Collinite Beading

Hey TexasTB, Great video. Thank you for sharing. That is some great action you got going on there and I noticed that the shine is still there too. I will give it a go as soon as I can. I probably would have bet against you and lost...seeing is believing...I believe

 

Nice video, TexasTB. I also have Collinite 885, which I plan to apply as soon as the weather permits.

 

Has anybody tried 885?

 

Awesome beading, very nice!

 

AFAIK, 885 and 476 are the same wax - just different packaging. It is also sold as 900 and 238.

MSDS for 476/885/900/238

 

i wonder if result would be different if you put 915 on top coat since its a wax and not selant? 845 should be on bottom right since its a selant?

 

I think 845 should on top because it's more oily than the other Collinites.

 

shouldn't 845 be on the bottom because it contains synthetic waxes and 915 be on top because it has carnauba waxes?

 

Considering the amount of naphtha (aka white gas or Coleman fuel in Canada) in the various Collinite waxes (just check the MSDS sheets), it really does not matter which one goes on first or last. The naphtha, in the fresh coat of LSP that you rub around with an applicator, will dissolve the minuscule ~20 micron thick dried coat that is left behind from the first coat after removing the excess wax, and mixes it up with whatever you are putting on top and then it re-solidifies. Once dry, you again wipe off the excess, just like the first time, leaving behind the same measly ~ 20 to 22 micron, but now blended, wax/sealant coating.

The first coat might be uneven and so a second coating helps even this layer out... additional coats simple get wiped off as the maximum coating you are going to get is around that 20 to 22 micron, or thereabouts, thickness.

I love the Collinite waxes as well as M16 from Meguiars, but I have zero illusions about any of these products "layering" on top of any other wax or sealant that can be dissolved with naphtha , ipa, paint thinners or other common wax solvents.
