Re: I just ordered Vintage

ron231- Heh heh, if I had Vintage on something, there's no way that *I* would be experimenting with Collinite on half of it But I *would* like to know how they compare.

I ran the Collinited Blazer through a touchless the other day, and it didn't quite shed all the dirt in places where I'd allowed it to build up and get firmly adhered (*very* dirty vehicle gets wet, gets even dirtier, dries in sun, repeat, etc.). But the last time I refreshed said Collinite was back at the end of May and maybe 85% of it did come clean.

SuperBee364- See how spoiled I am by Collinite's durability- I'm disappointed when it doesn't act 100% freshly-waxed after four months of hard use.

I'm a little confused here....sounds like the Vintage lasts longer on the Sequoia than on your MOPAR Is it the difference in wash regimens?

Yeah, with my water there's no way I can do a completely touchless job; I'd have spotting. And the Jag holds water in all sorts of places anyhow, takes me forever to get it completely dry and I sure don't want to leave water trapped anywhere on *that* car.

Me either, I can't do it at my new/current shop ...just the way the water pressure and my sillcocks/spigots render the flow. Worked well at my previous place though.
