I thought autobalm would do better since I see most of you guys use it as LSP, luckily I didn't buy it yet..haha
I am waiting for Ken to bring in the collinite 845

I am waiting for Ken to bring in the collinite 845 | haha beading isn't everything. It's hard to beat collinite when it comes to beading. They're known for great durability, cost efficiency and what not. You only see mostly Bilt Hamber Autobalm being frequently used here because most people that post details here buy from Ken. Ken luckily supplies AB since it's a great product that works and isn't to expensive. But if you look on other detailing forums, there really isn't a wax that everybody uses. Honestly for the average person me included, it's hard to tell the difference in looks between waxes. So Collinite 845 will do just fine for everybody. Plus 845 is dead easy to apply and quicker. With Collinite 845 you can go around and do the entire car and let it sit over night and buff off the next morning. Where as AB you have to apply super thin and need to buff it off at the right time. Otherwise its a pain taking it off.

I have never use paste wax before, that's why I might get collinite 845. I might also consider Duragloss 601 and 105 too.
