    How not to apply Collinite 915

    Interesting to come across my old thread again. I have applied it a few more times and, for obvious reasons, changed my approach. I apply by hand to one panel, then get next panel ready for application then buff off first panel. I try to remove just before it is dry but is milky white on the...

    How not to apply Collinite 915

    Yep its notably harder than 845! I intentionally slathered it on thick because i wanted an especially pronounced protection. In hindsight it was probably a waste of product. But in saying that the tin has hardly been dented at all and I dont think i will ever use this up in my lifetime. Will...

    How not to apply Collinite 915

    I certainly have learnt my lesson. As has my right arm lol. It does look very good but could be better. Unfortunately I used a nanoskin marred the crap out of the clear coat.

Anyway be...

    How to get the metallic to sparkle?

    Thanks for all the replies. I will get the UP and hopefully will make the paint sparkle. Will the UP remove the wax? Once I have done the UP should I then go over with the mothers sealer glaze? And then wax? Or straight to wax?

    How to get the metallic to sparkle?

    Yes I am using a DA. I used the turtle wax as it was cheap and available where I am. I had a closer look at the mothers product and it says its a "sealer and glaze" so im guessing i havent actually polished the paint at all. I compounded it then went straight to sealer/glaze. What polish do you...

    How to get the metallic to sparkle?

    Hi there this is my first post but have been a member for a while. I have a BMW in sparkling graphite metallic that i have just detailed. I used a whole clay bar which was filthy when i finished with it. Poor car has probably never been detailed properly in its life. So after claying i...
