2 months ago, I used the FK1 decontamination kit. Nice product… but will try the AUTOINT kit next time…



The only thing I have on my car now is Collinite No. 476s. Will 1Z Einszett Metallic Polish remove this wax? Or should I AUTOINT this?



Thanks in advance.
 
IME 1Z MP (especially the consumer line stuff in the smaller rectangular can) is awfully mild for this. I never tried cutting through 476S with it, but I *wouldn't* try it either (at least not if the 476S was good and healthy). Nothing awful will happen but you'd very likely get a gummed up pad and hassle around with it for a while.



I'd compromise the 47S with something or use 1Z PP instead (I've gone through healthy 476S with that, took just a little doing). I wouldn't bother using the "A" though, muchas I do like it.



Out of curiosity, why take off the 476S? I'd just wait for it to get a bit compromised and redo things then. Once it's a bit weakened, I'd clay with Sonus green (a little more aggressively than normal) and *then* use the 1Z MP.

FYI… I believe I have the “professionâ€� grade. My 1Zmp is in a 1000ML cylinder metal can.



I live in Southern California. How long will the protective properties of the 476S last? I read about 30 days… this is why I am asking. Can I just re-layer?



Thanks, I appreciate the help.

Ah, that's different...given that I agree with HDU; it'll cut through the 476S but it will still take just a little doing. You might find you get loaded-up pads or some other hassle though, so see below ;)

As deathlok said, you'll get months out of it. On my beater-Blazer (used very hard including Ohio winters) I have ~four layers of 476S, good for many, many months...more than an entire winter easy. And I even spot-clay at every wash.



Yeah, you can just relayer, I do it all the time. If you're worried about waxing over residual dirt, just clay (gently/carefully/properly) with Sonus green clay before you rewax. Since the 1Z MP is pretty close to functionally nonabrasive, unless you have marring I'd just clay and relayer.



FWIW, I've only polished the Blazer once (used 1Z stuff too :D ) in the 18 months I've had it, only had to reapply the 476S on rare occasions after doing the initial ~4 layers- once on the whole thing after ~8 months, once more on just the liftgate and some areas that take a beating in the winter (front door pillars, sideview mirrors, etc.).
