It depends, if I ran out of #16 it would be worth $34 to me, but I like #16 for a variety of other reasons and many might not see a difference between it and 476. To get the cost down wait until it goes on sale and buy more than one and sell the other/s to a friend.

It is the same wax but 885 is called Fleetwax, "For Marine & Aeronautical Finishes." The tech rep at Collinite is the one who told me (and others) that 885 is the same wax as 476.

I can't recall any direct comparisons between 476/885 and 915.

For $75 you can have all three (#16, 885, and 915) and then decide for yourself which one you like best. With some people paying anywhere from $100 to $2000 for a single wax that $75 is quite a bargain when you think about it.
