Info & Guides

Collinite Wax FAQs and Tips

There are two types of Fleetwax. 870 is a liquid cleaner wax combo that works well on less pristine fiberglass surfaces. It removes contaminants and leaves behind a protective high gloss shine. Fleetwax 885 is a hard paste and contains zero cleaners, abrasives, or restoration compounds. It is best used on prepared surfaces for maximum shine and marine weather protection.

If your boat's gelcoat finish is slightly oxidized or weathered, washing and waxing won't bring out the shine you are looking for. Collinite recommends washing thoroughly, then using 920 Fiberglass cleaner to remove contaminants before 885 Fleetwax.

Instructions
Apply a thin coat of wax using an applicator pad to a clean section no larger than 2X 2 ft at a time. When wax begins to dry (when it turns to a light, hazy residue), remove with dry microfiber towel or cotton cloth.

For best results, do not apply hot surfaces or in direct sunlight. Collinite recommends waxing between 55 and 80 degrees F when possible. Note that is the air temperature. Ideally, surface temperature is lukewarm or close to room temp. Hot surfaces don't allow wax to bond to the surface properly and drying times are extended. Attempting to remove wax before it is sufficiently dry will result in smearing. Alternately, a cold surface results in wax drying too quickly. This makes it harder to remove. Under normal conditions, 885 will dry in 3-4 minutes on average. Wind, humidity, and heat/sun exposure can affect dry times. Remove once hazing is apparent.

Simply the best paste wax for fiberglass

15 years ago
Simply the best paste wax available for fiberglass. Goes on easy. Use between 50-70 degrees for best results. Don't waste your money on others more expensive waxes. This is the best. Buy from Jamestown.. they have the best prices on the Collinite brands. They double package everything so no worries about a leaking bottle.

Nothing comes close-

Airplanes (I have owned several) collect bugs like almost no other moving object on the planet and those 'remnants' are often difficult to remove. Collinite Fleet Wax results in such a fine surface (it's exceedingly easy to apply, also)that protecting the prop blades and the leading edges of the wings is not a 'snap', but fairly easy. One other thing; that polish lasts.

Simply the best long lasting boat wax

15 years ago
This is a can of wax like wax should be. When you open the can the product simply smells like wax. The bee's wax-like consistency and yellow color scream wax. It takes a little elbow grease to remove, but the results are worth it. Follow application guidelines for temperature and humidity, it is hard to use when it is cold or very humid. Initial results are great. Then it lasts longer than any product I've ever used.

Used both products on ten year old 400DA Sea Ray. 920 very effective cleaner - 885 goes on and wipes off easly. Also, excellant service from Jamestown Distributors

Great performance

16 years ago
I used Collonite's wax on my newly gel-coated Hull. It seems to leave a very slippery surface that prevents contaminants from sticking. I have seen great reviews for the product and I an very happy with it so far. I will likely add another coat prior to splashing and I will also use it in my car... I like the fact that it seems to leave no white residue. I used less than about 1/4 of the can for a 26' sailboat.

Good Stuff

17 years ago
The Fleetwax does a good job of providing a protective surface to my boat's gelcoat. Need to use a good polish first like finessIt...and older gelcoat may take two applications to get nice even coverage.
