Collinite supplier in Birmingham?

Deerhound · 11th March 2012, 00:48

Does anyone know of a supplier of Collinite in Birmingham? Decided to use some after Autoglym polish but don't know where to get any except online and I must wash the car tomorrow - desperately needs a good wash and tomorrow's the only time I'll have for a few weeks so obviously can't order any online. Anyone know somewhere in or near Birmingham that stocks Collinite and is open on a Sunday, please let me know!

No? Oh well, thought it was a bit of a long shot. What's the best wax available in Halfords then?

Plenty of suppliers on eBay,if you can hold out for the delivery..It is a fantastic product.

As my second choice I would say Autoglym Super Resin followed by the extra gloss protection.

I think I'll have to get the Autoglym products. I must wash the car today. I can get some Collinite for the next time but I need something for today. Thanks for the recommendation.

EGP isnt a wax though and to me looks a bit oily and fake. Any wax is fine, just not the watery ones, a proper paste wax, even a cheap tin of Simonize will do.

Now I read this :-/ Shops will be closed now. Will it be okay to leave it as it is?

Don't suppose you have tried Autoglym products then.The super resin polish followed by the extra gloss protection,which works as a sealant gives great results..Even on Starlight Silver.

I have tried other brands but Autoglym products are very consistent.

What's on it now? SRP? That has some protection so will be fine.

Used them on and off for 20 years, but have moved on to better things.

I really hope some protection is enough protection - I probably won't be able to wash it again now for at least a month :-/
