The pics with the chrome stripes showing up in the paint are extraordinary!

I finally got my hands on this stuff lol. I will post pics when I get a chance to apply it sometime this week. But i figure i would toss this out to everyone, when I was purchased it, the guy recommended collinite's Marque D'Elegance (915) paste and i figured that the 845 was good enough for me at the time. My question to all you guys is: have you used the 915? whats the difference in terms of quality between the two?

If you want to go paste, get the 476. The 915 is supposed to be something for guys that just gave to spend big dough on wax. It's no better than the regular paste. That is how the Collinite guys tell it themselves. They don't use it on their own stuff. Just the regular paste is as good as 915 for a fraction of the cost. Or use 845 if it's your thing. Check some of the detailing forums, guys that have talked to Collinite directly say the same thing.

Same here. I've got a bottle of 845 and a can of 476S and that's it for me. I've
spent to much money on the Megs and Menzerna but not anymore. The quality
of the Collinite coupled with the decent price will do me just fine.

915 and 476s isn't really that expensive when you consider how many uses you will get out of it. Should last 3 or 4 years for one vehicle.

I think I'm going to stick with autoglym ultra deep shine for myself. The depth and gloss it achieves with my sterling gray is awesome. I alos like the fact it has cleaners and fillers to hide swirls and protects just as well as a finish wax.

That's a great write-up KBS, thanks. I will most likely be using the 845 this evening. I guess it's just a simple wax from what everyone I saying- apply the wax, let it haze, then wipe off. Am I correct?

Yes. I did the whole truck before buffing it off. Paint was cool, in the shade and cool outside temp. Put it on thin.
