I don't think he was testing how they looked, he was testing the beading and sheeting.

I'm sorry to say their is a difference b/t collinite and say a zymol. Is there a difference enough to pay the difference? I use collinite as my winter wax and the gloss and depth are less than say vintage, and I don't even own vintage.

Cheers,
GREG

I was commenting on this post and the other post that Dave did where people judge the looks and Collinite was ranked #2. I also don't understand your comment about Vintage unless you have seen it in person or have used it, how can you say it is better then Collinite?

As far as sheeting goes I have to vote for Royale and for beading I vote for Raceglaze 55. That was a very impressive test. And although I agree with most that a perfectly prepped car will look quite good with just about any wax I maintain that if the car is not absolutely perfectly pristine that higher end waxes do look much much much better than cheaper ones. I don't get a ton of clients wanting to pay for flawless finishes and the higher end waxes I use look 10x better on the car than cheaper waxes. Case in point I just did a Roush Mustang for a client for the 2nd time. The first time I put Lusso Oro on it and it looked good. This time I put Rubbish Boys OE on it and it looked phenomenal!

I have used both collinite and Vintage. Vintage looks much better on a perfect prep car vs. any other wax I've used. Vintage allows dust and other natural fallout to just breeze off.

I dunno, honestly they all look nearly the same to me. The real test would be to see this again in say, 2 months.

Collinite for me. I feel the sheeting was the best.
