Its certainly not new as far as I know mate, its been around for years.

Its a bloody good product though, I am still seeing water beading off mine since I did it coming on nine weeks ago now. Since then it has had one wash and is still looking good.

Your results are all in the prep though remember.

Have been using collinite 476s for some time now i think it is a great wax it will last for a long time and look great just do two thin coats, or if you like hard work you can use collinite 915 marque d'elegance premium a very hard wax will last a long time, nice deep finish you can warm the tin to help on application.

I use Swisswax cleaning fluid and then 2 coats of Colinite 476s in the winter and Zymol in the summer. Once the Zymol has run out I will switch to Dodo wax. I understand the founder used a chemist to find out the ingredience of Zymol and then manufactured Dodo wax to a similar spec! but much cheaper

Ideally you need some kind of polish to get rid of the light scratches.

All the waxes are doing is putting a protective layer on all your hard work/paintwork.

The Dodo pre-wax cleaner might help you to get rid of those light scratches but i doubt it

You need something like some Meguiars #83 or 80, or maybe some Poorboys SSR 2 or 2.5 or even some of the 3M stuff.

Lynchy as said ight scratches need to be removed by machine really. You can lessen there effect by hiding them using a product that contains fillers, best one in my opinion is Autoglym super resin polish. Put on the super resin polish then top it with the dodo purple haze and see if that helps.

Another recommedation for Collinite 915.

I've been through god knows how many waxes and polishes, AG SRP + UDS/ EGP combo's, Chemical Guys, Swissvax, Dodo, Megs Stage products, NXT and Gold Class but to name a few, but for durability and deep shine 2 coats of Collinite 915 on top of a decent polish and glaze lasts ages and for me can't be matched on durability.

Ah, bugger, I took the plunge and bought some Dodo Hard Candy as my Colly 476 is nearly used up, but sounds like it might have been a waste of money.

I have used 476 for a while now, however I had my car machine polished (7 hour job) and topped off with 915.

It gives a real deep gloss IMO. I have not washed the car for two weeks and it still looks good.

Like people say, prep is the biggest difference, I use meguires hyper wash in a foaming bottle for the first soak, then wash off, then foam on again and use a lamb wool mitt to clean all the dirt off. then hose off and use a microfiber towel to dry. Next I use meguires clay with detailing spray (this makes a huge difference), then on to the autoglym ultra deep shine polish, then I use a BMW glaze which I got from a friend at work, and finally I use Poor Boys Nattys Blue Wax which is designed for darker colours.

It turned out like this.
