my Collinite 476 review

[DW849]

I use a wipe on wipe off method, thin layer, damp applicator, mist of QD to aid in removal. I use a tight nap, non plush MF for removal.



Works great, no issues. You can stick with the 915 if you want. According to Collinite you'll get one month less durability than 476.

I've had no problems with 476 either. The mist is the trick for application and removal. I find myself using 476 more than Klasse SG and Pinnacle Souveran.

say i am using a paste wax, how do you know thin is thin ?

With any LSP (not just pastes), I often go by feel as much as by visual cues. Once you've gone over an area it'll feel slicker than the un-LSPed sections.



As long as you have your applicator uniformly primed with product, and you go over each section properly, the LSP will be deposited uniformly. Note that 99% of the LSP you put on gets buffed off anyhow.

One thing that has worked well for me in addition to adding qd to the process is applying 845iw, wait 45 minutes and apply 476s.

Yesterday I decided to use 476 again (after about 9 months of it gathering dust in my LSP collecton) on a well prepped black Volvo. It went on like hot butter (over Poli-Seal and using one of those tri-foam, finishing pad material on one side and cutting pad material on the other, applicators), and came off with little effort. I was reluctant to use it because I've had (extreme) difficulty in the past with it. Whether the temperature was just right, the stars were in alignment, etc., I dunno, but it worked great for me, and looked awesome too. A wipe down with Surf City's Hot Rod detailer removed any dust/smudges before delivery. :2thumbs:



Now, in the past, I've found it difficult to see where I applied it on lighter colors, so I would glob it on there too thick and would have a hell of a time removing it. I think from now on I will stick to using it only on darker colors, since it is much easier to see the product as it is being applied to the surface.
