What Collinite wax?
« on: 01 March 2009, 17:19 »
Getting fed up with my Meguiars liquid wax, doesn't last as long as it should, I've heard Collinite is the way too go, a few questions for you detailers :)

1. Which one to go for? http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=collinite&osCsid=7180de7ce3fac70a479f9c3d790dc83c&x=0&y=0

2. How long roughly does it last?

3. How much to apply?

4. Is is easy to apply and/or buff off?

Cheers guys.

915 FTW

lasts an absolute life time - i waxed my car around September last year and only now its gone! 

you only need a very small amount and apply in thin layers - allow to haze and then buff off

2 coats of it should see you through at least 3 months as long as you wash fairly regularly

HTH

I have some 476 which gets 2 coats 1 day and 2 coats the next and lasts for ages (and i dont even wash my car properly  :lipsrsealed:)
I might give some 915 a go?? (black is a bad bad colour for shine!!)

Cheers Rhyso, sounds really good, that kit that's £25, with 2 pads and microfibre clothes, worth getting?

I'll give mine a good spanking on Friday I reckon, so long as the weather is good, can I ask, when you say two layers of the wax, are you supposed to leave it a certain amount of time before buffing off and reapplying?
