Collinite 476s or Finish Kare FK1000P?

[Jaywoo-GTI]

I am stuck between Collinite 476s or Finish Kare FK1000P,
Both offer great longevity for beading and protection but which is better, I want some to use on my daily car,
Or does anyone have a better product for around the same price bearing in mind i already have Kleen Freaks wax for the GTI.

Can't comment on Coli but I've used FK1000p and it's very good. Also doubles up as a great wheel wax too.

Cheers Carl, Trying to get my hands on a sample pot of it that i saw on DW but cant seem to get one

It's not that expensive to buy and the tub you get will last you years

Both are pretty much the same. I think Collis is a hybrid so wax and sealant whereas FK is sealant. TBH I've used two coats of FK followed by two of Collies for winter protection. Lasted six months.

Stealth, Which do prefer for finish and ease of use, Heard FK can be a bit hard to get off if the panel is to cold or applied to thick?

Both are pretty much similar.

TBH I've only ever applied them to my car - black diamond pearl. I found the FK1000P gave a kind of glassy look - a bit like the car was wrapped in clingfilm. The downside was that I felt it muted the flake. This wasn't much of a problem in dull overcast winter. The 476s was less shiny but allowed the flake to pop a bit better.

As always, follow the usual advice - apply thin layers and buff frequently, especially in this weather. In winter, I could do half the car and buff off. Leave it too long and both are a PITA to buff off.

if you use the collinite, put it on one panel at a time (or even half a panel on roof and bonnet) and then buff off.

leave it too long and it goes like concrete and its a nightmare to get off.

FK1000p with FK#2685 Pink Wax over the top gives a nice finish.

Thanks for the help guys, I think i am gonna purchase some FK1000P.

I use fk1000 its really great especially on silver cars, looks even better when u finish with extra slick body spray from fk

476s FTW   

Not come across anything more durable 

Also has a lil bit of polish in there too

Too true!

FK isn't that bad. I left it once for abut an hour (inadvertently) and it wasn't too hard to get off.
