Collinite SUPER Double coat in 18oz.

“The Permanent Auto Wax”

Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476 by Collinite is guaranteed to outshine and outlast any other car wax or protective coating. That’s why Collinite calls it the permanent auto wax. Get a full year of paint protection from this detergent-proof, weather-proof car wax.

Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476 is a paste wax that behaves like a paint sealant. One application provides up to a year of protection through any and all weather conditions. It provides a clear barrier against rain, salt, pollution, bugs, the sun, and all the typical road grime.

Its incredible durability is matched only by a few select paint sealants on the market, yet Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476 is a wax. If you enjoy the application and appearance of a carnauba wax but want the durability more typical of a sealant, Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476 is the best of both worlds.

Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476 is a thick carnauba wax packaged in a tin can, reminiscent of the paste waxes of 40 years ago. Likewise, it has the look and consistency you’d expect from a high quality car wax: a thick paste that gives the impression of tough, durable protection. And it should because Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476 will last through an entire year of rain, snow, and sun.

Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476 is a popular choice for winter paint protection. Its durable protection stands up to road salt and ice like no wax you’ve used before. Collinite’s headquarters are in New York so it’s not surprising that they produce such an outstanding winter wax.

You can enhance the shine of Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476 by adding multiple thin layers. This is a true wax with no cleaning properties. For the best results, use Collinite Sapphire PreWax Cleaner before applying #476.

We recommend applying Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476 with a Porter Cable 7424 to achieve the necessary thin coat. Applying the wax too thickly will result in difficult removal.

Here’s a technique used during our testing: Lightly dampen a finishing pad with XMT Polishing Pad Conditioner. Use a putty knife to spread a small amount of wax onto the pad. We used the gray finishing pad by Lake Country. Spread the wax over one panel at a speed of 4000 OPM on a Porter Cable 7424. For easiest removal, apply the wax and then remove it, panel by panel. We used a microfiber bonnet over a lambswool pad. Then we went back with a Cobra Super Plush Deluxe for a final hand-buffing. One coat will provide great protection but multiple coats are no problem since Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax contains no cleaners.

To apply the wax by hand, use a slightly damp applicator.

For excellent, all-weather paint protection for an entire year in a paste wax, Collinite Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476 has no competitors. Use it as a base coat under another pure wax or by itself for an attractive finish that lasts.

New Griots Orbital Polisher

The Griot’s Garage 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher also boasts more torque, which keeps the pad moving even under pressure. Commonly the pad will stop rotating on a typical DA polisher when pressure is applied. Griot’s Garage 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher is designed to keep moving so imperfections are eliminated faster.

 

Griot's Garage Random Orbital Polisher has a repositionable bale handle.
Griot’s Garage Random Orbital Machine has a fully adjustable bale handle. 
The polisher has also undergone some smart exterior design changes. The housing above the backing plate is now smaller, which gives the polisher a more streamlined appearance and you’ll have a better view of the pad. Griot’s Garage 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher has a longer 10 ft. cord. The bale handle is fully adjustable for maximum comfort while detailing. Griot's Garage Random Orbital Polisher has more torque and a stronger motor.
Griot’s Garage Random Orbital Machine has a wider orbit for faster swirl removal.

Griot’s Garage 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher includes a backing plate. Use Griot’s Garage 6 Inch Red and Orange Foam Pads to quickly remove swirls, scratches, oxidation, water spots, and then apply a glossy coat of wax.

While the polisher is more powerful and faster than ever before, Griot’s Garage 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher is still very safe on your vehicle’s paint. The random orbit motion of the pad prevents heat from building up in one spot. Less heat is produced by the polisher.

Griot’s Garage 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher is lightweight and simple to use, even for an inexperienced user. The polisher includes an instructional DVD to guide you through the detailing process.

Restore the shine to your vehicle with the more powerful, faster Griot’s Garage 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher!

Introducing the Foam Cannon HP



Turn a pressure washer into a high powered foamer!

Cover your vehicle in a flurry of foam quickly with the Foam Cannon HP! This foam lance works with a pressure washer to produce a thick, clinging foam. Give your vehicle a “touch-free” wash with this high powered foam gun. The Foam Cannon HP will blow you away!

The benefit of using a foam gun to deliver the soap to the vehicle is that it doesn’t require you to touch the vehicle, which could rub dirt against the paint. The Foam Cannon HP sprays the vehicle with a thick coat of soap to loosen and lubricate dirt. On dusty or lightly dirty vehicles, you may not even need to hand-wash. The Foam Cannon HP minimizes the amount of hands-on contact with the vehicle, which can minimize wash-induced swirls. Plus, the Foam Cannon HP is a blast!

Take your pick, we have Foam Cannon HP’s with your choice of Autogeek, Pinnacle or Wolfgang logo and 6 different connectors to choose from.
