- BEST PAINT SEALANT AND WAX COMBO!! Featuring Matt from Obsessed Garage! To get the best of both worlds, I like to combine the durability of a synthetic paint sealant with the warm glow and high gloss of a carnauba wax.

Not all products are compatible, but one powerful combination that I discovered, thanks to Matt Moreman of Obsessed Garage, is to apply a base layer of Jescar PowerLock+ followed by a top coat of Collinite 845 Insulator Wax. Expect 6 to 8 months of real world durability plus the depth and gloss of a carnauba wax.

Apply a thin coat of Jescar PowerLock+, then buff off. Wait at least 3 hours and then apply a thin layer of Collinite 845 Insulator Wax. After you’ve applied this dynamic duo, maintenance washes will be simple. Wash the vehicle using a pH neutral car shampoo, and after rinsing, while it’s still wet, use your favorite quick detailer as a drying aid and this way you’ll increase the waxe’s longevity and boost gloss levels too.

Pan TheOrganizer Hey Pan, can we also use a Dual Action polisher with a microfiber pad instead of a foam/sponge pad on our DA polishers? Thanks and great video! :)
Pan TheOrganizer thanks for the video I was using meguiar ultimate liquid wax for couple of years a d my co worker told me about collinite and bought it and love it just one question once I apply and if I wash my car nxt time do I need to apply collinite again after nxt car wash in couple of months
You can apply Collinite once every 2 months to maintain protection.
It would appear the Jescar Powerlock+Paint Sealant is not available in the USA based on the link above. Do you recommend another source?
Pan TheOrganizer I
Thanks for the info Pan. I just finished 3 cars with the products. After 45 years of cleaning and waxing cars this is the best ever.
Thanks for the feedback!
845 is THE most durable wax I’ve ever used. I apply a couple coats right before winter and it will last well into April in New England weather. It will lasts through multiple winter car washes too with incredible beading and gloss. I will never use anything else. The Power Lock sealant is a great addition as well.
I also follow Matt from Obsessed Garage. Great guy and knows his stuff. Thanks for another great product Pan.
Thanks for watching!!
I tried this for the first time yesterday. The vehicle I used it on was a '19 Subaru Forester Premium in blue. After foaming and washing, mech/chem decon.. perfect finish, then the fun began. I've never used an easier product in My life than Power lock +. It was a breeze to apply and remove. Temps were 60*f yesterday. After the wipe off process, I let it cure 3 hours and warmed up the 845. Pretty much did two panels then wiped off. The owner of the car was very pleased! It was a good experience! I'll use it again. Thank You, Pan, and Matt Moreman. Have a good week!
Thanks for your feedback! It's more rare that people use sealant/wax combos these days, but still satisfying to use for sure. A great maintenance topper for this duo is Xtreme Solutions Topper: amzn.to/2Zrkg6d
@@PanTheOrganizer I truly enjoyed applying and removing this combo. It's been raining since Sunday night after I finished it... so I'll see how it is this weekend when I wash it and add another coat of 845. Thanks for replying, Pan, and, for the link for the topper! It felt weird to apply sealant and wax instead of CSL/EXO!!
Great Vid, Pan is the man that got my RUclips detailing obsession started, and OG Matt is simply going to make me go broke lol
😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve used Collinite 845 for awhile and Matt turned me on to Jescar Power Lock +. Now if the weather ever cooperates here in Minnesota I’m going to give my two cars a good spring cleaning. 18” of snow here in the Minneapolis metro area this weekend.👎Thanks Pan! ~Tim~
Yeah we have shitty weather here in Montreal too... :(
Thanks so much. I really like the fact that you take the time to respond to so many posts despite your high number of subscribers. I am a huge fan of your channel. Thanks
Thanks I appreciate it!!
What’s your favourite video on my channel so far?
Really, I too amazed with the response from PAN. Everytime I ask a question and within few hours I got a reply.
Pan you are really a great man.
Excellent combination...I have to say I've tried it before and hated it.. Lots of wax residue that smeared and was difficult to remove... This time I let the Jescar Powerlock cure for 4hrs and I applied the Colinite very thin... What a difference... The vehicle looks amazing.
Truly a great sealant/wax combo... When applied properly...
Yeah you need to let the sealant cure for a few hours. It's so smooth to the touch right?! So slick!
Pan, first of all each of your videos are extremely informative and always have great content. Secondly, would like to see a video that specifically addresses interior and exterior rubber and plastic trim care. Both long term and short term coatings and the advantages as well as disadvantages of each product that you recommend.
Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!
How did you discover my channel?
Hi, Pan! I have been using Collinite 845 for 10+ years and can vouch for the quality and durability of the product. The gloss is outstanding and I won a car show award in part because of the shine that product produced! I have been using a different combination for the last three years and I think it's worth a look. That combination is Griot's Garage Paint Sealant topped with Collinite 845. My rationale is this: Griot's Garage Paint sealant last up to 12 months down here in the South with our heat and sun and has a very high fill power for fine scratches. It gives off a rather bright gloss, but when the Collinite 845 is added, more protection, depth, and a warm glow is left behind. I have been noticing one year + of protection and a reduction in bug adhesion on the front of my car. This combination also works well for those people who aren't comfortable with paint correction and or don't need much. Best regards!
Hi Demetrios! Thanks for your comment and for sharing your experience. I agree, it’s a great product! 👍🏻
Are you Greek? I’m half Greek!
Awesome! Yasou!
Awesome show. Seriously one of the best if not The best on here. Always anticipate the next segment 🤘🏼
Thanks for the vote of confidence!! 👍🏻
FYI on this combo or any polymer or wax, if you live in the salt belt northern states or Canada the first road salting will remove every single last bit of this. I’ve done testing over last 4 winters and the only coating that lasts is a ceramic based, and even that is worn down. Sorry but only good for people that don’t have road salt. I wash and use bead maker and I’m done.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Power Lock as well as taking the time to share in your video. We're excited for a lot of things to change and new things to come with the Jescar brand 😊
It was nice to see Matt in your video... great information!
Thanks! It was nice having another OCD brother make a guest appearance! :)
Thanks for a very helpful tutorial. I just finished a brand new car in my heated garage while 3 inches of new snow fell. A very rewarding day! Thanks
Glad it helped! How did you discover my channel by the way Dave?

Was looking for a way to get started taking care of the first new car we had since a 1972 Pinto, and never had worked with a sealant. I've used Collinite for years on other cars. Now, before putting the cover on my BMW motorcycle for the season, I'll do the same process on it this week. Thanks@@PanTheOrganizer
Great video as always Pan! I had a feeling that Power Lock + would be in this after its win in your awards video, I still need to try it! I also really enjoyed your Wax video just before this, it was very informative and well done!
Awesome thanks!!
Been using this for years now with bead maker as a topper and drying aid... absolutely love it. Especially in winter. It's like nothing sticks to my car.

Nice video! I've been using this combo for a while, and love the results every time
Thanks Stan!
I add monthly applications of bead maker on top of my sealant and carnauba wax. Works great for max hydrophobic properties and helps the sealant last.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Power lock plus and Meguiar's Ultimate Fast Finish work well together also. Scott from Dallas Paint Correction and Auto Detailing did a video on it.
Yup! I follow Scott too. Great detailer!
They are both sealants. How do they work together? I am interested in seeing a combo of ultimate fash finish and the 845.
What about fast finish + 845 ?
Pan “The Man”!!! You are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to detailing cars. Thanks a lot!!!
Hey thanks I appreciate it! 👍🏻. Glad to know you’re enjoying my videos. I’ve been detailing for over 20 years and I like sharing my passion and knowledge with my viewers.
How did you discover my channel?
I was just searching for videos on how to properly detail my car and yours looked interesting.
Cool !!
What country are you watching from? Hello from Canada!
Newbie in detailing here! Ive been hearing a lot of good things about this combo and i am pretty convinced to get this duo for our brand new car. Couple of questions, is there any particular aio (with fillers) that i can use before the jescar? Thanks for the answer.
Following... same situation here, I am very interested in this combo and probably top it off with Beadmaker. Cant wait to see it. Been wondering the same thing since i will be using these onto a brand new car i would not like to shave too much clearcoat. Just minimal and maybe use a glaze with good fillers. and that is where my question is, what glaze or polish with fillers is recommended to use underneath Jescar? hope someone can reply soon....cheers! :)
Last weekend I performed a Jescar power lock + and topped with Ethos ceramic wax the next day, crazy amazing results on a white 2014 RLX hybrid..I am totally pleased!!!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Do you still recommend these two products? Or have you found another combination that you like better since 2018? Also, I noticed on your wax reviews, you sometimes mention/suggest to prep the car for waxing by removing old wax etc. off of the paint. Do you have a video showing this process?
Really enjoy your videos. Especially this one. I have a 2013 Subaru Outback with Subaru’s “charcoal grey” paint scheme. It has over 200,000 miles. After watching your other video on how to clay a vehicle, I gave my Outback its first claying. Afterwards, I applied the Jescar, then the Colinite 845 per Matt’s instructions. WOW! Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the positive feedback Keith! How did you discover my channel by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer I used to detail my car in the 1970s in high school. Always liked being in a clean car even though it was a “beater”. Fast forward to today: I retired from the Chicago Police Department in 2012 and went into the real estate business. Found a real good detailer who’d detail my car before I’d do house showings. One day, the car came without having the usual good detailing. I knew the vendor who supplied my detail shop and picked up the detailing supplies I needed. I returned home and started detailing my car. I felt a strong sense of satisfaction detailing my car-the leather interior glowed and had a wonderful fragrance from the leather oil. The black dashboard looked brand new. It was at that moment I wondered how could I improve my results. I googled auto detailing and “Pan the Organizer” showed up. Your videos are GREAT! A lot of fun to watch and that makes it easier for your audience to listen to your instructions. In addition to the real estate business, I drive for Uber (part-time). Passengers compliment me on the condition of my car. When I tell them it has over 200,000 miles, they react with disbelief. I started to detail some of my Uber passengers automobiles. It’s becoming lucrative and like you, I want to be the best. I tried watching other detailing videos, but yours are the BEST! Do you have a video for wax/sealant removal? After using Jescar/Colonite, I’m getting quite a few inquiries and I want to make sure I know how to remove old sealant and wax. Thanks again!
The only way to ensure 100% removal of any previous protection is by machine polishing.

Actually the video starts at 0:01
🙏 thank you
Pan, I just used the combo and it is the best results I have ever achieved. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for the positive feedback Earl!
Pan, Larry and Matt should make a podcast and maybe a collab doing a wash/detail to X car
That would be so cool Carlos! :)
Pan TheOrganizer it would. You guys seem to be hands down the best within the auto detailing world. The guy from forensics is pretty damn good as well.
I’m ordering both product right now!! I’ll give a try on the SLK as soon Winter is gone!!Just subscribe 2 day ago and so much good video here!! Thanks Mister Pan…From Gatineau, Québec Canada!!
Merci Sylvain!
Comment as-tu découvert ma chaîne?
Pan TheOrganizer je faisais des recherches sur l’entretien des autos. Ce matin je viens de m’apercevoir que tes Québécois 👍 Excellent travail avec les vidéos.
Hi Pan! Very funny timing. I just stripped my ceramic coating last week to replace it with the powerlock + collinite combo. I uploaded a short walkaround video on my youtube channel of how the car looked like with the combo on it, so people can get an idea of what kind of look the products give! Might be interesting to some watching this video!
Thanks Aaron.
Would you say you liked the combo better than the ceramic coating?
You totalled a Mercedes to get a Corolla.. very nice 🤭
Great video Pan. Love your passion for detailing, your equipment its second to none. Love from The Dominican Republic. Big Fan

I've been following your channel for a couple of days now but I really enjoy watching your videos. Great job and thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks Ashley! I appreciate the kind words. What's your favorite video on my channel so far? :)
@@PanTheOrganizerWow. Hey thanks for replying. I think my favourite has to be How to Polish your vehicle. Which coincidentally lead me to this video.
Quick question, I've read that Iron X and a few of these decontamination sprays have ingredients that damage the exterior plastic trims. I'm a bit concerned about this. I normally experiment on my own however this is not something I wish to try (for obvious reasons)
Thanks for the feedback!
To answer your question, I would avoid directly spraying iron removers on plastic trim, but if some overspray lands on them, no worries, it should rinse right off. I have never had issues with iron removers, and CarPro IronX is one of the best ones out there. The tricks with iron removers is to follow directions on the label, most often don't let the product dry and never work in direct sunlight. On average, you let the product dwell for a maximum of 3-4 minutes and then you rinse off with water.
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you so much. I really value your advice. I'm currently watching your 2018 car product awards and noted that you recommend Iron X I got the lemon scent one. Cheers 👍😁
Pan what other top coat would you recommend for Powerlock? Looking for something a little quicker than 845 to top with!
HI Pan,paint sealant and wax combo looks good, ive heard of Collinite 845 and never used it but seen reviews on it.great video.
Thanks Steven! You’d like Collinite if you like a nice wax look.
Good info, I have used Collinite 845 for many years and it will last a Michigan winter with no problem! I'll have to get some Jescar and give it a try.
Don’t forget that insulator wax also has polymers in it as well, this for me is my tried-and-true personal favorite. Back in the early 90s my father brought home the original 845 and said try the stuff son the old hot rodders swear by it. Back in the 90s I didn’t know what I was doing I was only 12 at the time but I enjoyed detailing cars 845 back then had very little information on how to apply it I loved the durability but I would coop back in the 90s I didn’t know what I was doing I was only 12 at the time but I enjoyed detailing cars 845 back then had very little information on how to apply The instructions would talk about electrical insulation and the correct application for that but no paint application or if it was clear coat safe at the time I loved the durability but I would goop 845 on and wonder why the hell would be so hard to get off. I have been doing a personal study on contamination with jet seal and other products and 845 just seems to hold up I noticed when I go to Claybar the car every half a year 845 has asked significant reduced amounts of contamination on the paint versus other products. Now this could be due to the combination of jes car is the basecoat and then I will topcoat that with 845. Thanks Pan for all your great videos!👍🙏
Timboslice cool story bro
Hey, Can the products shown in this video be applied to my rims as well? And 2. - Do i have to wash the car between putting the sealant and the wax, or can i just apply the sealant, let it dry and remove exess with a mircrofiber towel, and then apply the wax right away ?? Great videos Pan!
Great video . It’s great that all my favorite RUclips detail channels are all talking to each other . It just makes the product reviews that much better . Great job !
That’s awesome feedback thanks! Yup, I like to initiate collaborations among the big detailing channels. It’s pretty cool to have guys do guest appearances. :)
Please turn into Paaaaaaan the Organizer.
😂😂
I just applied this combo to my brothers GTI. As for maintaining over the next 5-6 months, you mention in the notes any typical quick detailer. Does this include these 'spray' waxes that have hydrophonic properties, or is that what you talking about? GREAT CHANNEL!!
If you want the best maintenance spray for this combo, use Bead Maker. It will increase gloss and slickness to god level lol. Seriously. Check out my review: ruclips.net/video/J7uc4AlarpU/видео.html
You can use that as a drying aid after maintenance washes.
Thanks for the positive feedback about my channel! How did you discover my channel?
Pan you describe very well and clearly. I want to ask you that what basic tools we should have at our home for making everything easy.?
November here and just went another round of Jescar Power Lock + & Collinite 845. Wanted to get it done before colder weather set in so I’m set for the winter now ;) Pearl white paint color is poppin !
Awesome video and explanation. You already sold me on Collinite #845 earlier this year. I've already did the clay (pad) bar, the compound, then polish. I was getting ready to wax with collinite, when it occured to me to seek your video/advice. Glad I did....I'll have to get a sealant first, so tomorrow will be the soonest. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks for the positive feedback Raymond!
@@PanTheOrganizer just so you know, I've decided to use the turtle wax spray sealant BEFORE the Collinite #845....good/bad idea?
@@PanTheOrganizer You do a great job....deserving of positive feedback. Have a good day.
What’s your favourite video on my channel so far?
@@PanTheOrganizer Not even close....my favorite is the one where you list and show the top products in each category for 2019. The time and attention to detail, the explanation about function and how they work and what they do for the cars finish or interior....had to have taken a LOT of time. That specific video opened a whole new world for me. Because of it, I'm no longer afraid to touch my car, or choose a product because I'm no where near as ignorant as I was.
Hey Pan... It's 08/22/2023. Will Jescar Ultra Lock+ have the same bond with Collinite 845 Insulator Wax as Jescar Power Lock+? Would adding Extremes Solutions Topper have an added value to either combination 1) Ultra Power+ and Collinite 845, OR 2) Ultra Lock+ and Collinite 845? I've also considered just Ultra Lock+ and Extreme Solutions Topper. At 79, I just purchased my last daily driver, a 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (Midnight Black Metallic and Wind Chill Pearl). I've been binge watching your videos in order to find the best combination of products.
Hi Pan! Congrats for your videos!! They are very informative, clear, funny and absolutely amazing!!
I have a question for you, speaking about sealants:
In the case you have applied a ceramic coating on your car, and after one year you want to remove it and re-apply it, in which way do you remove the old one?
Thanks from Italy
Hi Francesco. You don’t remove your coating. If you want to boost gloss and protection, you apply a top-coat booster like CarPro Gliss or Gyeon Booster.
If you absolutely want to remove the coating, good luck, you’ll have many hours of heavy machine polishing to do...
Sir ,I'm a big fan of you,I learned a lot from your videos.
My car is Honda civic and it is weekend driven , parked outside.
My question on washing is:-
How often one should wash the car ,I mean a week ,a month ?? Does frequently washing a car makes some areas/panel rusty/corrosion in long run in a vehicle?
plz reply I have many mixed answers on that.
You can wash your car as often as you like. I wash mine twice weekly. What you should do is have rustproofing applied to your car and also apply paint protection like wax, sealant or ceramic coating on your paint.
Good day Pan. I have been detailing cars for about a year now and still learning a lot from your videos. Thanks again. When I detail cars, I always put my wax and top it off with a sealant (Adam’s Buttery wax / Turtle wax seal and shine). In this video you put your sealant first. Should we do the same for all the products or just with this combo (Power Lock / Colonite Wax)
Thank you very much
You would always apply the paint sealant first, regardless of the brand. The idea behind this is that you want the most durable protection as a base layer of protection first. Paint sealants last way longer compared to waxes. And then, you finish with the wax on top, as carnauba based waxes typically offer a nicer, warmer glow/gloss to the finish, and nice slickness, so you get the beauty product on top. Every few months, you reapply a layer of wax as needed.
Pan based on this video I have applied to my new Tesla Model 3. Looks great. Besides using a quick detailer, do you recommend using any type of spray wax or other product between washes?
You can apply thin layers of Meguiar’s X-Press Synthetic spray wax after each wash.
Great video pan
I have a question:
Can we apply this wax and selant over the ceramic coating? Tks so much
No. It's not recommended to apply regular waxes and sealants over ceramic coatings, as you would be masking the superior performance and properties of the ceramic coating.
Well, After weeks of watching Pan Pan videos on detailing and a newbie gal at wanting to keep her new 2021 Honda Pilot exterior in new condition herself as a DIY’r I was about to go with Turtle Wax. Butttt the verdict is in and I opted for this combo along with P&S Beed Maker for a topper after each wash. Following you from Virginia Pan:) Thanks for all the videos! Tough decision on what to go with as the market contains a lot of detailing products these days and is flooded with options.
Thanks! Hopefully I can help my viewers to make better purchasing decisions and keep you all updated on the latest trends and products releases in the detailing world.
Hey Pan would the spray wax go on after I’ve buffed and removed the collinite haze? Or would I use the spray wax on the hazed collinite? Thanks for the great video just Subbed!
After applying Collinite, you buff it like any wax. You wait one week, then you wash your car again, that will remove the oils that have risen to the surface of the wax. Then you can apply a spray wax (or even better, Bead Maker) on top.
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you 🙏
I have used this combo with great results. I apply in the spring and it last for months. The question I have is when you reapply later in the year do you have to start with polish or can you go right to the sealant and wax process.
I would start fresh, as the vehicle will likely need decontamination (iron removal, clay bar), so might as well follow up with a light polish, IPA wipe, and reapply a fresh layer.
But if the protection hasn't all faded away and is in decent condition, you could, in theory, wash the car, use an iron remover, rinse and dry it, and apply a fresh layer.

@@PanTheOrganizer I found your web site while looking for info on car detaining. I started out watching the junk man. Thanks for the info just another question. Does claying and polishing the car twice a year hurt the clear coat or paint
I’ve been using the insulator wax since the 90’s! I keep going back to it after all the others!
👍🏻
Hi Pan! Very good and informative video! In the comments section you've mentioned that sealant lasts 6-8 months under wax if properly maintained. I have a small question - what is the "best" way to reapply sealant after 6-8 month? Is it good idea to use some kind of 'car erasers' and IPA to remove previous leftover of sealant and wax? Great channel!
Yes a full decontamination and IPA prep is a great way to ensure you wax and sealant will bond better to the paint and also last longer.
Hey pan, keep up the great work man! Is the jescar powerlock + the same as menzerna powerlock? If you would apply collinite once every 2 months for maintanence, do you need to polish again or something like that?
Yeah both are pretty much the same. Jescar is the American importer of Menzerna products.
Paint protectants don’t protect against swirls and scratches. So if your paint requires polishing will depend on you using safe washing and drying techniques to minimize the chances of swirls and scratches.
Yiasoo Pandelis! Is this still your eyes the "best of both worlds" or has something new come along to replace either of these fine products? Thanks so much for all the great videos, too!!
I actually just saw a recent response to this question, so thanks for the update!
Yasou John! I hope you are doing well.
The isolator wax is great on black cars. I use it on my Benz, Bentley and BMW it's a great product.
I agree!
Hey, Pan, I have followed you for a while now and clean my car with the steps you have shown via the YourTube channel.
Personally, I do not challenge what you recommend and this video is no exception. I have purchased both products and looking forward to using these.
Thank you as always for your honest and transparent product reviews. Keep up the great work, brother.

Has your opinion changed on this combo?? I feel like even though Collinite Wax is old school-it’s still such a great competitor with newer, more advertised brands?? I just ordered the Jescar power lock plus…and I’m excited to try the pair together -
For a regular sealant and wax combo, it's hard to beat. The Turtle Wax ICE Seal N Shine topped with ICE Spray Wax would now give this a run for its money, at a lower price, but yeah it's still relevant.
My favorite liquid waxes and sealants are in this recent video: ruclips.net/video/yuHqg-AbtdI/видео.html
I’ll try it for sure , currently testing Fusso Coat , king of gloss and McKeeys Hydro blue SIO and I swear water just flys off the car. Went to a bakery to grab some goodies for the kids , it’s raining outside several weeks after applying Hydro Blue , which was several weeks after applying king of gloss , which was several weeks after applying fusso coat. Yeah I know , anyhow the Hydro Blue is amazing stiff but it will streak when you put it on dry so best to apply wet. I’ll probably buy the gallon concentrate and play around with different concentration levels to see what I get.
Technically, you shouldn't mix SiO2 based products with waxes or sealants...
If you want the best hydrophobics, than nothing beats a true ceramic coating. Way superior in water beading and sheeting than Fusso Coat or any other sealant or wax. Watch my tutorial on coatings here: ruclips.net/video/byKcYsEyWGk/видео.html
Very helpful video! Would you recommend using Jescar’s similar product “Ultra Lock +” in the same way? Or is there something unique about Power Lock + that makes it more bondable with Collinite 845 over Ultra Lock +?
Yes you would use the Ultra Lock+ the same way. The difference is that the new formula now has a bit of ceramic in the sealant too.
But I'm not sure I would apply a regular carnauba based wax like Collinite on top of Ultra Lock+.
Hi Pan. Thanks for this video. Would you still prefer Ceramic coating over this combination of sealant and wax? I ask because I’m close to pulling the trigger on getting my car’s paint corrected, along with XPel PPF added to front portion of car (bumper, fenders, mirrors), then having Opti-Coat Pro+ add to entire car. I’d really appreciate your insight. I respect your opinion. What’s your take on Opti-Coat vs Ceramic Pro? I understand one is SiC and the other is SiO2. The properties of SiC seem to be more appealing. My apologies for the lack of brevity. Thank you.
Hi Mike. I would alway prefer a ceramic coating over a wax/sealant combo. In fact, if you watched my own brand new car full detail video (BMW M550i 2018) you'll see I chose a ceramic coating (three layers actually lol). Here: ruclips.net/video/dsCmJJDP3xo/видео.html
In your case, Opti-Coat Pro+ is the way to go. I've done videos with Yvan Lacroix, global training director for Optimum products, and I know just how insane their lineup is. ;)
Boss ur videos r really superb n clear instructions for a hobby detailer too...who is not professionally doing it. I wud suggest always giv little practical demo too.like fr how to apply paint sealant dos n donts n thn wax ...to sho results..thnks.
Hi Pan, I’m a fan of ceramic coating, but also love spending the time to apply the Power Lock/Collinite 845 for the incredible results. But my question is, if something like TW SnS or TW CSC can last 3-6 months or 6-12 months by easily spraying on and wiping off, would it still be beneficial in any way to spend the time to apply Power Lock/Collinite 845 as far as durability and longevity is concerned? Thanks for all the content and information Pan!
Some people like the gloss of Collinite and the slickness of Power Lock. That’s a great combo. But yes things evolve and I’d go for one of those two Turtle Wax products as they are quicker to apply and offer better chemical resistance.
Hi Pan, love this combo. which polish( or finish polish) would you recommend before this Jescar/Collinite? , car is white well maintained and has little to no swirls etc..
Sonax Perfect finish polish.
Awesome video, Pan! Correct me if I'm wrong, but to apply this you'll clay the car, polish, apply powerlock and wait 30 minutes, remove the powerlock and wait 3 hours for a full cure time and then apply 845. Sound right?
Absolutely correct Hayden. If you polish, don’t forget to remove the polishing oils with an IPA wipe before applying the sealant.
Pan TheOrganizer Of course! Sorry, I forgot that step. I'll be using CarPro Eraser for that. Thank you sir, keep up the great videos.
Thanks Hayden! :)
Hi Pan, great video's !! What's your recommendation for cars that don't see rain/snow. It's just a car that only sees sun? Still these two products?
Yup.
I have some 845 that just came in the mail. I can't wait to try it out. I'll have to pick up some power lock soon to try the combo. You should do a test on the poorboys world product line. I bought their white diamond glaze and it really makes my paint shine, their wheel cleaner works great too!
Thanks Anthony!
some nice presentations, I gotta see if these products are available in my store and try them out. As always - great videos Pan !
Going to buy this combo for my upcoming detail on my A6. I ordered a Makita po5000cx1 buffer, I think I will enjoy. I saw Bryan from Apex Detail do a review on this same combo.
Thanks pan, I just bought the power lock polymer sealant.
I found it on amazon here in the uk for £15.95 with free shipping
Awesome! Let me know what you think once you've applied it and have been through a week or two of having it on! :)
I'm going to try jesscar power lock plus when i finish my turtle wax ice seal n shine. Going to see how ice seal n shine and collinite combo turns out! thanks pan
Ive been using Jescar (formerly Menzerna) for about 7 years now. I have never felt the need to try anything else. Good stuff
After 6 months do you do the power lock and wax again or just the wax?
I would do both at that point.
Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on RUclips as we surpassed 1 million subscribers and we have over 140 million views! I have been detailing for 27 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
Thanks Pan, Both of the products that your showing just arrived.
Thanks John!
Are these difficult to clean off your DA pads? Once you use a pad for either of these, are they forever left for use with only these products or are they able to be cleaned off?
Thanks for this video. Have you found a way to remove Jescar (Power Lock +) from plastic trim? Some time ago I applied Jescar to all surfaces (paint and plastic) of my Crosstrek, but subsequently found that it left a mottled white smear on the plastic parts, especially the rough plastic like the rear bumper cover. I've tried several solvents, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, does it work with matte black stripes or should I mask them with tape before applying? thanks for the great content.
You can wax over them, but they will be glossier.
Do you think this is a good combo for blk/dark colors? If not what else o you suggest
Hi Pan, thanks for all the great videos. I'm wondering what your opinion on this combo is, now that all the new ceramic/sio2 products are out? I too was thinking of buying this combo after a decon/correction, but am thinking of trying out Turtle Wax Show and Shine after seeing your durability test results, and especially the significantly lower cost. Thanks for your time! Coming from a fellow Canadian :)
Oh and also, I just saw that Jescar released Ultra Lock +. Pan, are you planning on testing that? I'd also be curious to know if that would go well with Collinite 845.
Hi Pan,
I love your product reviews, after watching your video I brought these 2 items too protect my car for the next few months 👍
Menzerna - Power Lock Ultimate Protection
Collinite 845 insulator wax
What’s your thoughts on also applying a ceramic coating after applying the above products?
I have also brought drexler ceramic coating 2 part treatment.
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Dave from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Hi Dave. We don’t mix ceramic coatings with sealants or waxes.
Hi Pan, OK, thanks for the advise, I will go for normal wax until next year and then do wax strip and do Ceramic in the spring 👍
Thanks again,
Dave
Not sure if you will see this, I'm planning on trying this out, been a Collinite user for 10+ years and really like their stuff. My question is when you mix tow products like this, and 6-9 months down the road you need to re apply, which one do you do, do you have to strip everything off and start over or can you put the Jesscar over whatever is left of the 845 on the paint. I'm sure it won't be all off. So if you could comment on how you would approach this , thanks
I am anal about things like this so I would use a stripping shampoo and start fresh. New layer of Power Lock and top layer of Collinite.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks, I will have to look for this stripping shampoo, I have never used one
Matty is what got me back into detailing, now I'm a mobile detailer , great video pan I prefer this method over coatings IMO. I'm also a huge fan of esoteric they turned detailing into an Art.
Yup two great RUclips channels too!
Hi Pan, do you still think this is the best combo in 2022? Thanks
No. The longest lasting regular paint sealant is the one I reviewed here: ruclips.net/video/paTINH-wLr0/видео.html
This is what I shall try thanks for the combo info. Should I clay my paint before doing this?
Yes. Always prep your paint properly before applying waxes or sealants or coatings.
Here’s my wax application tutorial: ruclips.net/video/KZjiPcsPBrA/видео.html
Hi Pan, great video. I used CH Blacklight and am wondering do I need to do IPA wipe then put on the PowerLock + and 845, or can I just go directly to the PowerLock + and 845?
Go directly to both.
@@PanTheOrganizerWill do, thanks!
How often do you reapply and at what intervals? Will Powerlock work on top of a weathered 845 or must you strip? I am looking to use these in the future and top with bedmaker but would like to know what the regimen looks like for the months ahead as I reapply and maintain. Thanks for the help.
Hey pan great vids! I am new to this so the question is can do I apply collinite 845 after power lock out is it the other way around? Thanks again Pan. Very informative channel
Power Lock first, Collinite 2nd.
Been watching your very useful and informative videos; I am new to washing my car and detailing. If I wash the car after a month of doing the above combination of sealant and wax, do I have to apply them again; what would be the step after pressure washing and drying the car, what should be applied to keep the protection and gloss. Thanks
It depends on which product you applied. Some last 1 month, some last 3 to 6 months. When you see less water beading and slower water sheeting, it means it's time to apply a fresh layer.
For regular washes, to help maintain gloss and slickness until the next time you apply the sealant and wax, you can use a drying aid which will lubricate the surface as you are towel drying the car, and also helps to prevent marring the surface. It will boost gloss and slickness. A perfect companion for this sealant/wax duo is this spray on sealant that you will use as a drying aid: ruclips.net/video/J7uc4AlarpU/видео.html
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
Awesome videos - keep up the great work, Can you use AMMO Reflex first and then this combo for the ultimate protection? Thanks!
Yup. Just like you can top Reflex with Skin and Creme.
Hi PAN...If you have a ceramic coating, would it still be OK to apply POWER LOCK+ & COLLONITE 845 on top ?
No. You don’t apply waxes or sealants on top of ceramic coatings. You need silica spray sealants or sealants (CarPro Reload, The Last Coat, Gyeon Cure, Gtechniq C2V3, Opti-Coat Hyper Seal, Kamikaze Over Coat, etc) that are known to be compatible like Bead Maker.
Hey Pan! I took your advice and ordered this combo! Would Meguiar's fast finish be good as a last product once wax cures? Or is it not necessary with the power lock? Thanks!
That would be too many paint protection products. Pick one sealant to apply first (either Power Lock or Meg's) and finish that off with the Collinite as that gives the best shine and gloss. The base layer of paint sealant is there for long term durability.
Hello Pan . Can the 845 wax be applied over spray sealants such as gtechnique , megs fast finish etc ? If yes , what do you do between washes if you want to top it up ? spray sealant again or paste wax ?
Great timing! Is it okay to apply this Collinite wax every 1-2 months (to clean, resist stain, water spots) and Ultimate Quik Wax every 2 weeks? This Collinite has a lot of positive reviews as well as from you! I have Meguiar's Ultimate Wax (Sealant) + Ultimate Quik Wax. Thank you!
You can apply the Collinite as often as you wish. And you can top it after maintenance washes with any spray wax or quick detailer that you like. :)
Thank you!!!
Do I need a polish before the paint sealant? Also, just so I understand, I should always remove all sealant and old wax before starting a new layering. Thanks. What product would be best for this?
If you like the way your paint looks you can skip the polishing steps. To remove old waxes or sealants, you can start with a stripping soap if you have a foam cannon (like Purple Power Vehicle and Boat Wash) or a stripping shampoo like Adam’s Strip Wash, Chemical Guys clean Slate, etc. Before applying you paint sealant, go over the paint with a paint prep or IPA like CarPro Eraser.
So do you think this would be a good form of protection from harsh desert sun? If not what would be a better? Thanks!
Totally digging the combo, what is a good way to remove paint chips on a plastic bumper for a white car?
Respray the panel if you want perfection. If you’re on a budget, paint touch-ups.
