wax on...stress off...
Hey Guys,



Here is the question ( specialy to the experts: Dr427,Spilchy,Accumulator )...



Does #476 have a cleaners in it,or it's a pure wax, aka Souveran ?



Collinite.com doesn't say anything about it, and the Guru Report/Wax Test on page 20 is saying, that it does contain cleaners...



So,what is it? Yes or No.



PS.Sorry I posted in wrong Forum:o
 
I doubt it has cleaners in it. If it does, the durability is pretty darn good for the outcome. Gotta try it when I can!
 
Hey SergC how's it going. I might be new and low on posts here at Autopia, but I've been detailing cars for over 8 years now. And for at least 7 of them I've been using Collinite. I started out with 845 insulator wax and loved it. About 2 years ago I switched over to 746s super double coat paste wax. I just love this stuff. It lasts forever and produces one hell of a shine. As for your question. As far as I can see with working with this stuff an having asked questions with collinite and there dist. 746s and 845 are pure waxes. They contain no polishes in them, as Collinite strides to produce the best wax possible as their qoute



"Since 1912, Collinite Corporation has operated with one single purpose in mind: To provide the highest grade wax products possible regardless of costs. "



The only 2 products that I ahve used and can think of that do have cleaned properties in them are 840 pre-wax Sapphire cleaner and 850 Metal Wax which contain cleaners in it to remove rust dirt and oxidation with out strong acids or harsh alkali.



I hope this helps SergC. None of my customers have ever complained about me using this wax. Some have questioned it before I detailed there car and now they come back and hope I"m still using it because they loved it.

Hey Serg,



With all due respect to Accumulator and Spilchy, I think Collinite would know more about their waxes than anybody.

Actually, while manufacturers should always know more than the consumers, you don't always get straight/correct/consistent info from them ;) But that isn't an issue with Collinite, they're among the "good guys" :xyxthumbs



And what the folks at Collinite tell me *always* coincides with my own observations.



The people at Collinite are quite friendly and helpful. I had a good long talk with them about the way they'll have to change their products to deal with the new regs and they were quite open and forthcoming about the difficulties they're facing there (hint: I bought a case of the current/original formula 476S).



As Chubs stated, no cleaners in 476S. No abrasives, no chemical cleaners, nothing like that at all.
 
Thanks,Chubs,stevet,Accumulator !



I had that info from Guru Report:nixweiss



I'l take your word for it.





Regards,



Serg
 
according to Mike Oczkowski, Collinite CustService, the answer is "yes".



He responded:



"With the winter coming up I would recommend using our #476s Super Doublecoat Paste Wax.



The #476s provides the best protection and durability. The #845

is basically the liquid version of the #476s and is easier to apply and remove.



You probably get 1-2 months more protection using the #476s. Both products do contain petroleum distillates and they are pure waxes, not cleaner/waxes.



You can layer the coats of waxes, we usually recommend

waiting at least one hour in between applications.



Both the #845 and #476s do contain solvent so it might do some light cleaning if any.



Applying in layers will not effect the original layer applied. To completely remove the wax from the finish you would have to

apply a prep-solv".
 
476 is definately pure. I've not used the IW but I'd imagine being a liquid (and a pretty thin one I've heard) it would have to have some solvents.

Insulator wax is very thick. In fact you can't really call it liquid. It's similar to Poorboy's EX-P in thickness.
 
How do you take those completely off the car after it's usefulness is gone?



Kind of a stupid questions but can you place this on top of zaino?

By that time the *wax* is pretty much gone. Any paint cleaner/polish/etc. will do the job and prepare things for the next application.

Yeah, you could put it over most anything I can think of.
