Can collinite 915 compete in looks?

There is no correlation in price and performance so these do not go hand in hand. Collinite makes some great products and Collinite 845 is one of my favorites...it also happens to be the least expensive wax I own...:props:
 
They say that 95% of looks is the prep work done beforehand. So why not apply a wax that can go the distance?
 
Prep is the key. You can make Collinite 845 looks pretty much like SV Crystal Rock...Proper prep = lots of machine polishing hours...

The last two waxes I've used were Collinite 915 and Swissvax Concorso. They look pretty darn close IMO. As others have mentioned, the key is what you have done up to the point of waxing your vehicle. For the winter time, I am going to polish with the Meg's MF DA kit and then top it off with either two coats of 915, or 1 coat of 915 and 1 coat of Swissvax. But yes...everything that I have read about 915 says that it can stomp with the big dawgs.
 
915 is awesome stuff. Crazy durability with looks that last.

I am going to try something that someone suggested, which is to cut open the bottom of the collinite 915 can and spread it on a red CCS pad. I just need to figure out a storage container for it.
 
I love 915 but, It does not do as good a job at making my flakes in my Brilliant Black Jeep pop like P21S.

That's what I did with 915.. swiped the idea from someone else somewhere. Find some coffee that still comes in small cans with a plastic lid or a powdered drink container with a plastic lid. I had one that fit the 915 can perfectly... just put wax back in the tin and put the lid on the bottom.

I spread it on my pads with a paint brush that I cut the bristles down on. Works great.

Didn't even think about that! Or I could get one of those plastic/stainless steel air tight canisters for storage!!! Thanks!!! I'm definitely going to do that!!!

Thats not a bad idea either. Someone suggested using a butter knife to spread it on.
 
I have been using a plastic spoon but I really like the paint brush idea.

Unlike some butter-smooth waxes 915 is pretty hard, probably end up with a tin of crumblies if you dig into it. Or not.

I use a plastic butter knife to shave a bit off the top, even if it crumbles, its no biggie, just smear it on the foam pad.
