ahaydock Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Good one SPLiiX! The difference between the two is minimal. IMHO the 915 will give you a better finish, and has a higher carnuaba content so in theory should be more durable. Also the 915 actaully works out cheaper £ for £, although it initially costs more, you get more of it. I put on two coats of 915 in January and it is still beading like the day I first did it. This was the result (there was polishing/glaze prior to the wax btw): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 885 is £20 from http://www.shipshapenorfolkltd.co.uk/ the main supply of collinite in the UK with free shipping. Its 476 but 12oz in the marine can. I think 845 IW is the easiest to apply!! Personally i think FK1 Pink Wax and then the ultra durable High-Temp paste (very durable) looks better but is about £35 a can. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz7 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 915 is Collinite's range topping wax - it has a higher carnauba content than 476s, and gives a glossier, wetter looking finish. 476s can be used to give a clearer finish, especially if you're trying to show flake. As said above, 845 is their easiest wax to use - they list it as their 'summer' wax, but it's still ultra durable, more so than most other manufacturer's waxes.

ahaydock Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 That said I didnt find the 915 hard to use at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz7 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 ahaydock - fully agreed; despite what i said about the #845, #915 is not a difficult or fussy wax to use at all. Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexc Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 The #915 also gives a better finish on darker colours, it's easy to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Yes, it looks superb on mine when Nathan valetted and machine polished it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelwind101 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Your better off with a nice sealant on on silver IMO. You can get the longivity like Collinite with the better metalic kick on Akoya Silver. Something like Wolfgang Sealant would be good. You can glaze underneath and top with a "looks" wax in nicer weather. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_C Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I swear by the Wolfgang sealant on my silver cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I'll second that, works far better than 476S , AG SRP / UDS or even Megs Gold Class on my black car with a glaze underneath. Just applied my second coat yesterday for winter protection and the water beading qualities are superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johna1 Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I think ill order some 915 and give it a try. Just although autoglym egp is durable it doesent last that long. Can this colonite stuff be used on chrome trim as well? anyone know where you can get it the cheapest? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 AVCE On my other post i put where u can get it cheap (free p+p) plus a heads up on a good deal on 885. What colour car have you got?? Collinite is not the all and end of all durable good looking LSPs. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelwind101 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Sorry to jump in, im still browsing!! Motorgeek. Use a paint cleaner first, hit the paint with some RMG, then your Wolfgang sealant and then add some PS in the warmer months!! Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz7 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Use a sealant, topped with a 'non heavy' wax like Optimum for the best finish on silver Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsmith Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I also swear by Wolfgang Sealant. It rocks and I use it on a Dark Green Freelander and Black A2 presently. Looks great after Red Moose Glaze too, as per Geoff's recommendation. Yet to top it with Souveran as the weather has not been good enough having done the Sealant recently before! Have a Red Mk3 Golf to fully detail soon as replacement for the Freelander that is going up for sale, so that should really show it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsmith Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Wash first, then do whatever Polish & Prep you require, then Glaze (if wanted) and then apply the Sealant before any Wax. You dont need to Wax on top if you dont want to but it does generally improve the finish a lot, dependant on wax of course, as the Sealant can look a little clinical compared to a wet look wax.

wyliss Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Seeing as the guys on here recommend the wolfgang for my colour of car which wax would be ok on top and also whats the score with the glaze..new to me this? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi Dibbs LSP means last stage protection. This doesnt have to be wax it can be a polymer or resin synthetic product, a wax, or combonation of both. You dont really need to top Wolfgang, it looks so great on its own. You would really own want to place a "beauty wax" over it to improve its looks. Something like Collinite would tame the looks of Wolfgang sealant. Your paint is porus, if you can apply a glaze to the paintwork and this will give the paint a deeper, wetter look. On silver this great when its in the shade, a glaze like ClearKote RMG will help bring out the metalic pop. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyliss Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Any pointers as to where to get the wolfgang, clearkote & 303 aerospace protectant together to keep postage down Thanks for your help geoff ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
