Founded by the late Charles C. Collins,
Collinite has been manufacturing premium-detailing products for the world’s
most demanding automotive and marine enthusiasts since1936.Its unsurpassed, quality-driven formulations have won the hearts and
praise of patrons and publications alike, with a grassroots reputation that has
propelled Collinite to international recognition. Mr. Collins entered the
automobile aftermarket field with one single purpose in mind; to supply his
customers with the highest-grade products regardless of costs. Collinite is
extremely proud to still operate under this basic fundamental practice today.
Family owned and operated, Collinite’s waxes and cleaners cannot be found in
cut-rate stores, nor is the quality of its products compromised or devalued for
quick profit shortcuts.
Since its inception, Collinite has
relied on its distinctive word-of-mouth reputation and
let-the-product-do-the-talking approach as the backbones of its success. Once a
seemingly underground phenomenon, Collinite’s
rise in popularity can be attributed to the countless, unsolicited referrals
that continually strengthen and develop its reputation among detailing fanatics.
In small niche market venues like car shows, detailing garages, marinas and
specialty boutiques, knowledgeable “missionaries” have spread Collinite's name in an unprecedented fashion, rendering formal advertising and marketing
campaigns nearly obsolete as part of Collinite’s philosophy.
This no-nonsense, results-driven
approach of delivering performance instead of promises is no more apparent than
in Collinite’s vintage, old school packaging and lack of flash or spectacle.
Collinite proudly adheres to the core principle of quality over compromise.
Or as Collinite President Mike Taylor habitually says, “We don’t put
our money anywhere else but in the bottle. It’ what’s inside that counts.”
Of course word only travels as far as
the merit of a product can take it. Throughout its rich tradition Collinite
products have become synonymous not only with shine and protection, but with
vital staying power as well.
Dockhands,
dealers, and detailers alike unanimously cite Collinite’s long-lasting results
as its most unique and valuable feature. In industry-wide marine and automotive
product tests, Collinite has repeatedly set the benchmark for unyielding
endurance and water bead durability on various surfaces, and in almost every
conceivable condition.
Spread the Wax. Spread the Word. Wax
