Re: What have you all found to be the longest lasting liquid carnuba?
This report was also why I was a bit sceptical about Ultima products. Guru Reports didn't rate almost all of the heavily advertised synthetics and polymer coatings.
But now I have tried Ultima PGP on my victory red Chevy SSS I'm very pleased.

The Guru Report is 4-5 years old now and many of the new synthetics weren't even on the market then.

Re: What have you all found to be the longest lasting liquid carnuba?
Ok I have another question on the 845. To get the most durability and shine with the 845, I was wanting to use a sealer such as the Poorboys EX I have and possibly a glaze. What would be a good process for applying the 845 and EX?
845 base
Followed by EX
Topped with 845 again
or
EX
Topped with 845
Or vise versa?
Would using both in combination decrease durability? What if I wanted to use a glaze like Red Moose or Danase, how could I include it without removing the 845 durability?

I didn't see this question specifically answered so I thought I'd chime in.
Here is 845 x2 topped with 1 coat of NB on my Daytona Blue 350Z:
Not sure if that was the best combination to use to get the color to pop but it did get a lot of looks. I've had just 845 on before and the look is brighter - more reflective than deep, I guess.

Re: What have you all found to be the longest lasting liquid carnuba?
Here is 845 on black. I can't recall for sure, but I believe I did one layer of EX-P first, and then two coats of 845.

Re: What have you all found to be the longest lasting liquid carnuba?
Which ever Collinite product you decide to use, you can\'t make a bad choice. Personally, I prefer the 476 paste but other\'s seem to favor 845IW ... find what you like and use it often. Applied 3x layers of 476 in late Oct. , I make regular trips to the wand wash (rinse only), bucket wash in the garage when I can and 476\'s still delivering tight, round beads.
Best price I found recently for Collinite products was on Ebay and the guy was offering free shipping.

Re: What have you all found to be the longest lasting liquid carnuba?
Collinite is probably the most durable carnaubas available. Blitz isn't too shabby either from what I've read.
