    Question What is Considered a Dark Clear Coat?

    Looking at picking up some Collinite 840. It states on the bottle not for Dark Clear Coats. What is considered a dark clear coat??? Thanks.

    •Dark CCs?
    -I've run across some tinted CCs
    that'll leave some "kinda dark"
    buffing residue on the pads.

    •Collinite also talks about/describes
    Light-colored clear coat paints as being:
    White and Silver.
    -I've really never noticed silver buffing
    residue before.


    •When it comes to "paint colors":
    -I'll wager they are talking about the
    BC (color coat) of a BC/CC paint system.

    •If still unsure:
    -Give them a call
    -Don't use it

    I wouldn't use that product...as much as I love some Collinite products, their abrasive products are old school from before clearcoats. If you wanted to use 840 on single-stage or gelcoat or something like that, go ahead, but there's a dozen other products...maybe 2 dozen, that I'd use before 840.

    Oh wait--it says this right on the AG product page: "*Note: Collinite Liquid Sapphire PreWax Cleaner #840 is formulated for single stage, enamel, and lacquer paint finishes. For clear coat paint, use Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion."

    Yes skip the 840, I have it and use it on old single stage white paint, but that's about it. I've since moved on to Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing lotion and its great.
