Collinite 476 Super Doublecoat Auto Wax, 266 ml

I'm not in any way a professional valeter nor someone who takes pride in maintaining their car as best as they can. I'd simply bought a new car and wanted to protect my investment, and whilst on the car owner's forum this product came up a few times as being excellent so I bought it to protect the paintwork. It's a bit more expensive but after using it well worth it in my opinion. I've only had opportunity to use this once on one of my cars (white SUV) but I really like it. I used 2 micro-fibre cloths, one that was damp (as advised) to apply the wax and the other dry to polish with. In the past I have used a liquid wax and I found this solid type wax much easier to use. The instructions on the tin advise to apply to a section at a time and leave for a few minutes before buffing to a shine - so I basically applied to two sections at first, then polished the first section, applied wax to a third section, polished the second and so on. It didn't take long at all to apply and did not feel onerous either. The product leaves a great shine to the car that is very long lasting - and it is good to know you have protected your paintwork with a quality product. I intend to use the wax 2 or 3 times a year (e.g. before and after winter). The ability of this wax at preventing dirt sticking to your car is amazing. When I say that I don't mean that your car won't look dirty - it will just like any other car - but the difference is when you go to clean it again. After using the wax I didn't wash the car again for 3 months, and I then needed to wash it in a hurry so I filled a bucket with shampoo and washed the car straight away with a sponge, didn't even hose it down first. The accumulated dirt just came straight off, it was brilliant! I'd thankfully applied the wax to the alloys as well, and so they cleaned right up too. One thing I will say is that I also decided to buy a clay bar to use when washing the car (all of this was much to my wife's amusement, plenty of eye rolling going on..). This is a product I had not even heard of really before buying this car but I can say that I don't regret buying that at all! Once you've washed the car normally use a clay bar and it'll almost effortlessly remove all those tiny black specks you can only see up close and that don't seem to come off with regular car shampoo and elbow grease - it's amazing! The reason I bring that up here is that by doing that you will leave a much cleaner and smoother surface on which to apply the wax - thereby giving even greater protection.

I'd read numerous reviews on here and (primarily) car forums, and eventually bought some of this to see what the fuss was about. I live in Thailand where the sun beats down on my bright, flat red paintwork all day (always above 35 degrees, often reaching 40), with (currently) sporadic, heavy rainfall and very dusty roads (which are generally poorly maintained), so I wanted a strong wax to help prolong the new paintwork look as long as possible and after a bit of research, went for this. Application isn't too bad with a bit of elbow grease, though I guess an electric buffer would make life a lot easier. Obviously you don't want to be applying it in direct sunlight (it gets hard very quickly and can be very tough to buff off by hand), but generally it's not that bad or difficult on a medium sized car. The finish is great. I can't speak for the depth of paintwork or whatever as I'm no professional detailer, but it looks great after a good polish and a few coats of this stuff. It seems to be lasting forever, also. Except, however, on the bonnet. Sitting in traffic here the thermometer occasionally reaches above 45 degrees and in direct sunlight the bonnet can get extremely hot, so I would guess that this is part of the reason why the bonnet needs to be re-waxed every 4-6 weeks or so; I don't know. The roof (obviously also in direct sunlight) stays beading up for 3 months after application, which is what made me think that the heat has something to do with it. The rest of the car is the same, 3 months of use at least It's not cheap, that's true, but it's not the most expensive either, especially for the amount of product you get (this tin will last me 2 more years at least; probably 3 in fact). Delivery was fast (although the tin was damaged by the Thai postal service on the last leg of the journey). All in all, I would give this product 4.5 out of 5 (because perfection is almost impossible). Previously I have used Dodo juice Orange Crush and one coat of that and a top coat of this seems to work really well. If the tin was smaller, I would certainly buy this stuff again. Highly recommended.

Didn't have high expectations for this product since I've tried numerous car waxes in the past and they've required a lot of effort for a so so result. This I have to say has genuinely both surprised and impressed me. Yes, there is a bit of effort to put it on, but not only does it look good at day one, but it keeps shrugging off all manor of dirt (including bird poo) with ease. One feature I've particularly noticed is that water does still bead up and run off it, same as with other waxes, but there seems to be absolutely no residue or droplets pattern if water is allowed to dry on it. It even resists car shampoo, so you can wash your car very easily and go back to the just waxed finish time after time. Already bought another tin of the stuff, and several friends on my recommendation have tried and been equally impressed with it.

Seems to be as good as the AutoGlym high definition wax that I also use. Easily applied with a dampened sponge applicator (the Meguiars ones fit the tin perfectly). I think some other reviewer said not to leave it on too long. I made this mistake initially and if it gets too dry in sunshine then it's really hard work to remove it. Good deep, lustrous shine. Recommend using a light cutting agent (e.g. Meguiars Ultimate Polish) before application.

Easy to apply and buff off lasts a long time and is very economical. I apply this wax to my Lexus LC500 every 3 months and the paintwork on my car is always immaculate.

tres facile a etendre dure tres longtemps. plusieurs de mes en utilise.

Espectacular muy buena deja el coche con acabo de elegancia y protección siempre uso esta marca según el color claro o oscuro siempre esta marca que nunca falla para que no se seque cuando lo guardas la tapa interior darle con la cera

Ma Harley de plus de 10 ans parait comme neuve. rarement trouver produit aussi parfait du résultat, mieux que mes attentes, j'ai converti plus de 5 personnes autour de moi pour des moto et des voitures, par contre il y a une préparation avec un bon lavage + un passage avec une clay (pâte d'argile) et enfin la cire Et j'avoue que la cire tien bien 4 à 5 mois même après lavage.

Very nice but need to rub instantly. stays for 3-5 months

Ich habe mich lange Zeit mit dem Thema Fahrzeugversiegelung in Eigenarbeit beschäftigt an verschiedenen Fahrzeugen, am Ende bin ich bei diesem Produkt gelandet. Im Vergleich zu - Meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0 (Hoher Glanzgrad, aber schlechte Verarbeitung (zu flüssig & lange Trocknungszeit) & insbesondere sehr geringe Standzeit) - Sonax Brilliant Wax 1 NanoPro (Für meinen Geschmack weder hoher Glanzgrad noch lange Standzeit) - Dr. Wack A1 Speed Wax Plus 3 (Hoher Glanzgrad, gar keine Standzeit) hat das Collinite 476S die Nase vorn, weil: + Sehr gute Verarbeitbarkeit (Ist eine Paste, die bei Raumtemperatur weder Brocken bildet, noch schmiert bzw. sich entmischt und sich mit wenig Widerstand aufbringen lässt. Das Nachwischen erfolgt ohne große Mühen + Die bekannten Flecken auf Kunststoff- / Gummiteilen bei fehlender Abklebung sind bei diesem Wax nicht so wild und lassen sich rückstandslos entfernen, wenn man einfach schnell reagiert + Es entstehen keine unangenehmen Gerüche wie bei sehr "chemischen" Wachsen, d.h. das Auto riecht nachher "natürlich" nach Carnaubawachs + Der Glanzgrad ist sehr angemessen, manche Waxe glänzen so extrem, dass es mir schon zu viel ist (Dr. Wack & Meguiars). Dieses entwickelt auf meinem Blau eine schöne Farbentiefe und einen schönen Glanz. + Sehr guter Abperleffekt!!! Das ist wirklich der Wahnsinn: Auto steht an der Arbeit, es regnet, nach der Arbeit sind nur Tröpfchen auf der Motorhaube, die bei 20 km/h bereits in Richtung Scheibe fliegen und rückstandslos verschwinden! Auch wenn es regnet und dann durch Wärme/Sonne trocknet, sind keine Wasserflecken sichtbar! + Standzeit: 4-6 Monate, daher ganz besonders als Winterschutz im November geeignet! (Wichtig: Keine Waschstraße, keine Bürsten, keine starken Waschmittel (also am besten sanfte Autowaschmittel verwenden; am besten auch im Winter nur in Waschboxen oder zu Hause waschen!) Ich bin total begeistert von dem Wax! Nebeninfos zu meinem Anwendungsfall: - Neuwagen, Perleffektlackierung - Anwendung: - Hochdruckreiniger-Vorwäsche ohne Reinigungsmittel - Autowäsche mit Waschhandschuh (Meguiars ME X3002 Microfibre Wash Mitt) und Meguiars NXT Car Wash Autoshampoo (sehr sanft und gute Verarbeitbarkeit, zu empfehlen!) in Wasser bei ~35°C [Stellenweise waschen, dann in kaltem klaren Wasser Handschuh auswaschen, damit der Dreck keine Kratzer erzeugt) - Trocknen mit großen Handtüchern (vorher im Trockner) - Oberflächenentfettung mit Isopropanol 99% aus der Apotheke - Einwachsen mit Pad (ALCLEAR 5713050M Profi Handpolierschwamm 130 x 50 mm mit umlaufender Griffleiste) auf ca. 1m², dann direkt Wax wegwischen mit AmazonBasics Mikrofaser-Reinigungstücher, pro 2m² ist ein Lappen bereits voll, also dann ein neuer her! - Abschließend nochmal mit den Lappen das Ganze Auto auf Restflecken kontrollieren! Anbei noch Fotos 3 Wochen nach der letzten Anwendung, direkt nach starkem Regen. Fahre täglich 100km über Land! Viel Spaß Euch allen bei der Anwendung! PS: Es gibt eine größere Packung (18 floz), die ist aber ungünstig, da diese sehr hoch ist und man schlecht reinkommt.
