A high-voltage REMC lineman from many, many decades ago turned me on to Collinite. That’s what it was originally designed for, waxing high-voltage transmission line insulators. Every couple of years as maintenance they would do their thing and wash/wax insulators. It kept them clean and prevented environmental goop from sticking to them. Anything decreasing the surface conductivity on a 115kV line insulator is a Good Thing.
