Collinite 476s...awesome
« on: 15 September 2008, 16:50 »
For anyone wanting a quality wax I can thoroughly recommend Collinite 476s.

Spent a few hours on the car yesterday, and topped it off with a couple of thin coats of Collinite. Found it really easy to apply and remove, and the beading this morning was awesome, literally like thousands of pea sized beads all over the car.

At about £15 a tin it is a real bargain too, particularly when you think of the price you can pay for wax.

Hopefully the durability is as good as everyone says it is. I will post updates...

collinite is a very good wax...  very good value for money and was my 'starter wax' as it were

915 has a higher carnuba content but I am not sure if it is as durable

i love seeing beading in the morning on a car... this was mine the other day

I'll take your Collinite and raise you to Zaino CS.  :smug:

Spray on, walk away, and boy what a shine! Lasts up to 9 months cover, perfect for over the winter.  :wink:

1 spray of the stuff on a wing for example, 2 or 3 on the bonnet/roof, I even do my wheels with it. Top detailers/valeters on DW are using it with excellent results.

For real winter cover, clay the car first, then three coats of ZFX'd - Z2, then Zaino CS over the top. Should last right through to next spring. You still have to wash the car occasionally though  :grin:
