I'm not big on detailing, I handwash when she's dirty and if the weather allows. Once a year I clay bar with Meg's Quik Clay and Zaino wax with a Meg's sponge applicator: 3 coats and overnight (in garage) between coats. I'll keep off small marks such as bird poo etc on a zap-it-when-I-see-it basis with Meg's Speed Detailer. Tried Dodo Juice but gave it away to a good friend as I didn't like its slightly gunky consistency.
Saint Steve probably has the cleanest shiniest Tornado Red one on here. Dunno what he uses.

Autoglym's Hd Wax, for me gives the easiest shine for quick/good results.
Recommend using Mequires Claying kit for £25 and then using Dodo's lime prime . That will give you a good starter. Then more you do, the better it will become over time.

Here are some pics of Vics concours wax on red.....clean and beading :happy2:
This wax is lasting well, as the car is washed at least twice every day its used (2-3 days a week!)
:ashamed: doesnt always get a 2bm wash either!

I'm not the most avid detailer by a long shot which is why I use collinite 476 as it lasts ages between applications and really gives depth to tornado red. I've used it my wife's old met silver car and her new met blue car and the visual results aren't nearly as good as they are with red. Obviously the protection is just the same. 1 ~£18 tin has lasted for nearly two years and doing two cars so its fantastic value.
I imagine others will give you a slightly better look but I doubt there are many products that will protect for as long as the collinite.
I should say I haven't tried anything else to compare it with other than some turtlewax ...

x2 for Collinite 476. What is the Vics concours wax like for durability in comparison to 476?
stealthwolf:
Longer lasting.
