Re: A uk version of the wax test!
When you say these waxes have failed, what exactly are we looking at? I see some areas that have no water present, and other areas with a lot of beading going on. Wouldn't you want there to be no water present, as it could dry up and leave water spots? So how is that failing? Unless I'm looking at the wrong areas or misinterpreting what you mean by pass/fail.
Nice to see that this test is still going on though. I've seen several different so-called x-way LSP tests that were supposed to have been updated over the weeks, but they were never updated. I guess their creators were just trying to get more attention and hype on the forums.

Go figure... anytime I pick a product based on "hype" a week later I read something like this.
I guess I must say, I'm not that surprised though. I just "winterized" both my cars with Collinite 476s, hoping for SIX MONTHS of protection. Maybe I should lower my expectation to six weeks and be pleasantly surprised if I get 12 weeks. |

I'd be shocked if you only got six weeks. I've used Collinite quite a bit and never have I had it fail in less then 4 months. Always get me through a Wisconsin winter. |

Re: A uk version of the wax test!
Collinite should go at least 3 months in harsh conditions.

It is on the "watch list" and it has been three months, it hasn't "failed" yet according to the original poster.
