Breaking the Collinite Myth: 915

[swanicyouth]

915 isn't bad if machine applied, but applying by hand I have difficulties with it. It's hard to get an even thin coat without a machine and it will get hard quick.

Really? Maybe the product is slightly different I'm using. The 915 I have spreads velvety smooth. Maybe they have tweaked it.

The pic of the rear fender flare says it all for me.
Gonna lay it down on the Regal sometime soon... maybe even Ol' Blue.
I need to stop ordering stuff and NOT using it.

WoW! I have had the 915 for a couple months now and haven't even used it because I was waiting to get a couple 3" pads to apply with DA because off the talk from some here.

Last night I decided to try by hand on my just washed DD, a dark grey Corolla. I used BnS red foam applicator. The ease of application HONESTLY was the easiest to spread out, took so little I didn't even make a dent. I did the entire car then dressed my tires. I then wiped off all panels with no effort at all, it just cleaned right off. It was late at night and the temp must have been around 50° .
I had used Megs gold paste before, but that only happened once because I hated the process by hand and to top that it was dusty on removal. Now this morning I noticed that glow from 915, it added depth and just looks like it has a layer of glass, Megs just doesn't compare.

Only complaint I have is not jumping on 915 sooner!

How exactly do you get a pad into the small cicumference opening of the can of #915? I'm sorry you've had issues when applying by hand but its just never been a problem for me. Could weather conditions be an issue, maybe?

I may have over applied because the vehicle I applied it to could've benefitted from a cleaner wax after I clayed it. It was really sticky applying it and the foam applicator wanted to fold up a lot.
When using a machine, I get a butter knife a scoop a small amount on the pad and wipe it on like you would butter toast.

The one quality worth mentioning that I have found with any of the Collinite Paste Waxes, is that if you are not a professional, and not applying such waxes on a regular basis on a multitude of vehicles, you will have a can of Collinite for a very long long time.

This is true for #845 as well, I've had my bottle for about 4 years now.

Do you heat up the container a bit Killa, just curious? I think your onto something about the why its a little harder to remove for you, me on the other hand, well, I layer a lot, which is probably why I have never had an issue applying/removing anything, LOL!

Here is what I use to get into the small opening of the 915:

LC 3' Crimson Hydrotech pad

Yet another use for the GG 3" RO!

That's a HT 3" pad??? Mine look different. I have that pad in both heights. It looks like your edges are beveled - but mine are 90 degrees.
