I've used it and its not the easiest on imo , i prefer the collinite 845 which is very easy to apply and lasts ages .

[JR]

how does it compare durability wise with the 476's though ?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

^^^ Its just as good as the 476 , i've used the 845 alot more cos its easier to use .The 845 is like a very thick liquid .

i just used 476 today easy to apply, durability i will know in next few weeks, today is nto so sunny so cant see what shine is like, but i think XXX was more wet, but i XXX on a brghtter day

I got some the other week and so far im really impressed with it. Gives a nice clear reflection and the water just sheets right off

 

[JR]

right looks like i will be ordering some then , after seeing that cup pic i think i need to lol

 

[FiDoDiDo]

Like Billy I've used the 845, I believe it's just the 'liquid' form of the 476 really. Gives fantastic results.

i use the 476s every winter

i find it easy to apply and it lasts pretty much all winter the durablility of it is immense and the beading is fantastic

i usually add a second coat after 24-48 hours but this isnt really nessesary, its just me being anal lol

[makavelli]

Does it last though???

last winter i just put one coat on and it lasted for pretty much all of the winter! this time i have put 2 coats on so it should defo see me through till the weather picks up again

its claimed to be the most durable wax and some say that one coat will last a full 12months! im just happy for it to get me through the winter lol

"Collinite No.476S Super Double Coat wax is the permanent car wax.

Without doubt Collinite 476 is the most durable car wax we have come across. It doesn't smell great but once you see just how good the results are and how easy to apply you will forgive it that. Buffing of is also childs play and the results look absolutely stunning. It adds depth to solid colours whilst not muting the flake on metallics.

Super Double coat paste wax #476 is a Carnauba based wax packaged in a tin that looks like it belongs in the 50's. Don't let that fool you though this is one of the finest waxes on the market. It is a true paste wax and contains absolutly no cleaners so by applying multiple thin layers you leave a finish which is more durable than not just any wax, but just about any sealant on the market.

Infact Collinite #476 is so durable that the manufacture claims one application will last a full 12 months come rain, snow and sun! This is the it's true forte. Somehow Collinite have managed to manufacture a wax so extremely durable it becomes the ideal choice all year round protection.All this makes Super Doublecoat #476s a very popular choice for winter, throwing off the worst weather with ease.

Wet clear finish
Carnauba based paste wax
No cleaners
Very very durable (the most durable car wax on the planet?)

for the winter i used: clay, super resin, extra gloss protection then collinite

 

[final abode]

can u use the collinite on top of chemical m seal?

 

[Serious Performance]

Collinite is a wax and NOT a polish or cleaner in any form. It will also sit on top of glazes and sealants fine .

 

[riz]

can u use the collinite on top of chemical m seal?

i used collinites over m seal on friday looks nice, easily buffs out and leaves nice shine, quite impressed with beading, in terms of shine i think XXX was more sparkly, but fro winter it will do, may use alternate layers when weather gets better

 

[Steve]

Collinites 845 how much is this stuff???

Or is the tub paste easier or better???

I can get 2 x 1 pint bottles 845 delivered for $38-40 from usa.

Am i right in thinking my car <<<< has a clearcoat.

 

[JR]

[JR]

[final abode]

definitly handy having a very durable wax , way too cold to be waxing too often in winter.

If you can get it for that price delivered then thats a good price . Depends if your unlucky and get stung for import duty which will add a couple of quid .

I prefer the 845 to the 476 as its easier to apply . Another product i like to use is the pinnacle liquid souveran .
