+1. I save a few quid and go with 476s as opposed to 915. 915 is supposed to be a tiny wee bit glossier than 476s.
Eveyone on detailing world is banging on about FK1000 at the minute - its like an easier to apply collinite, and very good value:

Like my first time with it, I bet your doing it wrong. One panel at a time, 3 minutes or cure time or so. Buff off.
Any longer and it dries like concrete.

I learnt that the hard way for a couple of months with Meguiars Liquid Wax lol! Did the whole car then buffed it off. Not anymore :P

Is this the same with 476? First time only a few weeks ago, great results but I did the whole car and OMG it was hard to get off...

Sounds interesting fellas.. sorry to hijack but i have been currently using smart wax & polish.. the results are good but would definite be up for using some collinite wax.. can it be used every time i wash the car?
I'm looking for a good wax, polish & sealant

Absolutely. I was using 476s.

It can, but its a little bit overkill, as Collinite will survive many washes before it stops beading etc. Two alternatives:
1) Buy a spray on "top-up" wax for in-between major waxes. I use Optimum spray wax and its the dogs. Its glossy, protecting, ultra-easy and a drying aid too!
2) You could use 845 Collinite liquid wax each time you wash - its a much simpler/easier version of Collinite with 80% of the benefit.

it can be a pain to remove, but often it's not helped by people putting it on too thick.... less is more :smug:
