ahaydock Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hi, with Collinite there is no need to wax weekly. You may even get away just a few times a year - very durable stuff. As for application obvioulsy make sure the car is clean, then I apply with a application pad such as this or this. Allow it to haze then lightly buff with an Microfibre cloth. You don't need much either, so apply thinly. I would also apply two coats but allow 24 hours in between (that may mean a re-wash). I put two coats of Colly 915 on 3 months ago and it is still beading up nicely. For me I reapply every few months and find it fine. It may also be worth getting some QD Spray to lube the towel first and plus you can use the spray should you have problems with removal. I use these: Megs Last Touch and CG SmartDetail. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssFour Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 [ QUOTE ] then I apply with a application pad such as this or this. [/ QUOTE ] There are better applicator pads out there. The megs ones just absorb the wax, resulting in wastage. There are pads available in the UK that ensure the wax is not soaked in, providing even distribution and little wastage through abosrbing the wax. See if you can get hold of something like this: I think Wolfgang to a similar product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] No, not with Collinite !,....every two or three months should be fine. I have Collinite on my GTI and use Megs Last Touch as a drying aid after each wash and this works a treat .

[/ QUOTE ] You can use the wax as often as you want to, like alot of waxes it lasts a long time so dont need to do it every week!! Heat, enviromental conditons and fall out will effect how long or effective the product is for you. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
