Just wanted to update this. I waxed my truck with this wax back in the spring and today its still beading. Its held up to the hottest summer weve had here in years, rain, car washes, salt spray and sand and it is still protecting. This stuff is legit.

You gotta make sure you clay bar before you wax with this because of how good of a sealer it is

Watch a couple of videos in YouTube! That's how I learned. Make sure to use lots of detailing spray and DO NOT USE THE CLAY BAR if you've dropped it.

I'd been using Meguiar's NXT 2.0 and was pleased with it but have been wanting to try something different. This thread and the reviews I've seen online convinced me to order some tonight. Can't wait for temps to warm up a little and get a weekend off to clay bar then apply the Collinite to my wife's car and my truck! Hope it's as awesome as everyone says haha

I just found some for $13.95. It is great stuff and what a shine!

Someone here said to run it under hot water to make it more usable.

I don't know how you could get it out of the bottle without the hot water.

I kept it in a pan of hot water and the whole time it was a usable liquid.

It's actually an industrial application wax, not a vehicle wax. I've never seen it in stores.

It does not appear to have any cleaning properties, just a very good sealer from what I am hearing. It will most likely not remove acid spots. No wax that I have used does. You must buff them out before waxing.

Oh, ok thanks, i am not interested in sealer, regular wax products do that good enough. I hate to have to buff the water spots out, I used the TW Ice and it did a good job but there was a few left over. I have used Meguiars and other waxes but these darn water spots are a killer to get out on the dark color vehicle and especially out of the windows. Thanks for input..
