U from carworks?

 

u can't have both durability and shine in one product.

 

nope, not from carworks.

 

Hmm..

 

Pure carnauba is the hardest natural occuring wax. 100% carnauba block is HARDER than concrete. Let's take Vintage, which has 61% carnauba by volume. Whats the percentage of carnauba by volume of the collinite that you've mentioned? Is it No.1 rare white pure brazilian carnauba? or is it just synthetic wax?

 

By the way, as we all know in synthetic or petroleum-based products, the solvent will re-enter the paintwork overtime, so can it guarantee paint-preservation and not just shine?

 

One last question for now, how many exotic cars eg, ferraris, lambos, aston martin, bently, maseraties, porsches, etc use collinite?

 

anyways, everyone has their own preferences and use products that most suitable for them.. cheers!

 

Hasn't come in with my $0.02 for quite a while.. can't help but to chip into this topic.

 

You're right that pure carnauba is harder than concrete. but you can't apply pure carnauba block onto car paint. can you? [confused]

 

ALL waxes do not have only Carnauba in it. A Carnauba Wax product will also contain other softer waxes like montan wax, beeswax, candelilla wax, etc besides the carnauba. Of course, wax will also have other ingredients like oils, emulsifiers, gelling agents, stabilizers, biocides, and silicones. Wax content in the product in almost all cases is not even 50% of the product

 

When you say 61% of Carnauba by volume i'll think you means 61% of the waxes in the product and not 61% of the product as a whole. Even for Zymol products eg Vintage wax content in the product is probably around 35% of the product. Even at 35% it's a extremely durable wax...If you can, try Zymol Solaris.. the figure stated is 79%! better than the 61% you mentioned [nosebleed][nosebleed]

 

BTW, your statement on solvent baffles me. I have to ask a few pro-detailing friends to comfirm what i learned before is correct... Solvent won't re-enter the paint work. As solvent dries off, the product will cure and bond onto the paint. what's cured stays cured. Solvent dries off and that's it.

 

Just wanna share what i know... no pun intended.. [;)]

So I assume expensive cars only uses expensive wax.Maybe you should check out eurosport are their groomers using zymol wax..and how about those marseratis at carzomp.Dun watch too much Paul Dalton..

And you assume that cheap cars only use cheap wax? You're comparing professional grooming centre and PDI ones? Who is Paul Dalton? [rolleyes]

 

I dun drive exotic cars that is why I uses Collinite.

Either that is an ignorant and pointless statement or simply sourgrapes to me..

 

If it is No 1 pure brazilian carnauba,you think it will be selling at $30.

Bingo! So its not because of the 'mould' that makes zymol expensive afterall eh?

 

The percentage of carnauba content are some claims from manufacturer.

Well, at least zymol states what is in the content as compared to most product which is either vague or none at all. And I'm sure with their reputation, deceiving the consumer are the last thing they would wanna do. Imagine what IS really in the content of those products which are not stated or claims?? Its like saying that the nutritional content of a food are just claims from the bakery.. So its baseless and false, those claims??

Being so skeptical on things make life pretty boring and stressful, ain't it?

 

 

Collinite claims 25% of carnauba in it but it dun bother me..as long it works fine and last for me.I can't comment much on their making of wax until I have a chance to visit their factory.

Well, for the price you're paying for it, you should jolly well be happy already. And I'm sure you would be saying you can't comment on the quality of the manufacturing of a Merc or a Beemer until you have a chance to visit their factory... So if you can't comment on you're $30 products, how is it that you can comment on a let's say, $2900 product? Not to mention put it down..

 

Yes I agreed everyone has their preference of products,the price,the ease of use etc.

So why condemned zymol and promote your products instead when all the thread starter asked for was recommendation for grooming centres?? I'm sure the thread starter will be able to make his or her own decision from all suggestions and feedbacks, rite? You seemed so adamant and confident that your $30 product can outbeat a $2900 product or even $11,000 ones, there must be something wrong in Collinite's marketing dept, is it not?

 

Maybe you're the mycarforum's resident groomer / supplier / detailing guru. Hell bro, I don't even care if you 'hate' zymol. The least you could do is understand what the thread starter asked for. I just suggested a good place using good products. You claimed your's the better product and zymol is waste of money. Even if you really have the urge to do that, damn well start a new topic / thread. Or you can PM directly to the thread starter and promote yourself.

My point of view,Bro MD did not condemn zymol wax.Did he forces you to buy collinite or pushes his service to you or the TS.Nope,not at all.I must agreed collinite is a good wax for budget people like me who do not wish to spend much but if you are rich enough,nobody is stopping you buying expensive services and product.
