    Either you're right or Collinite is, because, Collinite promotes 845 as LIQUID WAX & not as (paint) sealant, over & above you were asking to use or another good protecting Wax. Trust me, make such post, shows your knowledge

    And the pity thing is someone even liked this blasphemy!!

      This came in my mind too that 845 is a liquid wax but chose not to point out with my limited knowledge thinking I might be wrong.
      I think what he meant was to use wax to protect the original paint. Wrong choice of words!

      Anyways, I have contacted Sanjay from bringingbest to purchase a combo of FK sealant+FK paste wax+Collinite 845.
      How much discount do we get from them nowadays? Anybody ordered recently?

            You can get it here in India, but costs more. I got it from US. There it costs only 19$.

              My bad, I was typing from a mobile phone and instead of 'and' got it 'like'. Could have just pointed out the mistake rather than making a funny comment and wasting time and web space. And if you are so much into words and have great knowledge you should be knowing that its not LIQUID WAX bu INSULATOR WAX. This is a forum where people learn and I have never claimed to know everything.

              You might want to do some more R&D as I have read couple of forums on autogeek, autopia, teambhp etc where more than 1 layer of thin wax is used for better result/protection after letting it treat for 24 hrs. More specifically an Insulator/Protecting wax followed by the detailing/shining/gloss wax. In fact I just did it yesterday on my RE C500. Applied a 2nd layer of Collinite 845 after 20 hrs of 1st layer, and the results was surely an improvement over the 1 layer, but surely not double the impact.

              Also, don't think I made a mistake so big to be compared with an act of blasphemy. May be you are way better good and knowledgeable for less learned like us, if so please get another group of highly knowledgeable people to interact with.

              Could you please share why you are ordering 2 varieties of wax unless you meant the high temp FK wax

              If your order is below 3K then get free shipping. If over 3K then 10% but will have to pay shipping. Or you can go for reward points on your purchase.

              You can a also show him pick of current condition and what you are needing these products for. He can help you with better advise. Recently ordered from him and he helped me in getting what was best for the requirement I had.

              For all the polish & wax if you don't have an applicator pad would recommend getting the below one rather than from Sanjay as you will get 1 from him for this price. An Applicator pad makes a big difference, I learned it recently as earlier used to use the discarded cotton/hosiery material from home.

                Yes another wax is FK High Temp.
                Here is the combo- BB Impex Car Care Kit-1.
                It has MF cloths and quick pads as well.

                  Good combo if want to use it only for motorcycle. If plan to use it on car also better get more quantities of each, think so, haven't done the calculations :-)

                  Would recommend the FK high temp if your vehicle is parked in open area without shade

                    Yeah I will use on bike only, that too which is used occasionally and parked in shade. I guess this should last me for a year or so.

                      My bad & apologies; I usually am very sarcastic to such comments & thought it would hurt people more; so these days I'm turning mistakes to humor to take things lightly. If it has hurt you, then I can go back to what I used to be hehe

                      Rest of things, I just let them go; peace

                          You really didn't understand what I said; it's not MY WAY; make sure to LEARN & post right things instead of passing the buck on technology. LEARNING to be right is the key

                                Well next is waxing and polishing..Received the kit I ordered from Sanjay..Reading on how to actually use products..I have the following with me-

                                1 Bottle FK 215 One Step Cleaner & Surface Sealant
                                1 Tin Can FK Hi Temp Paste Wax BWM1000
                                1 Bottle Collinite 845 Wax
                                2 Eurow Microfibers
                                2 Armaly QuikPads

                                Waxpol Scooter polish (orange tin)

                                How to go about using the above?
                                Is this ok- Cleaning->Drying->FK Cleaner->FK Paste Wax->Collinite 845

                                When to use MF cloth and when pads?

                                You can ride a Motorcycle any day of the month. ;)
