Collinite 476 or 915 for a Ohio Winter

[MJL1966]

Hi,

I'm looking for advice on using Collinite 476 or 915 for a Ohio winter. Which holds up the best? The car is garaged.

Thanks,
Mike

476 is the advertised longest durability at 8-10 months; 915 at 7-9 months. I think either will get you through If used in the fall, but the 476 being slightly more durable

Being from NEPA(similar winter) both work amazing with a slight edge to 476 for durability especially against road salts. 915 has the edge in the looks department, especially on darker colors. 845 if you prefer a liquid wax over a paste. All 3 Collinite waxes are winners in my book.

476 will easily last through the winter if applied late in the fall.

476 for the win [emoji818]️ Used through Canada winters for years [emoji300]️

•Any chance for a different selection
from the Collinite lineup besides #476,
or #915?

-I’ve always had better overall results when
I’ve used their IW #845 for Ohio’s Winters.

How about 1321, Bob?

476 topped with 845.

I suppose 845 could work, but according to Collonite info, 845 is better suited to summer UV protection and the OP was asking about winter protection, where 476 is the better choice.

Not from my experience.

{Of course: YMMV.}

I would defer to the more experienced members here but I have my own experience with 845. Late last fall I applied some to my sapphire black metallic 650iX and drove every day to work (110 mi round trip) in central Ohio weather. The salt mostly just rinsed off and I did rinseless washes (Wolfgang Uber) about once a week. It held up remarkably well and was still beading come springtime.

I will do it again this fall.

Can't go wrong with either one, really.

Like I said before, topping 476 with 845 would be doubly nice!

Sounds like the Ohio guys love the 845, so maybe you just roll with that. I myself have never tested any of them for durability over a winter, but I’m sure I will in the future.

Shame on me, having grown up in Syracuse NY, less than an hour west of Collinite HQ... If only I had the knowledge back then that I have today I may have taken my friends to the Collinite factory once a month rather than to the Native American Reservation for cartons of cigarettes (sigh)
