Collinite Prewax Cleaner #840

[Rocket]

I tried a search but I only found 2 threads. Has anyone used this product? Thoughts and impressions? I'm looking for a prewax cleaner and I've looked at a few but I don't see much mention of this product.

I never have even heard of this product. I would like to hear some input as well.

It is a very good cleaner capable of removing some pretty heavy oxidation but it isn't for use on clearcoats.

Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't even notice. That might have something to do with the lack of discussion

You are probably right...it is an "Old School" product but very effective for it's intended use.

Collinite Prewax Cleaner uses a diatomaceous earth abrasive, which makes it very efficient at cleaning heavy oxidation and above surface contamination, but can leave very fine hazing on soft clear coats. I have used it on a hard, black Audi and it did not dull or haze the clear coat, but it is Collinite's belief that some hazing can occur on softer finishes.

That said, Collinite Prewax Cleaner is an amazing prep step on gel-coats and hard paint finishes, such as on a boat, R.V., or industrial equipment.

I guess I'll stick to ordering P21s or PB pro polish

Very interesting. I have never noticed it to haze even on softer SS paints but it has been a while since I used it and I never used an aggressive pad with it. Definately something to store in the memory bank. Thanks for sharing your info!!
