Colinite as a replacement for a polly?

As a nice jesteure for my brother I buffed out his Saturn with the rotary and a yellow LC pad and FPII.



Worked very nice.



Applied RMMG by PC with a white pad



Then followd with Colimnite insulator wax.





I think that this is going to the new regimne. You get nice glaze oils and then seal it in with the Colinite. Then if you wanted to you add another like NB or PW.





EDIT: Sorry I am on medication that makes me sleepy at bed and loosens my mood when that happens my spelling and typing switch too.
 
Everytime you use the term "polly" it reminds me of the old Blue Coral polymer sealant which had the bird on the bottle (Polly). circa 1981. A guy a worked with introduced me to it, he waxed his car every week with it (Hi TC!).



EDIT: Holy crap! They still make it: http://www.bluecoral.com/exterior_body.htm . Go to the bottom of the page, you can see "Polly" sitting on the "B" in Blue Coral on the bottle of Blue Poly.
 
If im not mistaken Collinite waxes are more like "resins" I have used Collinite IW845 for a while. Its my favorite go to "wax" when I need something that is very easy to apply/remove and has VERY GOOD durability without having to apply the Zaino. Not to mention IW provides a very nice look on most finishes. I havent used the Meg's 21 or the others you mentioned but I believe from all my previous reading that IW845 is AS durable OR MORE durable the above listed. A lot depends on environmental conditions as wannafbody mentioned.

I dont see why not as long as the glaze does not have cleaning properties.

I live in AZ, where the temp in the shade regularly hits 110. I use 845IW as my summer wax, apply about once every 4-6 weeks, and usually top with either mothers reflections spraywax QD, or NXT paste/spray. On my black paint, it looks great all season, and the durability of the 845 is AMAZING.

Duragloss Aquawax over 845 is fantastic.
 
I had PS, Trigger, UPP, then Nattys Blue on the car. Yesterday I applied RMMG and then sealed with Colinite and it looks awsomely wet.
 
I have used both IW845 and Megs 21. It was somewhat of a controlled experiment: I put IW845 on my black car in on Labor Day 2005 and Megs 21 on my red car in late September 2005. They both lasted through the mild Atlanta winter, but by March the IW845 was still beading (dimished beading, but still quite good), but the Megs 21 beading was virtually nonexistant. Given that the red car is 7 years old and the black is only a year old, priorities and time constraints had me renewing the IW845 on the black one in April. I'm now doing the red one with IW845 this weekend.



My experience is that Collinite IW845 beats the heck out of Megs 21. I was a bit disappointed, since the Megs went on and off quite easily and I was looking for a good polymer that would last. Of course, my disappointment is tempered by my discovery of how long the Collinite lasts. It is now my favorite.



The Collinite is great looking and long-lasting. What a combination! And the beading is better than all others I've tried.
 
What do I think of Collinite? Just take a look at my Avatar...hee hee

Collinite has become my wax of choice for daily drivers that I may not see for a while. It is quite durable, and holds up better than any wax that I have tried (w/o having boosted it with QD or a spray wax). It seems to go over just about everything, and with a coat of OCW after washings, I think a car's protection can be extended even further.



I have yet to put Z up against it, but from what everyone says, Z should be as durable. Now, if I can only devote a good day to applying Z....
 
Usually I'd forgo using a glaze on a daily driven car, because the results just don't last. However, with Collinite I'd be all for it. However.



and there's a big catch.



With any glaze, you may end up removing some or most of it when you apply the wax. Argh. I've had this happen often. Likes dissolve like. :(
