Breaking the Collinite Myth: 915

[Leadfootluke]

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

It is poured in limited batches, so there could be slight differences. I think a lot of it has to do with the applicator and paint surface.

I agree with you on the paint thing, but I think the manufacture of 915 is only limited to how much they think they can sell.

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.

Yep Steve its a 3" HT pad.

I know the 4" pads are a straight cut

Can't to tap the block of wax out of the pot? I've done that with other paste waxes when I feel like applying it via machine.

I apply any solid Collinite product by hand but spread it using a PC and it does spread a long, long way.

Using a microfiber (or cotton) applicator of your choice, load it up (sparingly) as you would if you were going to apply it by hand & spread it by hand in a small 8" x 8" area. You're doing this just to transfer a small amount from container-to-surface and then let your PC do the work.

I've used a red LC pad or a black LC pad with PC on 3 and the product just spreads & spreads and spreads. As someone else said, "thin is in" and this will make removal so much easier. I found it difficult to put down a consistently thin layer by hand, some spots buffed off easily when applied by hand and others ..... not so much.

2 layers (just because I'm anal & don't want to miss a spot) of 476 have lasted through Western New York winters for over the last 8 years. Great stuff.

No, my 3" HT pads are straight cut. Weird.

Wonder if they are older. I got mine from DI

NYV6, are you saying 2x's for each winter or 2x's have lasted 8 NY winters, LOL!

I know the machine lays it down better than doing it by hand, maybe the titanium in my shoulder makes me kinda like The Terminator because I lay it down, let it haze and remove it easily.

I wish 2x lasted 8 winters but then I wouldn't be here to read about (and buy) new products.

I figure I bought the PC to save wear 'n tear on my "getting older & creekier day-by-day" joints, especially my elbows which suffer from golf-induced tendonitis .... so let it do the work.

I guess your titanium Terminator shoulder likes to "vax on .... vax off" like Mr Miyagi.

There's a lip to prevent it from accidentally from falling out. Some people like to use a can opener for the bottom and pull it out that way.
