[Winter prep] Collinite 476s on the civic

Thanks! My Z06 is next!

I am fairly certain it'll be getting 105-205 or SIP-PO85RD or Nano(super finish). It needs it.

Looks awesome!

I like 476 much better than 845. I use it like a wowo wax. I can do my F150 in about 20 minutes and it looks great.

Thank you! Yes, I dig 476s! I think it is becoming my favorite wax. Considering I was a Zaino user since late 1999, I hadn't really used waxes since then.

The paint looks fantastic considering it's 18 years old and has probably never missed a day of work

WickedLou, thanks.

I can't confirm but I'm fairly certain parts have been touched up here and there. It's been VERY good to me in the 14 months that I've owned it.

. I got caught in the rain this morning going to work. Those tight, pellet sized beads made me grin heading to work.

It rained here in CT for four days on and off. The honda is a daily driver. I just washed it for the first time since I waxed it with Collinite. Let me tell, you, it's a beautiful thing

The hood wasn't as tight as the rest of the car, but everything else was right on the $. I have it washed and drying now, going to put another quick, light coat of 476s on. We won't have too many days like these left so I am taking full advantage! Also going to wax the jambs which should protect things a bit better there. After this, it's on to my z06.

If it's nice where you are, I hope you're enjoying it!! Have a great weekend.

Just for fun, I applied a little heavier coat to the civic. Just to see if it was any more difficult to remove, I used a 100 percent cotton towel to take the wax off. No difference

Easy on, easy off. I think I found myself a new final product! Love how slick the finish feels after it's wiped off. This is good stuff!!

The Z06 turned out beautifully. Per Mike's suggestion, I Used SIP then PO85RD with Hydra-Tech pads on the FLEX. Finished it with Zaino, but Collinite is definitely going on.

I washed and dried the civic today. Added a coat of 845 Collinite with the cyclo and some blue pads. I love this little beater
