    Breaking the Collinite Myth: 915

    I've been reading for a few years Collinite Waxes last forever, but are hard to remove and works with.



    So today in using 915 for the first time and nothing is easier to remove. It may not spread as easy as super oily waxes, but removal is effortless.

    It's very similar to Bilt Hamber Finis

    I agree. I used it for the first time a few weeks ago. Temps were in the mid 40s. Thought it was gonna be much harder to remove but it came off easily. I did however only apply one section at a time.

    I agree Steve. I think the main problem is that it get over applied.

    I did one section at a time the 1st time I used it, easy on and easy removal. Then the next time out I applied it to the entire car, once again, easy removal. Finally I tried something else, applied to the entire car and it sat on the car for a little over an entire day, guess what, came right off. The thing that's said about this wax is how it looks but many also report long durability as well, a win win!

    This is good to know. It's funny, I wonder if some are scared off by Collinite's own product selector guide because their 1-6 ease of use scale gives 915 and 476 a 5 and 6 respectively.

    Re: Breaking the Collinite Myth: 915

    I think the key to using 915 is to apply it very thin and do one panel at at a time. I do one panel and move onto the second.

    I immediately go back and remove the first panel as it has already started to haze.

    Never had a problem with removal of 915 with this method.

    For sure Pat, "thin is in" but that's the case with every product out there. Can't really say there's a product out there that says to "lay it on thick for best results", LOL!

    Re: Breaking the Collinite Myth: 915

    OP: What was the temp when you applied the 915?

    I applied 845 this weekend in temps that were in the low 60's. While not being difficult to apply/remove, I did notice it wasn't nearly as easy when temps were much warmer. Did you experience similar?
