Your car looks STUNNING! I've never heard of Collinite before. It sounds like an explosive! Do you just wash the car and apply like a polish, or do you have to polish then use it?

wish I had the strength..
very nice finish.

Excellent job, really does put most people to shame, especially me.
I will try harder with the new car when it arrives.
Is this stuff good for fending off the effects of bird poo?
I've been contemplating a car cover but I am getting warned against it, so looking at other forms of protection.

I suppose it may help a little, but to be honest, the best thing to do with bird poop is to get it off the paint asap. If it's already dried, my favoured approach is to place a sheet of toilet or kitchen paper over it and give it a good soaking with quick detailer (or even plain water will do). The paper will hold the liquid over the poop and after a few minutes you should be able to carefully remove it without scratching the paintwork.

and I am serious....will Collinite make cleaning on cow muck and mud from my car. We live a mile down a farm track and cow muck and mud get splashed up the front doors and leading edges of the rear bumper. I'd love to find something that would help shrug it off.
