collonite IW or #16

[newguy]

well, it's about that time again, im finally out of my lsp which has been #16. Ive read good things about collonite IW, has anyone used this as well as # 16? If so, how do they stack up against each other as far as beading, slickness, durability and ease of use?? thanks.

Haven't used #16 but IW absolulely ROCKS!!

I have and use both. IW is easier to use, looks better, is slicker, and lasts longer. I use up my #16 on door jambs and trunk jambs to finish it off.

Let's not forget that #16 is discontinued in the US, so unless you live somewhere that it's still available the Collinite would win by default.

#16 is still available you just have to look for it.

forgot to ask, can you use collonite as a topper to UPP?

It works great as a topper for NXT

#845IW is a nice substitute for #16.
Definitely easier to use.
#16 has more of a neutral look which I like when I'm topping something else, whereas #845IW is a bit more reflective.
Durability is up in the air, both lasted 3 months for me quite easily before they were stripped to try something else.
