So i've been using Collinite ever since last winter, and we all know that it is tremendously durable, cheap and has a great shine. But what i'm wondering is what is in this stuff that makes it so great? I mean if this one company is making a product that can last against road salt, why aren't there products with this kind of durability?

Besides the usual proprietory ingredients [(this is a major fallicy, in my view point, because a good chemist can sometimes "find out" what is hidden from us laymen---we should know what's in there)] that most brands have in them, a lot of the Collinite products have the petroleum distillate DX 3641 Naptha (for 845), and Morpholine---a proven rust inhibitor.

Why others don't have these specific ingredients depends, IMO, what the chemists/blenders have been told to formulate within certain guidelines (costs of chemicals and their purity/percentage; what the objectives are...shine vs. durability) to name a few.

Just my thoughts.

I forgot to Thank Bobby for recommending this product to me in my last post . I was asking all kinds of questions on what to buy and he was kind enough to suggest Collinite 845 and I am very very happy with the results .

Collinite should be paying Bobby for the amount of business they get from his recommendations, IMHO.:laughing:

How long between coats? I just ordered my first bottle and I am looking forward to the results.

Let the 1st coat of 845 cure for 9 - 12 hrs at least.

So Collinite 845 is better than DP? Durability, shine and slickness? If so, I know what my next wax will be!

definately durability, i have not used DP, but i have not found anything that lasts as long as Collinite, with a very nice warm carnauba shine.
