I went to a local west marine store today and they had a sale on collinite marine waxes, so i picked up a pint of collinite #870 fleetwood wax. Do you guys think this will be safe on a car, i mean it says so on the back but i didn't know they have a special line for cars. How do you think it will compare to #845, #126 and #73. Thanks in advance, Berj.



P.S. The pint was on sale for 13 bucks.
 
Cleaner wax? so its not an lsp because they had another one that said it was a cleaner wax and i thought this was the lsp.
 
I have been told from Collinite that #870 is not recommended for clear coat paint. I haven't heard from anyone who has used it one a car, so I don't know what the results may be.
 
IIRC, the *liquid* version of 870 Fleetwax is an aggressive cleaner wax that might be too harsh for b/c paints. The paste version is the same as 476S but more economically packaged (size/cost wise).



OK, I found my older product info from Collinite..the *liquid* 870 is described as a cleaner and they said (in that *older* product info) that it's OK for cars- "It is also superb for cleaning and protecting automobile, motor home....finishes". But I'd sure be careful using it on something you care about ;) and *I* wouldn't use it for this.
 
Alright, i guess its time to return it and buy some of the car versions. Is there anywhere local they sell it or do i have to buy it from pakshak?
 
Are they affiliated with any other of those companies like kragen or autozone, because thats all we have over here.
 
I'd let my fingers do the walking ;) See what you can find in the yellow pages, looking under not only carparts places but also marine/aviation/RV supply shops.
 
From my experience here in UT, most if not all Marine shops carry Meg's, they have not even heard of Collinite.
