No true car cleaning sesh is complete without waxing your ride, that special last step to provide extra shine and protection from road-borne nasties. Typically a process that follows the car washing step, waxing your ride can be tedious, but it's rewarding and absolutely worth it. Why? Well, apart from the glossy shine wax provides, the slick stuff also helps protect your freshly washed paint from rain, bird droppings, and other environmental contaminants.
The wax—like a shoe-polish consistency—requires a bit of friction to warm up, but once it's ready, the wax spreads on paint nicely. Collinite recommends waxing two-by-two-foot sections at a time, letting it dry, and buffing with a clean microfiber for best results, and that's what we did.Collinite claims seven to 10 months of protection and even calls the 476s its 'winter wax' to be used as a protective cover during the cold months.
