Hey everyone. As some of you may know I just did a full detail on my Tacoma. The whole truck recieved 106ff, Jeffs Werkstatt AJ and then Collinite 845. Well last night I topped half the hood and the passenger fender with a mist of OCW topped with Natty's Red. This made the overall combo incredibly slick, and noticeable slicker than the Collinite 845 alone. I've seen a few videos on YouTube showing the expensive Zymols sheeting water and I guess this is what people are looking for in them. I guess they are so slick that they can just hose all of the dirt off of the car. Anyways, I figured I'd show how the Natty's Red and Collinite sheet water.

Natty's Red (cured for 12 hours over Collinite 845):


Collinite (cured for 1 day plus) over JW AJ:


The Collinite left a few more water beads on the fender than the Natty's Red but then again it I was pouring the water about 1 foot above the fender where in the other videos they are practically touching the paint ... so to say the least, you don't need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a wax to get a slick wax that'll sheet water. A $25 wax will look great, easy to use (no need to apply w/ hands), sheets and beads waters just like any other wax.
 
Budman3, you have a nice winter combo there.the water sheets as nice if not better then some of the videos i have seen on highend waxes...
 
very nice, do you have any souveran to do a similar test with?
 
Wow that's impressive! I haven't picked up NR yet, but maybe I'll have to find a home for a jar in my detailing cabinet.
 
I still love my Nattys Blue even with the more expensive waxes I have, never tried Natty's Red...how did you like it?
 
Theres alot of waxes that mimic and even enhance the Zymol look, once you stop looking at just a price tag as some super marketing mumbo-jumbo.

I'm finding it to be a tad bit easier to use than the blue. The Red seems to be less forgiving than the blue because if I applied the blue a little too thick, it would be a little hard to remove. So the red is easier to use. But if you have the technique doewn w/ the blue, the only reason you should get the red is if your jar is almost empty, you like the smell of strawberries or if you find that it looks better. I can't really comment on the looks of the Red because I've only used it a handful of times but it sure doesn't look bad :cheers:.

I did find that using a spray wax, water or QD before applying Natty's made it easier to work with. I like to use OCW and find that rubbing a wax in with that makes the finish quite glossy.

send it to me, I'll test and promise to let you in on the truth !!:D
 
Does the Red have anymore durability than the blue or white natty's?
 
This is only my third or forth time using the Natty's Red, so I was banking on someone who has used it longer to comment ... I have a layer on my Jeep for 20 days now and its like I just applied it. Other than that I have no info on durability.

So being that no one answered I will assume that the durablilty is poor like the others then.:rolleyes:

I doubt that the red will have much more durability that the other two... and I agree, they lack it.

I have been running a side by side test of the original Natty's (white) and Collinite 915 on the hood of one of my vehicles. Both looked very nice after two thin coats were applied (actually liked the 915 better). After 3 washes a week apart (nothing else touched the paint - no QD, nothing), the Natty's side is sheeting, and has lost it's gloss. The 915 still beads, and looks great.

I can see why folks like the durability of the Collinite waxes.

While I am not particularly a zymol fan, if you did half of your hood with a good zymol and half with nattys red and then sprayed it with a hose, you would see a difference in beading FOR SURE. I have compared some high end zymols to collinite half and half on my hood, and looks aside the zymol is certainly better beading.


Dumping water in a smooth stream on a mostly vertical area of the car does not show the beading qualities of one wax vs another. Take a hose to the car, and put it on "shower" if you want to see how it will bead in the rain.

915 is absolutely fantastic, I dont understand why 476 and 845 get all the credit.
