OK guys, time has pasted, we have seen one of the coldest and longest periods of weather since 1986, apparently.....

Review, 12th January 2009:

The last review was start of Nov, and today was a huge task just to wash the horsebox, I used over 175 litres!

Test orignally started 30th June 2008. Reviews took place at 26th July, 1st Spet, 8th Oct and 1st Nov 2008.

After 6 and 1/2 months, the following waxes are still protecting the paintwork:

Autoglym Hi Def
Collinite 915 Marque D'Elegance
Nattys White & Blue
RaceGlaze 55
Swissvax Divine, Mystery, BoS and Concourso
Victoria Concours
Zymol Vintage and Glasur

So there you have it, my final list of what lasted over six months in very extreme conditions too.

I am sorry to say I shall not be conducting any further reviews, the time is no longer available. Due to the amopunt of failures and the appearance of the horsebox there is also now a need to get it all stripped back and restored to its previous glory.

Thank you to everyone who has followed this, and I hope it has proved as useful to you, as it has to me.

THANK YOU

for taking the time and effort to do this test. it can be a great indication for alot of us since you live in the land of pretty bad conditions. i have been using collinite 845 for thirty-five years but 915 M D'E i've never heard of or seen. maybe its not sold in the US.

Thanks a lot for running this test

Lots of hard work went into it.

Everyone has their preferred waxes. I was cheering for 476s.
I was surprised that it did not make it to the end.

Of course everyone will have different results when used themselves.
Another data point to consider.

More importantly, a fun read.

You can order Collinite 915 through AutoGeek.
