If you've never tried this stuff, you owe it to yourself to:

Insulator Wax » Collinite

I got a new truck this spring and have been wondering if I should wax it before winter. I have never heard of the three names listed above.

Absolutely. Before waxing a brand new truck I always clay bar first. Then I go over it with the Collinite.

ReJeX is really good, or as an alternative, Meguires Tech Wax is the same thing and less expensive.

Another vote for Collinite! It is great stuff! Their metal wax is also great for polishing up all the stainless

I don't think it would be good for high heat areas.

I don't believe it would work for high heat, but I've never tried it on anything that gets hot.. I just did all of the metal on my trailer though. Looks great.

Another thumbs up for Collinite.

Clay bar (buy the Mothers Kit)

Then Duragloss 105

Then Collinite wax

These products can be found on auto geek for good prices. Good luck
