I used the Duragloss 901 car wash= awesome! Very sudsy and lubricated and you don't need a lot. I used the Duragloss 101 which is polish and a cleaner; it was ok, not a real deep shine on its own until I hit it with collinite 476s. Finally I tried the Car Pro PERL tire dressing; don't know about durability yet but makes a nice deep shine without having to use half a bottle and not glossy like some of the sling-off coatings.

I don't know why Collinite 476 isn't more popular. Easy on and off and killer looks.
Because it's inexpensive and been around forever and not the flavor of the month for $$$$$$$$$$$$.

People were complaining the 476s was a PIA to take off and they use the 845 but it was very easy to remove.

Welcome to Autopia!



Having used plenty of 476S, I can't imagine why anybody would find it hard to buff off :confused: :nixweiss



I mean, seriously, it just buffs right off. I even apply to the entire vehicle before buffing off and sometimes that means it sits there unbuffed for quite a while.



I suppose that maybe if it were applied goofy-thick and/or applied to an imperfectly prepped surface (think: "oxidation" perhaps), but it's just *never* been tough for me.



One thing though, you do have to watch using certain QDs on it, at least until it's finished curing/whatever-it-does. I tried a quick and gently buffing on fresh 476S using FK425, figured it'd give it a nice finishing touch; wrong, it messed up the 476S something awful, creating pseudo-holograms that I couldn't buff away. Utterly ruined a minutes-old wax job and forced me to redo the vehicle.
 
I'm not surprised anyone likes that Duragloss car wash and PERL. When I'm not using the Griot's car wash, they remain staples in my product collection.

No not me, in with the new and out with the old when I find a better product. Back in 2003 I was a Zaino nut and as soon as I found an easier product with the same results I threw that stuff out as fast as I could.
