Scott also washes with ONR which seems to make wax last longer. It must have Polymers in it . When I wash my car with it it leaves it shineyAccumulator said:

Heavyweight wax test: 845 v. 476s v. FK1000p, and 1 coat v. 2 coats

Very interesting test and results . Thank you for all you efforts and work. Since I have a DD that is exposed to elements and is black .
Getting 2-3 months is kind of a disappointment , but not bad . Obviously location has a lot to do with it but this summer we had a LOT of heat , humidity and not much rain . I had some tests going myself and seemed to be getting more from that from DG products . I even did a detergent wash without it failing .
The 3 you tested are some of my favorites . Just wondering when you did your re apply did you do a polish first before applying the 476 ? I have often wondered giving the nature of the 845 if you would use a PC if it would act like a 1 step type of product since there a solvents in it (like any liquid product has) .....just a thought . Then apply a coat or 2 of 476 .
The dirt shedding on these products is nice compared to some other products though . All in all I thing these are the protectors of the bunch and all great products . I have noticed when we DONT have the 100 degree temps and the weather is normal or going into and through winter these products really shine ahead .
As someone mentioned above I would like to try 915 but I do not have any . I only have the 3 you used .

extrabolts- Thanks for the update, that sun exposure must be a killer!
I thought I was the only person who thought 476S was even remotely trim-friendly! And even I think 845 is much better in that regard. You didn't want to try FK1000P on trim, huh? Maybe I oughta just stay quiet about that...you know- "don't try this at home, kids!" :chuckle:
lawrencea- For some reason ONR kills both 476S and 845 for me and also for the other person I know (IRL) who uses it :nixweiss People have, uhm...discussed...it both here and on the Optimum Forums with no real answer as to why, but it does it for me and my pal Bob (who has the '60 Jag MKII) without question.

I wonder why that is ? I kinda thought that too , but thought it was my imagination . It does not happen to me with 1000p though .

Nobody's ever come up with an answer; all the suggestions were things I'd already ruled out :nixweiss
I've only ONRed FK1000P on wheels, and the only downside was that the next cleaning was always harder for some reason (again, some unknown reason).
