How does KAIO/AJT/collinite sound?

I don`t believe that the Collinite will bond well with the AJT.

**Accumulator** · 06-27-2007, 05:26 PM

I`ve never tried the ATJ :nixweiss

But generally I wouldn`t expect bonding issues with 845. I`ve used it over various things and it always worked fine.

I figured since the earlier threads had people using KAIO/KSG/collinite I wanted to try the same except substitute AJT for KSG. Has anyone else tried this?

I can`t help but wonder if it`s worth the bother to have a durable sealant under the Collinite. Collinite (especially the 476S paste) protects so well that I wouldn`t see any benefit from having a single layer of sealant under it. And I`d expect the appearance to reflect the Collinite, not anything under it (but that`s just a guess).

I`d AIO/etc. to clean then put some Collinite on. Then apply more Collinite after each of the next few washes. Then just wash for a while. Then, when the beading starts to drop off, clay with Sonus green and reapply Collinite.

What the deal with VOC? It seems like its a better product but being a noob I have know idea why. Splain?

FYI: One thing I got from an email from Collinte`s CS is 845 & 925 are the same products and 476 & 885 are the same products.

No real point in wondering about VOC regs, it`s a true case of no point in fighting city hall. In direct comparisons, the pre/post-VOC reg 845s perform identically anyhow.

Thanks, I figure it was something that I really didn`t need to know.

Exactly what I`ve been telling people about IW since I started using it!

nice revue; agree with all. the collinites are fine products

personally, i have switched over to the collinites ( used to use #16; still like it and use it but have leaned towards the collinites) for my winter wax for those harsh ny/penn winters. i use the 845 followed by the 476 ( some use 476 followed by 845 claiming one gives a wetter look. maybe ? haven`t really considered it. at most i would think the differences are negligible) about late october/early november put on by machine after a good wash,clay,and polish. get all winter out of them, usually lasting until march or even april. that is some durability. unless i get one of those "balmy" winter days of mid to high 50s in january /february, i leave the cars alone and don`t wash them. hasn`t hurt them a bit and they look fantastic again after a full detail in the spring.

only criticism of the collinites is it smells like dung but judging from how they work, i guess i`m going to have to deal with that.
