Detergents and Collinite #476

**Odisious** · 03-21-2015, 10:01 PM

Is Collinite #476 detergent proof? I thought that only coatings or ceramics, quarts, nano-glasses were able to actually be detergent proof. I've never heard or seen anything in regards to what Collinite does to boost its wax to make it last so long, but also never looked into #476 until today and was surprised to see "detergent proof" in the description.

It never happened to me yet

New formula?

They've been calling it "detergent proof" for 40 years. If you want to get into the semantics of that, you'll have to wade into "permanent", "durable polishes" etc.

Detergent 'proof' would be a bit on the strong side for any product like collinite. It will, however, be strongly detergent resistant. The same thing will be true for almost any wax or sealant. If you want to experiment, get a bit of wax and throw it in a container filled with washing up soap - I guarantee you that it will not dissolve (whether you leave it for a minute or a year!).

I see...That's a good way to put it...Detergent proof in an environment that's not necessarily exposed to what a vehicle's paint is exposed to. Does the 476 kick 845's butt?

Smack's it, not kicks it. 476 lasts longer and on my black paint look's better. It got me through this past harsh winter w/lot's of salty roads for over 4 months with NO TOPPER'S.

Can someone tells what a detergent is?

I'm thinking Tide.

How was dust and cleanability? I didn't like how dust and road tar were difficult to remove when I used 845...Better than other LSPs but 845 didn't hold a candle to the cleanabiliy of DP coating I have on one of my DDs. My truck I'd like to not coat and keep that as my experiment vehicle because it's not a DD.

Not much different that I noticed from 845 and 476 in cleanability, sooooo...
you should start to think about using Sonax PnS because from what I'm reading about this product, your vehicle will practically wash itself after some rain.
