Blitz and collinite wax

Not used the Blitz for a long while still have half a can sat unused.



Do a search it was discussed lots a few years ago, plus a few use it still today.



Collinite is discussed on here a bit to as it is seen as the heavy duty Carnuba.
 
After years of trying many paint sealants, and ultimately being disappointed, I finally went back to Blitz just a few weeks ago. Let me tell you, I did not realize what I was missing all of these years!



Blitz IS my favorite carnauba...hands down! I've tried all of the fancy boutique waxes, but have walked away disappointed as they serve little purpose on my daily drivers. Sure, the look they give is fantastic, but I have little time to be re-waxing every weekend. Blitz picks up the tab quite nicely in the durability category.



If you haven't tried Blitz yet, I highly encourage you to do so. It offers great depth, shine, and durability for a price that won't bust your wallet. Sure, it's not the most talked about LSP here anymore...but what natural wax product is with all of the carnauba bashers out there?



After seeing many of the high-end vehicles that you detail, I would say that many of your customers will be more than satisfied with the look that Blitz offers, especially on darker-colored vehicles. I'd even go as far as saying that Blitz is the "discriminating" enthusiast's wax. Heck, if it is good enough for the royal mews of the Queen of England, then it must be good for me too! From what I have read also, Jerry Seinfeld uses it on his quite rare and exotic collection of Porsches. If you use Blitz wax, then let's just say that you're in good company... :wavey



I know that sometimes descriptions can be limiting, so I've included a link with some of my work with Blitz. As you can see, the pictures speak for themselves. You simply can't beat the depth, shine, and liquidity of this wax!

I am a big fan of Blitz, as well. It looks great, is very easy to apply and remove, and LASTS for months!! I think you'll find that more than "a few" are still Blitz enthusiasts.



I haven't tried Collinite, but from everything I've read it's supposed to be the longest lasting caranuba in the world, though I haven't heard any particular praise about the look it gives. I've also heard that it's pretty difficult to remove.

I will have to try blitz :o



Collinte 476S is the most durable carnauba, but as you mention, removal is not that easy and the looks are not souveran killer. Collinite 845 on the other hand is almost as durable as the 476S, but looks as good as S100 in my eyes (deep, and very shiny) and is also as easy to remove as S100, but will murder S100 in durability.



I think turbomangt will be happy with any Collinite (845 recommended as first choice), and based on the blitz comments I think he will be happy also. Try them both and pick your best fit!

It's also very user-friendly, especially when you consider the fact that it's a paste wax.



If you happen to get any on your plastic or rubber trim, be sure to wipe it off right away.



I like the way it looks on dark colors (Meguiar's Hand Polish + Blitz Wax below)... Sorry about the picture quality.. It was scanned from a Canon Elph..

845 is easier to use, looks better, and is slicker. Durability is pretty close between the two. Slight edge to 476. If you pick only one go with 845. I use 476 as well as 845 because I like to apply paste waxes.
 
I use Blitz all the time. In fact, I used it today on my white Honda.



I usually top Collinite with Blitz to act as the "sacrificial" layer that I keep reapplying.



It darkens paint and makes it very wet looking. It also brings out any flake in the paint.



As far as durability, looks and ease of use not much beats it in the carnauba family. Collinite #845 is more durable, but I would rate it a close second to Blitz for appearnace.



Collinite #476 is run of the mill regarding appearance but INSANE durability. I use it in the winter.



I also use #845 on wheels. Not much stands up to the heat of the wheels and #845 was designed for this type of application. Forget your fancy wheel sealants and waxes - NOTHING beats it and I've tried them all.

Note the flake

I am also a big fan of Blitz carnuba. I have tried many of the newer sealants but always seem to venture back to the Blitz.

Very easy to work with and lasts a long while, but how would I know since I'm always laying on another coat.:D

I agree. Wheel sealants are a joke.





What about the staining of trim issue I hear about with Blitz? Is it as bad as I hear it is? I'm talking about running onto trim after a rain.
