very impressed by Collinite. Was in a hurry yesterday because i didn't have alot a time, so i got one coat on. a little harder to buff out then P21S/S100, but wow :eek: of course it starts pouring all day today:mad:the beads are very small and the dirt isnt sticking. again very impressed :up
 
I'm sure 476 provides good protection, but I wasn't impressed with the shine. I topped it with S100 the next day.



I use 476 on my chrome wheels. It's very durable and makes cleaning easy.

i only had time for one application, but i am very impressed with the shine. :shocked <-----everybody is asking what i did to my car. i clayed the entire car with the clay magic**blue** and used final inspection w/ pakshak micros. btw, i have a white 03 civic, again very impressed. i will be doing a second application this weekend and topping w/ s100 i purchased to rizon cycle middlesex.
 
Have you tried the "spit shine" method with Insulator Wax? Apply it with a foam applicator and use a quick detailer to spit shine the finish.

Very cool David ;) I am "winterizing" my Honda and Jetta this weekend.



Both will get Meguiars Speed Glaze, VM and topped with Collinite and AIO on the trim and windows.



I'm looking forward to trying it! Thanks!

:up :up It's a fabulous product. I haven't tried topping anything on it yet. Very easy to use and very versatile.



I have used it exclusively on cars I detail and ever since I have been getting calls back a week later telling me how great the car looks and that they love the beading action. They also love when they drive in the rain, when they pull in the garage, the car is nearly dry!
 
A spit shine wax job, like a spit shine on shoes, uses lubrication in the wax application process to get wax to "build up." Not many waxes will do it, but Insulator Wax will.



Here's how it works:



1. Dampen your foam pad with QD (I like my Handi-Grip pad because spit shining is a lot of work and your hand gets tired with a flat pad) then load it up with wax.



2. Apply the initial coat of wax to a single body panel, then mist lightly with QD and begin working in more wax. The QD will cause the applicator to float over the wax, and the build up begins.



3. Continue the process until you have a nice coating of wax worked. Then stop adding wax and continue to rub it in with just a light coating of QD and the remaining wax on the pad. You will get to a point where it is almost completely clear.



4. Buff of the remainder with a Concours Buffing Towel.



Bling, bling... nothing will match the finish of a spit shine!
 
Great tip. Thanks for the instructions. However, just my $.02, IMHO, I prefer the foam applicator over the Handi-Grip. The wax doesn't really "smear" well for me and I wind up having to press harder on the pad for some reason, tiring it out quicker. I like using my 4 fingers and pressing the foam pad against the body panel so it is parallel to the surface, massaging the car. But, that's just my opinion! I love the Handi-Grip for Blitz! Fits like a glove with uniform coverage.



What QD do you recommend?

I'm here! Day job has been unusually busy the last 6 months!



Resident Expert title probably should go to Spilchy. He never misses a Collinite thread :bow



Always love to see a Collinite thread!



Just put another coat on the wife's car today! (IW this time) I forever alternate between 476 & 845. Really depends on how lazy I am that day (or want to avoid house work).
