Looking for the Collinite that is most durable, but still gives great shine and depth. Any ideas? 845, 476, or 915? This is for my parents car, which I wont be working on a lot since I am at school for 8ish months out of the year and only come back sparingly. I plan to use Wolfgang 3.0 sealant on it first. Is that a good idea? Its for a dark blue benz. I know there is a topic below, but Im trying to get a feel for these three. Thanks all

I've got no experience with those that you listed. There have been many on here say positives about all three. The one that I use and continue to replace is the "Fleetwax" #885 (link below). I've used it on my motorhome. My neighbor has used it on about six different cars. All looked great. I'm very pleased with looks and durability.

Wolfgang DGPS is pretty tough stuff. Easy on and easy off. That's the one I would go with for your parents' vehicles as the Collinite waxes are insanely durable, but difficult to buff off.

I have used 476s on two different occasions on some sections for the first time recently and it does not seem that difficult to buff off. I did not wait that long -- just long enough to haze -- before removing. I thought if anyone would have issues with it it would be me because I usually apply it too thick when doing it by hand.

I'd vote 476 -looks good and very durable. I have never had any issues removing either

The most durable Collinite wax is 476S. The best looking is 915. The easiest to apply/remove is 845. These are your options.

915 is definitely the best looking and lasts longer then any carnauba paste wax I have ever used. It's my wax of choice for my dailey drivers.

I used #885 the last time I waxed (January...!!) and the water is still beading up, though not as nicely as back in Jan.

My vote is for 476s, but haven't tried all, just another

I had a durable collinite, but the doctor removed it last week
during my collinoscopy

Just FYI 885 is the same as 476S, and is a slightly better value. It's the most durable wax I've encountered and is fairly good looking and easy to use.

915 is my favorite wax so far. For $30 a can, I think everone should try it.

Fwiw. Out of about 30 waxes with carnauba, 915 was one of the few waxes left standing after 6 1/2 months. Test was done last year. 915 beat 476s by several months.

The person testing these products was the same person who tested the sealants not long ago. Wolfgang 3.0 was one of the few left standing in the sealant test.

Also, in a blind test on another board 915 beat out Z. Royale, Z-2, Raceglaze, Autoglym, and raceglaze. Best of show was voted ahead of 915, by a few points. However, several of the main testers said "side by side" they couldn't tell the difference in BOS, and 915. Another good thing.. 915 is cheaper, and last longer than others tested.

I've tried both 845 and 476s and I'd say if you were to choose between the two, 845 hands down.

476s was probably the most disappointing product I've tried in recent memory.

If you've got anything interesting you're willing to trade for I'd send you my 3/4 full tin of 476s (even in light of this glowing endorsement). LOL

I have been using 845 on my 4Runner and Corolla and not only am I impressed with the shine and gloss and ease of removal, it LASTS!

Has anyone tried the SS126? I heard it lasts longer than 845 and want to put this on all my vehicles in October because they won't get waxed again until March.
