Collinite 476

I have been doing some research on winter waxes and I ended up ordering some Collinite 476. Apparently, this stuff is detergent free and is an excellent winter wax. I was wondering if anyone here used it on their CL and if they have any application tips? I was told a moist applicator and a microfiber cloth with the wax on/wax off method works best. Thanks. (I will post pics, if i can, once I do the wax)

Great stuff, i've used it before, but not recently. You seem right on as far as application

I like foam pads for waxing....it absorbs more product and spreads it easier!

Ever since I started using NXT, I am liking foam pads ever more. I got the Collinite in the mail, it looks like some heavy duty wax. I guess I am going to have to figure out how much wax to apply and how long to wait before removing the wax. I am waiting for the next decent day to use it.

Well I got a tin of Collinite this past week, so I decided to try it out today. I washed the car and added a layer of NXT, then I did a coat of Collinite. After the NXT the car looked decent, but after I added the Collinite the car looked great. The Collinite seems to work really well with dark colored cars, IE black. It really made the paint smooth also and the wax is detergent free, so I am ready for all that winter salt and crap. Heres some pics:





If you somewhere where it snows, I really suggest you get this wax. It is supposedly one of the strongest sealant waxes around. I will report back on how long the wax lasts.
