New Collinite quick detailer

Hopefully this does not cause a problem but I am curious to a couple things, are you pre treating the area and are you using edgeless, plush microfiber towels as a wash media or are you using a sponge?

Not sure who you're asking but no need to be so defensive with every response. That itself seems to put others on edge.

If you’re asking me, I pretreat every time and use 350-500 gsm creature edgeless, or plush waterless wash towels. Typically 7-10 towels. If you’re implying I don’t know what I’m doing, well my way of not knowing yields one wipe for drying on most WWs, and about two wipes to dry for N-914 @ 1:128. I do this in my garage at a median springtime temperature of 68.3 degrees. I’m always sober when doing WW, and typically not hungry.

Hopefully this answers all possible questions that could lead one to wonder whether I waterless wash correctly... my guess is the extra dry wipe is needed because N-914 does not soften water as well as some polymer WWs, which I’m fine with, barely any added effort, and will continue to use N-914 whenever I want nothing left behind.
 
Hey, I'm being defensive because of a post being reported and rubbing people the wrong way, but I'm asking the question honestly here....UNCLE

Let someone else figure out why a product that has given me Z E R O problems using it is giving others such a hard time, geeeeez

Hey Klasse, thanks for the feedback. To answer your questions, yes I do pre treat excessively dirty spots. I also use an edgeless plush microfiber, usually about 10-12 per car. If anything, I probably over spray a WW as I am paranoid to use less. I am probably creating my own problem. I just found it was a struggle to remove. Not a big deal, as I can RW as fast as a WW (almost) and feel safer doing so.

I don’t think anyone needs to figure it out, I thought “YMMV” was a regular thing in this hobby.

I keep emphasizing I don’t see this as a “problem”, I will continue to use with the slightest additional effort. Maybe at 1:64 there will be more water softening qualities and it will dry with that extra bit easier. Who knows, who cares. Relax. Noone is bending your arm and requiring you to say “UNCLE” over this. Relax, maaaane.
 
Ok, men.

Let's chill. We are discussing products that make a car shiny, not arguing Roe vs. Wade.

AGO has always been about respect and brotherhood, and this is what sets it apart from all the others.

Reset. Deep breath. We all have our favorites.

Agreed?
 
Agreed!

Peace to us all, and thanks to everyone for feeding my hunger for detailing information and fair opinions. Life is good!
 
I'd love to Paul but it's been tough around here lately. I mean you get people bashing products because a confident YouTuber likes it and says I'm not buying into the hype but then DOES try it and LIKES it. I was accused of being a shill for the very same YouTuber myself because I happen to like his channel and agree with alot of what he's saying.

Then I talk about other towels out there, yeah, it's against the rules...I guess butt guess what, I see ALOT of people talk about and show products not sold here all the time but I would never say anything and certainly not report them like someone did on me, hope it was worth it.

That leads me to "this" issue, a non-issue. I'm basically trying to ask a question as to why a bulletproof product like N914 isn't working for someone, anyone because it's just that....BULLETPROOF! Asking the simplest questions eliminates the easy stuff and then maybe we can get to other issues, makes sense, right.

All this SH!T right here has pushed me to do a Griot's Garage Brillant Finish rinseless wash tonight, need to wash everything away, literally and figuratively

I smell what you're stepping in, Roger. (Multiple dog owners joke).

But I know damn well you're a smart guy that can let a few internet slights pass.
 
Maybe we don't have to rinse before a rinseless but it sure keeps the towels a lot cleaner.
Sure the lower panels and rear bumper area are always stubborn but not like the last rinseless I did.

I didn't prerinse with my dose of ONR/D114 spiked bleach bottle and the top of the car towels were dirtier than the sides usually are.

It definately rinses dirt down.

Klasse , we all love ya, you know that.
 
Back on topic.

OK, used it on the hood and trunk lid
of my 2012 Ford Fusion with Steel Blue
Metallic paint, so fairly light colored.

It easily took off dust/rain spotting,
left the finish slick, but not Bead Maker,
or even D156 slick. Nice fresh, light scent,
can't really describe it.

It left a bright Collinite finish, easily
contrasted to D156, or D115 at 4:1 ratio.
Those both darken the paint and change
the Collinite look.

If you like the look of 845, this will match
it almost perfectly. Anxious to see how it
beads/sheets.

Certainly a nice product, will update after
some water is involved.

Update, car sat outside in some rain
yesterday evening. The hood and the
trunk both done with the Collinite QD
did not have any water spotting.

The roof which was not treated with
Collinite QD, but was cleaned 48 hours
before with Meguiars D115 mixed at a
4:1 ratio (per Meg's directions) as a WW
had water spotting.

While both feel both surfaces don't feel
clean, it certainly got rid of the water.

Promising, especially when you figure the
last time the car had any real protection
applied was Collinite 476 in early November
2018. Since then it has either been D156,
D115, Sonax BSD, or Megs UFF (for the
record, UFF has not ever been effective for
me).

OK, perplexed to say the least.

I did a traditional two bucket and hose
wash. As I started spraying down the car,
I couldn't help but notice the areas that
had been WW with D115 were beading
and sheeting water like a fresh wax job.

The hood and the trunk with Collinite 520 on
(which had been treated with D115 the same
time the rest of the car had been about 48 hours
before the Collinite 520 was used) was far worse
with water behavior. The trunk lid especially was
not beading at all, nor was it moving water.
The hood was a little better with water sheeting,
but limited beading.

I proceeded to wash the car with Duragloss
car wash. This had no effect on the rest of
the car/D115 as nothing diminished.
It did bring back the Collinite 520 hood a little,
beading returned, but was not small spherical
type of droplets like we have all come to know
with Collinite. The beads were oblong, reminded
me of the look when your wax/sealant is full of
contaminants. Water sheeting was present,
but very, very slow.

Now keep in mind, the car needs clayed, the
paint cleaned and a fresh coat of wax/sealant.

With that said, it didn't seem to effect the
D115 at all. Maybe the D115 interfered with
the Collinite 520 adhering. Who knows. I'll try
it again after my next full detail (decon, paint
cleaned, fresh wax/sealant), hope to get to it
in early June.

Received mine yesterday. Followed the instructions to clean half the hood of my black Ford. After wiping and letting it sit, I honestly could not tell the difference. I found NO extra shine, slickness, or anything that indicates I used product on it. A second coat also did nothing. Next I started spraying different things and what I noticed is that 520 does a decent job of cleaning things like the bugs off my tow mirrors-- that really surprised me. The solution smells a lot like Windex, I wonder if 520 is actually more of a cleaner than traditional detail spray. I doubt I will use it much in the future.
