IME a lot of the staining comes from excess product drying in the material's pores/texture. And once Collinite sets up, well...it's *set up*. If you're gonna try LSPing these outside-the-box applications, use a W-O-W-O method and be sure you really do get it all off. Eh...or just use 845 instead. In fact, using 845 and *then* 476S seems to make 476S-issues less likely; the base of 845 probably smoothes out the surface a little bit so you get less excess 476S or something like that.

And hey, I bet there's a lot of YMMV anyhow- the application/buffing technique, the prep, the material, all sorts of things.

I was just surprised that somebody had such different experiences than I did. The first time I tried 476S like that I was expecting a real disaster, man was I relieved when things turned out OK.

Any wax that requires a flat head screw driver to get the lid off, isn't worth the $3 or $4.
I'd rather by a couple grout sponges.

LOL wow, a good durable wax that lasts up to six months and looks good for $3 and you don't want it?

I've tried it. It's not all that. No better than 845.
