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.



yeah i leave it on too long, i do try to get it off pretty sharpish but always get sidetrack then pay the price!  :grin:

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?

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:
