Put a coat of the seminal Collinite 845 on the TLX last week. Wasn't able to take any pics due to the weather so I snapped a few today after doing a rinse-less wash with some ONR.
Note - those of you who purchased the wrong colour (i.e., not White) may feel a twinge of regret after viewing these...
Thanks - I used Blackfire Wet Diamond the past two years - looking forward to seeing how well the 845 holds up to an Ohio Winter.

Ran out and am trying the Klasse twins for this winter.
I've been meaning to try these products for a while and for some reason haven't.. I have to give them I try, I've heard good things about Black Diamond and Klasse.
If you're looking for protection over winter. You can't beat this stuff, sure it doesn't have the same gloss as other waxes but it's like armor for your car, this stuff will still bead water in the spring. Just make sure you apply it correctly otherwise it's a bitch to remove if you go too heavy or apply it in direct sunlight.
Looks beautiful! I have personally never been a fan of white cars but a clean TLX looks gorgeous in white. I would have maybe thought about it but went with graphite luster metallic but wow the white really shows off the cars lines a lot better!

I was on the fence between the 476 or 845 and went with the 845 - mainly because I've been reading about it for so long!

No question I am lusting over your white TLX, but with the collinite protection, it will bead well
Thanks - the 845 is really slick and glossy! I put it on for protection but really like the wet gloss!

Aye - I've actually got some Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant in the basement I want to try too - will likely put that on in the Spring. I read lots of good stuff on Autogeek regarding the Klasse products - will have to try that out at some point too - maybe next year on the wife's Mazda.
