Oho! I always thought they were the same.
In any case, I would concur with your assessment looking at these new photos...

Great looking detail there Dave, you know your stuff.  :happy2:

Not tried Colli myself,  tried most other stuff and now a huge Zaino fan. Must get a tub and give it a go though to compare.

Sweet mother of mercy! That's a detailed car.


I have poorboy's wheel sealant. Can I apply collys on top or is it not worth it?

You can do, and it will add to the protection there.  The Poorboys is good, so if you dont have Collinite then I wouldn't rush out and buy it, but if you have it, it will add some good extra protection from winter rubbish on the roads.

That's awesome!
Where are you based out of interest?

I based between Dundee and Perth (my unit is in the countryside, 9 miles outside Dundee) :)

You can use it on top of Zaino if you like, but then you wouldn't be able to use any more Zaino on top of the Collinite as it wouldn't bond - so once you use it, there's no going back unless you cleanse the car all over again (with for example Zaino AIO).

I rate the Collinite's durability though and it has superb water beading and sheeting - tight little beads compared to the larger ones from Zaino...  nothing more than a cosmetic effect  but its one I quite like :)
