    Ya'll can keep your hot new sprays and leave me with my good ol' can of Collinite 476. That is all. Thanks for clicking.

    it's my go-to long-term sealant if someone wants to go that route vs a coating. downside to it IMO is static and dust attraction.

    Re: I've tried all kinds of waxes and sealants and I keep going back to Collinite 476.

    I have similar tried and true stories in my life. With everything from hunting, guns and certain brands i'm loyal too. But will say that it's good every now and then to peak into the new stuff. You might be surprised.

    Any suggestions for LSPs that are better for avoiding static and dust attraction?

    Took the words right out of my mouth, Bobarooski.

    I’ve spent most of my life seeking out simplicity in my hobbies and interests. When I first approached getting back into detailing it was kind of overwhelming considering all the new options (2008->2018ish hiatus) available.

    Since then I’ve been searching for stuff that “just works” that I can stick with. It’s been proving difficult, but I feel like I’m on the home stretch at this point.

    I’m not one to dream of shelves full of products, but maybe one shelf full of stuff that does exactly what I want, with very little redundancy.

    I feel the same way about 845. I've done side by sides with so many products and a couple of coatings. The dust issue is so trivial if even real. Same with perceived dirt shedding.

    Coatings. Of all the waxes and sealants I just find they all tend to be solid but just don't self-clean or sheet dirt nearly as well as a coating and general tend to not release dust as well either. In fact it's early Pollen Season right now but it's still raining down dust all day and my two vehicles, the black Q50 and blue Jeep are both coated and my nieghbor watch me litterally leaf blow both clean. I may even just go do a video for giggles

    Don't get me wrong, Collinite 476 and Finish Kare 1000P are my two favorite go-to hybrid sealants and I love them. FK in the summer and 476 in the winter. I just have moved onto what I feel are more effective products in ceramic coatings.

    Cool Re: I've tried all kinds of waxes and sealants and I keep going back to Collinite 476.

    I'd never argue with anyone who loves #476 double coat, or #915 for that matter and this is coming from someone who's all about coatings and spray on, hose off toppers. These products are true "old school" products, right down to the metal tin they're in even, LOL! The only thing "new school" you wanna apply when using those products is the "thin is in" method, those Popeye arms from the old days are overrated, trust me, LOL!
