ultimate Polish for some time now and I never find it difficult to remove. Same with Meg's Ultimate Wax. Both are easy to apply, work and remove.

Haha! Its a Great product! But it seems you already figured it out how to use it properly.
And just to add, megs ultimate polish uses SMAT technology, just like its big brother M205. Meaning it does not require to work the product in to the paint long, if you work it too long, like more than 6 passes with very slow arm movement, the product tends to clump and hard to remove. Maybe humidity also plays a factor. Anyway hope your next encounter with ult polish, will be better.

Try Klasse All-in-One, kung bago pa watermark, madali lang yan matanggal, or try carpro spotless, i think ginnova has this one. Both are non abrasive, you just need to work the product in the paint.
Another option with mild abrasives, cleaner wax, try mothers or megs.

The feels today...

1. When you drop your wax/polish applicator...

2. Tearing the label on your new mf clothe...

3. Putting a 2nd coat of sealant...

[red_one]

Ikaw lang makakasagot nyan. Check water beading effect every car wash to know if time for waxing na.
