Collinite: Which product and number of coats?

[1ShinyCar]

Read a lot about Collinite products on this site and it seems that #845 is the easiest to apply but #476s/#915 are more durable. However, I also read that using multiple coats of #476s can create holligrams (I presume that this is the case w/ #915 because it is a similiar product).



That said, I am looking for opinions...will 2x of #845 last longer than 1x of #476s or #915? Feel free to chime in on appearance as well (White Paint).



Thanks.

Bump.....:woohoo:

i havent used 476, but 2 coats of 845 will last 4-5 months easily! Very good budget wax IMO.



Its a shame I dont use it as much.

If 476 is applied thinly & in the shade I never got a problem with holograms with 2 coats done a week apart.

I was about to ask the same thing last night but was reading a lot of old threads on this subject.

I am wondering which is better for winter protection in the harsh Chicago winters.

It seems from older threads I was reading it is pretty split on which to use.

I`m a big fan of 476. Two coats just before winter and all is well until spring.

i think 845 is a breeze to apply and remove and has great durability. Dont think you can lose with either product. You could also look into FK1000P

I have used 476s many times and I have never had any problems with it hologramming.

I have used both 845 and 476/885 for winter. Two coats of either will last from mid-October through March here in the Northeast, would expect same in Chicago (I lived there for many years). 845 is easier to apply, 476 might last a little longer. I second the suggestion of considering Finish Kare 1000P as well; it not only lasted from last October through April on my MIL`s car, central Penna. winter conditions, but looked very good in April. I`m using 1000P on our car for the coming winter.

On black I would use 915. jmo

So does the 476 last just as long as the FK1000p by itself or with the 476/885 combo?



Thanks for the info STS. :xyxthumbs

Thanks for your replies. One additional item for those who have used Collinite...



Does it attract dust like Carnauba can sometimes do?

I use a little qd to help remove it last time I applied it & that really helped with dust.

I haven`t noticed more than normal dust with Collinite. Not compared to something like Souveran, which looks great, but is a dust magnet. :chuckle:
