Aly Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Just bought some as I've nearly finished my HD wax and wanted to try this for a while.. Wanted to ask what's the best way to use it, as I've read some reviews that state you should apply it to a panel at a time and then remove it before the next panel... I normally do the whole car and then remove it.. But apparently 476s gets harder to remove if left on a while! (the A6 is a big ass car) Also is it best to use a damp sponge like the HD wax? Cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarab 330ci Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I done mine 2 weeks ago with collinite 476, mine came with sponge applicator and microfiber cloth, I did maybe 2 panels at a time with a lightly damp sponge then buffed with the microfiber, its not too hard to buff if left on too long so I wouldnt worry to much, test a small area first to get a rough idea. Great stuff, I gave mine 2 coats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genbloke Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 It's not too difficult to use- use a damp applicator/microfibre and make sure you don't cake it on! When applied thinly it will come off easily. It's a brilliant wax, best characteristic is that it lasts for ages on the car! scrimja 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz 330 Cs Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 As above, only a thin smear is required. You don't need to plaster it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highside23 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) I use 915 on mine, I assume it's similar (?) Damp aplicator pad, thin smear, leave for 30 mins buff with microfiber. Give it another thin coat after for longer lasting results. Edited June 10, 2012 by Highside23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich_D Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I use a foam applicator, do one section/panel at a time, thin layer, allow to dry and buff off with a microfibre, repeat if you want to double coat as a prep for winter for example Can be harder to remove if you let it bake on in the sun, but it's not too bad normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_330CI Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 It's be very dependent on temperature mate. Do a panel and keep your eye on it. You really dont want this stuff drying hard. The only way you can really buff it off once it's set is to add another layer over the top then buff that back. It does last for ages and gives a nice shine. Wouldnt really bother putting it over anything though, it's very chemically and will "probably" remove anything else like SRP or Glazes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aly Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Well I done it last week when there was a break in the weather... I done a couple of panels at a time, it was quite hot so got quite hard.. Think I'll do a panel at a time next! And do it nearer evening time.. (when the sun is away) Less is definitely more!

Matt_330CI Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Aly, is not recommend doing it in fading light mate. If you miss bits, and you probably will, you won't be able to see them. I did exactly that when I used it. I leave the colli for my wheels now and use Megs #26 on the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highside23 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 It's best to to use warm water on the applicator to soften the wax then do 2 light coats. If your getting a load of wax thats hard to get off your putting to much on and wasting it. Thin coats wipe of easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
