Bought a Mk5 two weeks ago with excellent paintwork and after reading some of the posts on here decided to give it a coat of Collinite (car had a polish first - don't know what with was done at the Garage where I bought it but good shine) - was very pleased with the results. Applied the wax with a foam applicator not too thick a paste and buffed to a mirror shine - would recommend to anyone considering a great wax. Will see how long the wax lasts over the winter but excellent water bead at present.

476S? Great stuff, easy on and off.

Collinite 845 liquid form
how does it compare to 467 ?
is it same wax just easy to take polish off
-
I do not like 845. It's far too fiddly and it comes out in a sort of thick jelly goop.
476 is a regular go to wax for me. As I keep saying wax serves no purpose other than to protect the paint and ultimately has very little difference in terms of finish.
Mine with 476s after a full paint correction. Polishing gets the shine. wax protects it.

IIRC 746s has a little bit of polish in it too :happy2:
-
No it doesn't. It's a pure wax. No "polish" at all.
I say pure wax it's still a somewhat synthetic wax but nevertheless, it has no abrasives in it at all..

476S? Great stuff, easy on and off.
^^^^^^ this^^^^^^^

I vouch for collinite as well!

Is this the stuff being mentioned as this is what i have orderec
-
Yup I think so. Is it 746S? There are a few different types of Collinite
-
Yeah it's says it was the 746s I paid £25 I think it was with what it shows in the pic
-
as above, I agree brilliant budget wax and cost vs durability is excellent. Just always always remember to keep the application layer thin.
-
I have 476s, Cracking wax, lovely beading and lasts ages!
-
I found it real easy to use even when I applied some too thick was real easy to buff off
-
It is amazing stuff, I haven't washed the car in ages, yet when it rains there are sections which look super shiny... just need a soft wash to bring it back up completely.
-
Yeah I noticed that it's nice to wash now it's been waxed with this
