You've lost a few of my small resupplying orders just because Ive chosen to save on shipping from various places when ordering some staples.

I'm sure it's personal preference that Phil doesn't carry Collinite for one reason or the other. He already carries a myriad of products on his site that are as good, if not better in terms of quality. Why comment on him losing business because he charges shipping and another site doesn't? It's business. I think some members forget that at times.

Default Think you misunderstood

1)Phil does not sell anything that lasts remotely as long as Collinite, (that I know of) though Im aware his products are all extremely high quality.

2) Other sites charge shipping as well, as they all should. But when ordering $50 worth of goods, I have often chosen to avoid the ~ $10 shipping fee twice, and ordered from one place versus two. I would prefer to give Phil ALL of my biz if I could just purchase Collinite from him, as he carries everything else I use.

Never mind the original question, order placed already.

Default DD's clay is a bit finer than Adam's. As for Collinite great product really

just no space to carry it at this time.

Default I have a feeling the new Opti-seal from Phil will give collinite a good run at longevity.

I just started using it last month on top of both of my cars that were clayed, swirls reduced with 1Z lack Politour, the 1Z Glanz to finish. The following weekend after the cars were washed i applied a coat of Opti-Seal. I am hoping this should extend the longevity of the 1Z Glanz and keep a good shine.

Default Collinite isn't anything special....it's hard to apply and hard to remove...

1Z's Metallic Polish/Wax is a better product and lasts forever IMO.

Default I have to disagree it takes a little more work to get on comes off with little to no effort and is

the longest lasting polymer I have used. No it's not the best in anything but worth every penny.
