Collinite 476 is a very good durable wax. Probably not the best in looks (looks are arguable) but it is really one of the most durable waxes out there  :wink:

yep as Chris said its a very durable wax and leaves a nice finish, but will not leave a wet/blingy look like the dodo waxes do.
but imho protection and durabilty comes first when it comes to sealants and waxes.

The main range of waxes are colour charged, although they make next to no difference, it's nice to get one to match your car colour:

Or if you have a big budget, go for Supernatural, the ultimate Dodo Wax  :grin:

Yea I got the purple haze one, seems to working great for me so far, great beading, fairly easy to apply with a foam applicator not sure how long it lasts but iv done 2 layers and it's been 3 weeks still going strong.

I have both DJ Supernatural and Collinite 915. Supernatural is far easier to apply than the 915 (I have to heat the 915 up a bit in my hands before applying) and for sure the Supernatural gives a wetter finish. Durability the 915 is meant to be better but I cant confirm yet as I've only started using the 915.
