Collinite 915 or 476. Very good IMO and long lasting.

Klass and then Zymol Concours. Looks like the paint is dripping wet!

i`ve got dodo juice wax which is good but the collinite 476s is so much easier to apply and buff off and quite cheap. I would also recomend the dodo juice prewax cleaner before waxing .

Another for Collinite 915. I have had my tin 2 years now and it's still 2/3rd's full.

id recommend collinite 915 for someone that doesnt like/want to wax their car every 6 weeks. It lasts for 3-4 months easily and makes washing a doddle. I dont believe the hype with the £100+ waxes.... im sure they do a smashing job, but i dont like paying for their marketing budget.
Collinite is used by folks in the boat industry to coat hulls.....it must be pretty good if they use it.

Colly 915 without a doubt. A big proper blind test was conducted on 6 top waxes last year on Detailing World. All cars indentically prepped and of the same colour/condition/model.
Swissvax Best Of Show came tops, with Colly 915 a close second on the opinion of all who attended the meet on the day.
The results in full:
1st: Swissvax Best of Show = 61pts - £135 a pot
2nd: Collinite 915 = 56pts - £22 a pot
3rd: Zymol Royale = 48pts - £8500 a pot (that's not a typo EEEK!!)
4th: Autoglym HD Wax = 47pts - £33 a pot
5th: Zaino Z2 = 46pts - £15 a bottle
6th: Raceglaze 55 = 42pts - £65 a pot
I find Dodo Supernatural lacking for the cost personally. I have three of their other waxes and got given a sample pot of the super, it didn't last as long as the other waxes I have and really didn't enhance the finish any more than normally get with their own waxes costing a third.

Yep Swissvax BOS for me its really is something, Zymol Destiny is another one. However its all in the prep so i would reccomend a good clay session, machine polish if you can and then cleanse with swissvax cleaner fluid or klasse all in one. Dodo lime prime is supposed to be good but never used it. Top that with Swissvax BOS and stand back and admire
