What Collinite wax?

[Rhyso]

I'll give mine a good spanking on Friday I reckon, so long as the weather is good, can I ask, when you say two layers of the wax, are you supposed to leave it a certain amount of time before buffing off and reapplying?

yes you need to leave at least an hour for it to cure and haze (in my experience anyway)

I use colonite 476 i usualy start by claying the car 1st then either mequiars or autoglym then give it a coat of this and it lasts for ages and you can tell then how clean your paint is with the water beading

Thanks Rhyso, I thought you were meant to leave it. Well I'll give it a good going over next week

Will do, I shouldn't be buying anything now but f**k it, it's only £25, how long you reckon the tub will last? Is it alot?

well i've had mine over 12 months and used it about 3 times and its barely scratched the surface!! Should last you years

BRILLIANT! LOL! I'm gonna buy some now, and give my car a DAMN good clean next week

get it bought 

funnily enough i've booked the weekend for exactly the same thing providing the weather is dry - hope to get rid of ALL the winter grime 

me too - just hope no more salt gets put down

I've used 476s and it's a bit of a b*tch to apply. If I'd known, I'd have gone for the liquid version.

845 insulator liquid wax is very handy if you want a quick wax to apply and remove and it protects up to a year.

My first time with 476 was a nightmare. I applied it to the whole car before buffing off, and was left with a rock hard solvent-style wax to buff off. Hardcore.

Do one panel at a time. Allow to cure for a few minutes, then buff off.

476 is amazing, don't get hyped into buying 915 unless you want it. The beading on 476 reminds me of the T1000 from Terminator 2, its like mercury moving around your when you drive off. 


As for 915, its just got more carnuba in it. I read that it gives slightly better shine than 476, but most people won't able to tell the difference on a well prepped vehicle. I will be sticking with 476 myself - its cheaper but 99% as good (IMO).

As for 815, I use optimum spray on wax in-between 476 sessions instead, and its awesome. Very high shine.
