Collinite

Is it Collin, like the name?

or

Colon, like the part from a persons body?

Thanks all!

It's a actually, Colounite. Like if you were serving very fine cognac.

Lol. Yea I'm kidding.😂
I thought you might sound silly actually trying to pronounce that to a customer. Lol.

•Since collinite is, technically speaking: Coal maceral
{maceral is a microscopic organic component
of coal...but don't concern yourself with this detail}...

-I'll go out on a limb and say that "o" in Collinite—the
car-care product Brand—is more correctly pronounced
the same way as the "o" in coal; that is, to actually
say: Coal-(l)in-night.

That's how I say it.

[Eldorado2k]

So I was right😏lol

[willowcat11]

Thanks guys! That clears that up. I never felt right saying it either way, knowing I didn't know how to say it. I can say it with some confidence now.


Peace!

Collinite was founded by Charles Collins, so I personally pronounce it as an extension of his last name.

Omg, really? Just use it. :doh:

I'm kidding, NOT!:props:

Go wax something, you have too much time on your hands.

Now if the ? had been how to pronounce Rupes, that would be a different story. LOL.

Plot twist: The "C" is silent.

...ollinite.

Because it would take "All of night" to remove if you apply too thick.

Just call it by number and sound like a pro.

If you're Italian, it is pronounced Co-lee-NEE-tay.
