A great wax I found....

A long time friend of mine who owns a bodyshop and shows cars put me onto Collinite 476-S wax. It costs $13.95 from this supplier online,

I love it, it is good stuff.

Re: A great wax I found....

I just gave this a try this weekend. Don't know how long it will last but reviews online rave about the stuff and it is probably the best wax out there. There are some sealants that might last even longer but they are like a five step process to do it right.

The collinite is hard as a rock and it takes some elbow grease just to get it on the applicator but you only need a very thin amount on the car. Any more and it will be a major pain to buff it off.

Re: A great wax I found....

I have also heard good things about that wax.

I personally use P21S paste wax on my SVX.

Re: A great wax I found....

I have some of their products and so far like them. I need to do some more detail work, and will use it again to see how it is.

Re: A great wax I found....

When my bottle of wax runs out I will look into this product. In the meantime, I need an orbital, preferably from Griot's Garage!

Re: A great wax I found....

I have used the Collinite Insulator Wax many times, and would reccommend it to anyone.
