Collinite 476S photo

MisterTee · 12th April 2008, 16:12

All,

I recently tried Collinite 476S on the civic. Its a strange wax, when I got it I thought someone had given me a "candle in a tin" craft fair type thing. Its a very hard wax and needs to be worked a bit to get it going, once you get the knack of it though it goes on and off like just as quickly as a normal wax.

In this photo I clayed and collinite'd the door, everything else just has "wax it wet" on it. Visually there isn't much of a difference, as my car is still quite new, however the door feels much more slippery and smooth (probably down to clay AND the wax).

Yellow duster is my waxing cloth, for contrast purposes and not some bizarre apron I was wearing.

Collinite is a great wax.

Robbo51 introduced me to it and I must say I am very impressed with it. I use the Collinite 915.

Very pleased with the results.

Yes, that is lovely. I can't help wishing I'd got the Type R. Sigh.

If its not raining in the morning I'll do the other panels.

what is the difference between 476S and 915? I want to get some and not sure which to buy

robbo51 · 13th April 2008, 07:15

Get the 915.
Its a little better and you get twice the amount

I topped up my collinite 476 wax protection yesterday - it looks great

I seem to remember being told the 476 protection lasted longer than the 915, to offset the slightly inferior shine.

I've bought from this seller twice with no problems.

I think a few other members have also.

Takes about a week to come but as Robbo says it is a lot cheaper.

R-2 · 13th April 2008, 15:26

Thanks all for the advice. So to sum up - go for the 915 for the best shine and the 476s for durability.

Ideally how often should you use it?

robbo51 · 13th April 2008, 15:31

Depends...I wax mine once a month but I admit thats excessive.
BTW..If you get both you can alternate coats!!
If you dont want to get the 915

Which one of the 2 waxes is better? I'm asking this because my Type-R is black and I live in Greece, meaning that we have a very very strong sunlight here and it gets hotter that hell here in the summer. so I want something that will really protect the color. Durability and shine is what I'm looking for. Should I get the 476 or the 915?

robbo51 · 13th April 2008, 18:48

Either ..dont know about the heat issue..You could eMail the company on eBay..They are very friendly and efficient

i-VTEC · 18th April 2008, 15:15

Thanks for the tip

476 has the longevity, but 915 has more in appearance dept.
Trade off, so depends on which is more important to you.

robbo51 · 19th April 2008, 09:09

Ive found the 915 lasts as well as the 476...so either ...It just damned good value and offers longlivety as well as a great shine whichever type you get:

I hate you robbo!! your car looks near perfect!! hehe

kenP · 19th April 2008, 10:44

I got some 476 recently and waxed the whole car. The first time you rinse the car off after waxing is just amazing, the water just runs straight off.

Now I make sure I wax one panel after every wash, just to keep it topped up.
