Does anybody have experience with Collinite 476S (Super Double Coat) vs. 885 (Fleetwax) vs. 915 (Marque D'Elegance)? How they stack up one against each other?
 
I've used 476S and 915.

476S on a Prevost motorhome. Still slick to the touch.....after 2 months and a trip to Colorado!



The same for 915 but I love the warmth it gave to a certain light colored truck I did a few months back. I need to use it more. Thanks for reminding me.



A side note. Dampen your applicator with a QD before applying either. Then load it up with the wax. Once loaded, you should be able to do a full side of a car before going back to the tin. The dampness helps to even out the wax so when dry, you have no high spots that are hard to remove. Just keep it thin. It doesn't take much.

Can you describe how they would look if both were used on same vehicle? I am trying to decide which one not to purchase as I can not purchase everything I want :lol
 
just to let you know 476 and 885 are the same product just packaged differently

and you get a a few more ounces for the same price
 
476S and 845 are the most popular ones used by members on this forum. I personally use 476S. If you are looking for appearance, 476S is okay, but it's definitely not the best. Collinite waxes are known for their durability, not looks.

915 to me, is the higher end. Seems to give a deeper wetter look. 476 (885) will probably last twice as long. A year has even been reported by some. If I was buying one, it would be the 915.



Hope I've helped.

This is definitely good to know :) Thank you!
 
I remember hearing a few different people around here saying that employees of Collinite have claimed that there's no difference between 476 and 915 other than the price tag. Not sure how much truth there is to that though.



For what its worth, I do like 476 over 845 for durability's sake.
 
Amazing though on how much they all smell alike. Even the liquid 845 and 476S paste smell similar. Their leather wax is good stuff by the way.

I am looking for something very affordable or affordable that will have great durability and better looks than what I have sitting practically unused from my "didn't know better on how to do it right" pre-Autopian days for use on my g/f's old neglected Blazer or on the cars of the people that didn't put wax in years and will not put it again in years after I put it and don't care that much and will be happy that it is has been handled for them.



You know, cars I wouldn't spend #16 or P21s on.



Before I forget, what is sitting right now is:



Wax Shop Super Glaze HD (what this is?)

Meguiar's Gold Class Liquid Car Wax

Zymol Cleaner wax

Mother's Reflections Premium Polish wax

Meguiar's Deep Crystal Carnauba

DuPont Teflon Car Wax

Mother's California Gold Carnauba Cleaner Wax sample

Meguiars' Cleaner Wax sample
 
Maybe everyone should just by Souveran. It's 90.00 so it must be good. lol!

I've used alot of over the counter products that give great results. NXT is one.

You've helped. Considering my criteria is not best looks out there but great durability, very decent looks, and affordability 915 is out. 476S and 915 are both on sale, both very affordable, and price differential per oz is not significant. Enough that I will get them both and try them both.
 
For looks I think 845 is better than 476. Both are probably the best kept secrets in LSPs.

Zoran just buy the 885 instead of 476. You'll get more product.

Yes, I would, but I'm curious to see are they really same. Wording on 476S leaves impression it is pushed slightly toward looks while 885 seems to be pushed slightly toward protection. I can afford to try both because I got AG GCs at 25% off, they have sale where they are $14.50 for 885 and $12.50 for 476S and they have further 20% off from everything on site. In other words I am getting 12oz for $8.70 and 9oz for $7.50, or $0.725 and $0.833 per ounce respectively. In other words I would be saving a dollar approximately. I don't mind spending a dollar to satisfy my curiosity. I'll just call it that I got 21oz for $16.20.
 
sorry to jack your thread a little but since justin brought up smell does anyone else think 845 smells like rubber grubs used for fishing?

collinite will freely admit 885 is 476 , the 885 is marketed towards boat and the 476 for cars, its just the 885 works out better value, although 476 will last a longgggg time
