Title: Collinite 915 or Poorboys Natty Range?
Post by: yascooluk on April 25, 2013, 10:52:03 am: Sorry if this has been posted before but i need some advice.

I am by no means a regular detailer or professional. The last time i polished a car was around 10 years ago.

My golf is 7 years old and im sure its never been detailed so i was looking to give it a good once over with clay bar, AG SPR etc.

but ive come across 2 products that people have been using. collinite 915 and Poorboys natty range?

What are peoples opinions on these products? Collinite seems to be at least a tenner more than Poorboys natty paste.

Id really like my golf to end up like this!

I've not tried the Collinite 915 so can't comment on that, but I am using Collinite 476s and think it's excellent, very durable wax that will last ages and ages before the need to reapply. I have used Nattys Paste Wax (red) in the past and really liked that too, easy to apply and buff off and smells like strawberries! Both these waxes gave a really good finish and I'd recommend them both. :smiley:

Have also heard good things about Collinite 476s but 915 is supposed to have a higher carnauba content and more suited to dark colours, although not sure it lasts as long as the 476s.

When searching keep an eye on the tub/tin size as they vary.

I would highly recommend collinite 915 goes on and buffs off very well and leaves a lovely gloss.

Yeah first time I have used the 915, even though it has been sitting in my detailing kit bag for a while now, and gave a brilliant finish :happy2:

Post by: torque777 on April 27, 2013, 06:40:00 am: I use poorboys white diamond, black hole, white natty , blue natty paste and poorboys quick detailer plus in between washes (got a silver golf and a blue jetta) I just like the way it goes on and comes off ...I last waxed the golf in september and I wash it weekly and always use a detailer spray to finish off ...its just at the point where it needs waxing again although it still beads water nice ..I believe collinite do a wax which alot of people like to apply for winter as it protects well think its the 476 one ?

sent using my own fingers
