Well, Collinite 476s is the most durable carnauba wax, period. Should last, at a minimum 6 months on a finish that doesn`t see any QD or frequent washings. May slightly dull the finish left by EX-P, but it will last much longer.

476S looks better than what the durability might suggest. It will bring pop no doubt.

If you want a wax with durability you can`t beat Collinite 476.

It will bring pop no doubt.Collinites` 845IW has a great "pop" factor also, and is quite durable & extremely Easy to apply/remove when shaken as well! ... Collinite Wax Products* :: Choice of the Pros :: Auto, Marine and Industrial (http://www.colliniteautomotive.com/products.htm#liquid845) ... a great stand alone product after a wash ... or on top of anything (FMJ, DG, Zaino, etc..)

I just washed a full sized Chevy yesterday that had 476 applied to it 2 months ago. It has been on a 2500 mile trip to Colorado twice. I washed it and it beaded like crazy. After drying, it still had that just-waxed feel to it. I`m very impressed.

Collinite is one of those waxes that there is very little hype about. It performs much better than 99% of the hyped products.

It seems like Collinite is liked by a lot of people, and you always read/hear good objective reviews about it, but you`re always hesitant to pull the trigger and try it.

Well, IMO it`s cheap enough that most people can afford to gamble on a can. Even if it somehow doesn`t work out it`d still be great for *something*, not that I can imagine it not working out.



The people who see an major differenece between, say, Zymol Vintage and Souveran probablay aren`t gonna be knocked out by how 476S works, but the rest of us will pretty much agree with AlexRuizand Yakky, it looks better than most would expect from a "durability wax". I`d be utterly astounded if somebody said they preferred the look of DC#3 and there`s no question the 476S will last ages longer. Gotta admit that it doesn`t last as long for me as it does for Bigpoppa3346 though, at least not on something that`s outside 24/7. But it`ll still get through an Ohio winter just fine.



Just apply the Collinite very thin so it`s not a bear to buff off. If it *is* hard to buff off you used way too much. And even then it`s not like it`ll be some big workout (I`ve experimented with goofy-thick applications and I honestly don`t understand how anybody can say it`s that tough to get off).

My thoughts exactly. All of their products work very well and look awesome.

I think i might get a MF bonnet for my pc to buff it off do you think that is a good idea just slip it over one of the foam pads
