Collinite 476 still necessary?

[gearguru]

Hello All,

Will a paste wax like Collinite 476 still be a "necessity" if I am already doing the below?

Wersktat twins (on a quarterly basis)
OCW (monthly)

I'm set to buy a gallon of ONR and thinking back and forth if I will include a Collinite 476. Looking back how I take care of my car, it seems I'm buying this just for the sake of completing my kit (already developed a AG buy syndrome)!

PS Another thing leading me not to buy a Collinite is I don't plan to spend on a polisher


Thanks,
Dino

the 476 would be overkill imo,especialy if you are goin to use ocw on top of the werskatt stuff-the water will go into convultions when it hits your car without 476

Thank you for validating my concern

OCW had durability in the 3-5 mos. range easily. An application every month seems like overkill.

Unfortunately not over here in the Philippines (where both gearguru and myself are located) - the combination of monsoon and typhoon rain, tropical heat and humidity, and the industrial pollution of a developing city is pretty harsh on any LSP. OCW gets about a month, 845 is six weeks to two months, and you're doing pretty well to get 476 to last three months.

WOW!!! OK THEN... makes sense now...

Yeah, adding 476 to your routine is a bit of overkill, but here at AGO we're all about overkill. If I had to work without my polisher, I'd go with 845 instead. Use a bit of OCW or DG Aquawax as a drying aid from time to time when you do your ONR washes and you'll probably go from Spring to Fall easily.
