At the moment I have a couple of layers of Collinite on, is it ok for me to put the Balm straight on top of this?

Yes..Apply BHAB straight over Collinite after you have given the car a good wash with hot water and car shampoo first and dried it off.
I'm going to do mine this weekend weather permitting..Pics will be included of course.

I have a feeling I might be investing in some too.

Yes, Balm works over waxes, but is not advised for use under, since their solvent carriers are likely to reduce the longevity of it, if not remove some of it altogether.
So, unlike most sealants where you tend to go over with wax to get the depth/wetness they often lack, you do the opposite with Auto Balm.
That being said, if you stripped half a panel and just laid AB on it solely, and AB'd the other half with the wax still on, I predict you'd prefer the AB only half.
It has some of the depth/wetness wax has, but all the longevity and flake/pearlescent pop a sealant does.

So:

Collinite, then Auto Balm not vice versa then???

At £15 a jar, and that will last you easily 12 months if applied correctly, it'll be the cheapest LSP you'll buy.
Now, if you'd been talking about Dodo's Supernatural, then at £95 a pop, you'd have a strong case for your argument.
Bear in mind, Dodo wouldn't be suitable for wheels, chrome, glass, and certainly not black plastic trim. Neither would Collinite.

And there's more product in the pipeline.

So keep your wallet handy!

Spot on, if you feel you must still use Colly. Like all carnauba waxes, it tends to mutt flake pop - not an issue of course on Milanos, but for others.....

Unknownsoldier · 11th June 2008, 23:35

Cool, may well give it a go at some stage.

ATB,

Do you work for them PJS?

PJS · 12th June 2008, 10:54

Nope - just a very happy customer who felt they'd been hiding their light under a bushel for too long.

Jethro,
The car looks top class after you waxed it.
I've ordered a can of 915 and I'm looking forward to slapping it onto my Milano Red Type R.
Thanks for the post.
