thinking of switching from #26 to collinite waxes

well guys, i just started my new job at a marina. I get paid pretty good, and we are using the colinitte fleet wax(non abrasive). I must say, its pretty easy to use, and ive been thinking about getting rid of my meguiars #26 and getting some of the collinite d elegance or doublecoat. I already have bf2, klasse aio, and sg for synthetics, but i want something that i can detail my familys cars with fast and easy that lasts long. how would your rate collinite compared to say p21s/s100?

Oh my God, it blows away #26 and will last 50 times longer than P21s.

Hands down the best wax for a non garaged car where you are looking for a wax that will last and last and last even through automatic car washes (should you have to use one).

It's a wonderful product. I use it on white so I can't really comment on its depth, shine etc... except to say the paint looks real nice to me. I'm not too concerned with the look for my non garaged commuter, just protection. You can't beat it for that.

Use a P21s topper and she'll look sweet!

Collinite is hard to find. They make a real nice product especially for fleet vehicles.

thanks how you like the F12x ?? hopefully there wil be alot more mods from rivayamaha this summer scince the ski has been tested and gutted a little now after its day view

#930 Jet Craft Wax

This special, heavy duty, detergent proof formulation provides a very high gloss, almost indestructible protective coating for personal watercraft and jet boats. It insulates the surface against the adhesion of foreign elements and assures full protection against deterioration, sun, rain, salt spray and exhaust stains. Increases speed and reduces fuel costs.

hmm i looked at that and i see increases speed and reduces fuel costs how does it do that by reduceing wind friction water friction ??? or is it just a joke ?

i like mine, blows all the skis off of this lake on lake st clair, have 103 hrs on it, very happy(eventually ill mod once warranty is up). I have no clue what that jet craft wax does, probably just like the other collinite waxes, but hey, only way youll know is if you try. The #885 fleetwax is very easy to use, and its nonabrasive, so use a cleaner/polish first.

al probley just AIO and then S100 my GPR when i get it that should last a while when you dont ride in the ocean

If any of you are interested in the Collinite de Elegance I have some that I have only used twice that I would be willing to swap out or sell ....just any kind of reasonable trade or offer. I also have way too much DACP and would trade some of it as well.

Hey Abercrombie it's too bad you haven't used P21S/S100 also. The last time I read a can of Fleetwax it said to simply apply and buff off right away I think, just like P21S/S100 right? Do you find it "easy"?

hondaguy2582 · 05-13-03, 05:09

its easy to wipe on and off, very nice shine.

Abercrombie:

I wrote a summary of #476 in the Review Section. I have now had the chance to use S100 for the last two months and it is much, much easier to work with than the Collinite. Now, I must admitt that when I used#476--the weather was in the low 40's and breezy--probably not the best time to apply it.

I hope to give it a second try soon. I do think it is very durable. I put it over Meguiars #20 polymer sealant and it made it through the winter without any troubles.
