Default Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax

So apparently the Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax 845 has been getting great reviews over on autopia and autogeek for a while now. And it lasts for over 4 months. Sounds like it's underratted. I'm adding it to my autogeek purchase.

Any one try it here?

I have a bottle . . . very good stuff.

I've never been one to observe durability, but this wax did seem to last longer than others. It also makes flake pop out much more than a typical wax. One thing to note is that it can be a bear to remove if you lay it on thick.

Overall, I found it to be a very under rated wax looks wise.

PITA. For a liquid I prefer Clearkote Carnauba Moose Wax

This is the sole liquid wax I own, and have observed ~5+ months in Toronto fall/winter weather.

I've always applied this via PC@3, and this is simply one of the quickest liquid waxes to apply. (aside from the wipe-on-wipe off). In my experience, I've found that this wax is #1 in the "Efficiency in application to net result" category.

My method of application:
- Spread dabs of wax on each panel of the car
- Run machine over the entire car, with no need to stop the machine
> Process is done in 5 minutes.

Via hand, I just keep the applicator moist with a spray bottle of water, to help keep the layers thin. Easy on, easy off; no fuss.


And in the end, you end up with Collinite's trademark tight, plentiful water beads.

Like BMWWW... it is currently my wax of choice for ease of application removal in the sun. I still prefer natty blue for a deeper wet look, but collinite is easier to apply/remove and lasts longer.

-Apply with PC for a nice thin layer (I only put 3 small drops of wax on the pad and use that til it stops applying wax to car before adding more)

-buff with MF (comes off real easy)

I've seen it last on a friend's car for 4 months through winter.

That is a great wax, one of the most sold in the Collinite line.

I think im going to buy a bottle and try

5 layers of SG
2 layers of Collinite
2 layers of P2S1


I wonder if this will bond to wheel wax or vice versa. I know wheel wax has some cleaners so it might take the collinite off. What do you guys think?

Oh, and the Collinite goes a loooooong way, you need very little for the entire care. And I mean the entire car, glass, windows, headlights, taillights, sunroof, ect...

Don't bother with 2 layers of wax, you're just wasting it.

I just used the Collinite on my girls Mini and my friends Berlina over Jeffs/Klasse SG, OMFG!!! Awesome Awesome wax. Goes on with ease and comes off with ease, super easy as a matter of fact for both application and removal. Very nice shine and gloss.
nice, i just want to see if the extra wax will make a difference
