Now you're talking, JB! I use 476 on all my vehicles. (And on my snow blower)!! 476 is actually a hybrid. (Hence the petroleum odor). This stuff is TOUGH as nails, and I can easily get 10 months from it here on LI, NY. You are dead-on about not leaving 476 on any panel for too long. My method is to apply it THINLY to one panel, then immediately remove it. If you don't, your arms will fall off tying to remove it like you said. If this scares anyone, grab a bottle of Collinite 845 Insulator Wax. It is the little brother of the 915, 885, and 476. It is a liquid, and you can apply it to the entire vehicle before removing. Being a Collinite product, it can easily last 4-6 months. And you are 100% right about doing this religiously. To quote Mike Phillips (professional detailer): "Find something you like, and use it often". (JB----------- Check out Griot's wax removing towels. You can thank me later.) 😜
I really like this wax! It’s got it’s own spot in my detailing cabinet! I made the mistake of applying to my whole car a long time ago and then couldn’t get it off! Took years off my life lol! Right on! Find something you like and keep using it! I’m definitely checking out those towels! Thanks for sharing that! 👍👍
@@SL-yn4ju I’m sure any black trim protectant would work but I’ve used automatic transmission fluid in the past and it shines them up nicely! Doesn’t last though!
If your car isn't crazy clean like this guy's you NEED you use a strip wash and then an iron remover and clay bar before waxing. Collinite is a great wax.
Nice! We just got a Jeep Wrangler Willys 2022 in Black and like anything else I just needed some tips that come along having a Jeep in particular. Great video and back to basics!
Great video! I have tried more ceramic spray and graphene waxes than I can count. In the winter the protection is always gone from the lower half’s of my doors after one storm. Does this stuff hold up in the lower door areas where they are constantly sprayed from the front wheels? Thanks!
This wax usually lasts between 3-6 months. I typically wax my vehicles once every season. I’m in Buffalo and with out crazy weather coatings don’t usually last all that long.
@@GarageGear I built two raised garden beds yesterday. I used a pocket hole jig to insure that they stay together. They're 39 inches tall so that I don't have to bend over and weed. Just need to line them with plastic and put in some drainage holes.
Greetings from Whitesboro, about two blocks from Collonite. I just did two vehicles in 476S yesterday and liked it a lot. I'm originally from Glens Falls (Lake George area). My girlfriend is in Rome, hence my move to the west. I've noticed the winter salt impact is worse here than back home on the east side of the state....non-stop lake effect. Since you are driving vehicles notorious for rusting, I am hoping you can share what has been working for you on the undercoating side of things. At the moment I've been applying RP-342 Cosmoline in high-splash areas primarily frame and Corrosion Free 3000 (or called Rust Cure) out of Toronto inside doors and behind panels where they are unlikely to get exposed to a lot of dust or splashes....competitors to that would be Fluid Film or Woolwax. Thanks.
Hey Rich, I did a video on what I use to undercoat my vehicles. Check it out here BEFORE YOU UNDERCOAT YOUR TOYOTA TACOMA, WATCH THIS! ua-cam.com/video/srJ2TfYsQHU/v-deo.html I think this should answer most if not all of your questions! Collinite is a great wax! 👍thanks for watching
@@GarageGear hey nice video!!! My coworker got a brand new Tacoma and she trusted me and not the Toyota undercoating. She told the dealer to skip the undercoating and she had me coat it with cosmoline and some film.
@@richcombs4805 thanks bud! Sounds like she’s all set for winter and salty roads! Dealerships charge way too much for that anyways and usually don’t do a good job.
Hi @Garage Gear, just ran across this video. I know you mentioned that you don’t do much prep (clay, machine polish, etc.)…Aside from a good wash, I was curious if you strip wash the previous coat of wax, or if you just wax “as is” after your paint is dry? Thoughts? Thanks!
Hey Gabriel, I keep things realistic when it comes to detailing! I wash and dry the vehicle thoroughly then dry it. Then wax it! Most waxes are a cleaner wax and as they are applied they’re cleaning the paint too. I’ll clay bar the vehicle once a year really quick before a wax if necessary. I apply wax once per season! One coat that’s it. I don’t have time to spend all day on it. Plus I’ve had a lot of vehicles hold up well and shine nicely year after year following this plan! And in salty Buffalo this plan works just fine!
Waxing your vehicle definitely adds a layer of protection. In my area, roads are salted heavily and it helps keep salt from sticking to the vehicle. The shine is just a plus! Lol! Lots of good waxes out there!
Great question! The meguiars will last probably 3 months longer but I have seen nothing stick to a Collinite waxed car in winter. Everything sheets right off! Pretty amazing. I. The winter that could be a big help. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching Positive vibes!
It seems to be ok with trim! I’ll be posting a video tho on how to remove wax on plastic trim. Stay tuned for that! Thanks for checking out my channel!
Thanks Anthony! The hard top on this Jeep was made of a dense plastic. No need to wax this kind. My parents have a Sahara and that hard top is painted. If it’s painted, it needs to be waxed. Thanks for checking out my channel!
@@anthonyviscusi4042 there are black plastic trim Protectants out there that you could use. I have even used automatic transmission fluid on these panels too and got the same results. Both last equally as long. Both wash off after a rain shower or two. ATF is cheaper tho!
Dave hey Dave! I’ve tried using those detailers to maintain the wax coats in the past. They seem to last only about a week with my ever changing weather. That’s why I just prefer to consistently wax every 3-4 months. Collinite makes good stuff. Thanks for watching!
Thin wins, thick sticks. I'm stealing that! 👍
There’s no copyrights to it! Go for it! Thanks for watching as always Flint!

Thanks for the amazing video, question... What do you use to protect the black fenders and black roof? Mine are washed out and almost chalky.

Ive never waxed my car. Iv had it for 7 years. I had no idea there was like a actual protection aspect to it. I thought it was just to make it shiny.

My favorite wax
Damon Owen it’s good stuff! No complaints about it! Thanks for watching!
Which Paste Wax is better for the harsh Winter? Meguiars Ultimate Paste Wax or Collinite 476?
Great question! The meguiars will last probably 3 months longer but I have seen nothing stick to a Collinite waxed car in winter. Everything sheets right off! Pretty amazing. I. The winter that could be a big help. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching Positive vibes!
@@GarageGear Thanks for the help and responding quickly 👌🏾
@@positivevibes4957 no problem bud! 👍
How does the wax react to accidentally touching rubber or trim? Can you buff it off?
It seems to be ok with trim! I’ll be posting a video tho on how to remove wax on plastic trim. Stay tuned for that! Thanks for checking out my channel!

Thanks Anthony! The hard top on this Jeep was made of a dense plastic. No need to wax this kind. My parents have a Sahara and that hard top is painted. If it’s painted, it needs to be waxed. Thanks for checking out my channel!
@@GarageGear If I want to freshen up the look of the roof, what product should I use? I have a black Jeep with a black roof. Thanks.

do you use collinite detailer to maintain?
Dave hey Dave! I’ve tried using those detailers to maintain the wax coats in the past. They seem to last only about a week with my ever changing weather. That’s why I just prefer to consistently wax every 3-4 months. Collinite makes good stuff. Thanks for watching!
Garage Gear this is noted. by the way before waxing it, what lubricant do you used on applying clay bar?
