Have often used Collinate 476 or p21s, but at the minute im not using a wax as such.

Im giving Carpro Hydro a go, so far pretty impressed.





This stuff looks amazing, really easy to do, hard to believe its that good for such little effort, can you get it in the uk?

Have you tried 915 or 476s ? Think 915 is best for dark cars and 476s is better for light coloured cars

Ive tried 845 on my DPB R32 last winter, and was great, very good durability and more "user friendly" then its 476s counter part.

Poorboys Natty Blue Wax - Cheap, Easy to clean off and can use in the sun.

Only drawback is that it doesnt last aslong as most of the expensive ones

dodo juice supernatural hybrid wax....


applied by bare hands, left to cure for approx. 1hr, then start to buff it off... I like it, it has a sealer in it also, which can only be good thing...
 

gives good beading, lasts until next applied, in a few months, but topped up in between every wash with a quick detailer...

so hard to say how good it really is or lasts... but I like it...

Just got another tub recently...

dodo juice supernatural hybrid wax.£29.99 per tub
its best of both worlds wax and sealant
i thought any wax was a sealant confused.com


applied by bare hands, left to cure for approx. 1hr,

1 hour i thought it would be caked on
does it just polish off nice and easy

was going to wash the car
then clay bar
AF tripple AIO

then wax ?
Poorboys Natty Blue Wax  good product cheap nice smell

Collinate 845 liquid bottle meant to go on easy and off easy well priced great company

Collinate 476 or 915 for dark colours i have black golf so could be good option

dodo juice supernatural hybrid or purple haze both get good reviews

so which one do i go for
do ihave to polish each part wing door rear panel with different wax ??????

what would u go for

Wax makes absolutely no difference to the finish of a car.

Dodo Juice waxes contain a sort of "dye" as part of the wax which can colour the surface but this wears off in a matter of days / first bit of rain.

There's only ever one wax you need to use which is Collinite 476s. It blows everything out of the water and there is nothing for the ease of use that can beat.

I agree with this ...polish gives you shine wax protects it ......one word about collinite ..don't do what I did and coat the whole car ..and stand back and admire ...took me two hrs to get off ...just do one pannel at a time and don't let it dry ...tbh it's the best wax I've used for silver ..I've used before PB natty paste and Dodo juice hard candy and this beats it

Yes leave it around 5-10 minutes tops.

If you want a really nice easy to apply wax, you can use G3 Super Resin Wax in the liquid form. Use a microfibre applicator pad, you can go around the whole car and it comes off so easily! Gives a decent 2-3 months of protection as well and smells really sweet.

Honestly Collinite is about 13-16 quid, you get a HUGE tin that can easily do 50 cars.

Assuming 3 months protection as a worst case, if you didn't prep the surface properly or whatever - You're looking at 4 applications per year, The tin would last you 12 years!
Use it on everything, although avoid using it on black textured trims as it does stain them slightly - You can remove the over application with a glass cleaner or diluted IPA.

Everyone bangs on about how a wax gives a nice finish but the art of detailing is in the polishing... put wax on a turd and it'll still look like a turd.
