Re: Sealant comparison
Me too. I assume it will perform better than 845. Likely going to be able to reapply some to the Rover hood soon. And I have at least 10 test panels on the Sentra opened up - just need the time to apply them.
I don't have any 476. I can ask in the Samples thread.

Re: Sealant comparison
I don't either, KlasseAct told me it lasts longer and if it does that's just nuts

Re: Sealant comparison
It seems to be generally that 476 and 915 last longer than 845. I think 476 is the longest.
If I get some I'll see how it does here. Winter here is just endless, wet, dark, dreary, wet, mossy, wet rain. Cars outside are pretty much wet for 8 months straight and have a lot of contamination. I was going to post this pad pic when I show the new sealants on the Sentra, but may as well do so now.
I polished the hood a couple of weeks ago with a finishing polish and white pad. At the start of these tests I decon'd, compounded, and polished the hood. When I polished it again I was surprised at how dirty the pad was. Not terrible, but very visible dirt on it just after a few weeks. I assume it's due to the rain per Mike's post about it.
This is a white pad that was stained green by some glass polish. Dirt is most noticeable on the outside edge.

Re: Sealant comparison
That's crazy really how much dirt is already back on the paint.
Wonder if 476 or 915 have better gloss/shine/look after application than the 845. I'm floored with this on the wife's paint. I previously did megs #26 in liquid applied via pc on speed 3 with a 5.5 red ccs pad and thought it was ok. Can't imagine a wax or sealant meant for darker cars

Re: Sealant comparison
From Collinite:
1. No.476s – most durable protection/weather defense. Most elbow grease required during application.
2. No. 915- 2nd most durable and slightly easier than the 476s to apply/remove. No. 915 lends our warmest shine to dark tones like navy and black due to its highest concentration of rare carnauba.
3. No. 845- easiest of the 3 to apply/remove with slightly less durability than the No. 915.

Re: Sealant comparison
Haven't disappeared or forgotten about this. Been crazy and work and holiday stuff at home. About 3 weeks ago the Rover hood had very light rain overnight and the tape lines were clear for every section. Tried to get a pic which didn't come out very well. About 2 weeks ago I did a wash and got the same results: the 4 products on the right side are doing well, everything else is showing no sheeting.
Goal is to get picture updates posted this weekend and get a bunch of new products on the Sentra.

Re: Sealant comparison
Man, I'm in Beaverton and feel you...although, this week has been so nice, just too cold to do any detailing work on the outside.

Re: Sealant comparison
Thanks for the update. CG V07 likely won't make it a week in your environment. In Sunny So Cal weather, it didn't last at all for me! One try. That's all the chance I gave it (after trying CG Butter Wax that lasted less than a week).
I'm curious as to how long those mystery ones will last in your environment
