@dotnetmatt: two hands down Collinite wins in terms of durability, but if you're looking for a go to wax for in between Collinites then Optimum Car Wax is the thing for you, see since its rainy season nowadays my recommended application of collinite would be every 2 to 3 weeks, now if you wash you car everyweek and is a fan of spray waxes then Optimum Car Wax fits you well since its a real car wax and its not even classified as a spray wax or a wax booster and it very much compliments Collinites durability prolonging it, aside from that OCW gives you a nice shine comparable to the better OTC brands while providing a longer lasting shine than even some of the popular paste waxes at the ease of a QD since you basically use it just like a QD, so you can actually wax your car in just 15 minutes and less, i really won't compare it with Collinites but i will definitely use it at my inbetween Collinite waxing, they both work very well together

hindi ba nakakastrip ng clearcoat ang clay? sabi ni sir Edwin rubbing compound daw yung clay bar

@SG: silvertop! sakitin. hehe

@dotnetmatt: nice detail sir! akala ko nung isang pic nagpa carbon fibre hood na kayo



thank you ma'am!

just washed the car again (after that detail), and I think the 476 is still alive

What SG said would most probably be what he meant, clay it made of abrasives that are pretty much like rubbing compound turned into a clay texture, but since its able to mold and re-shape itself it takes a lot of its abrasiveness away it is only abrasive unto rough part and spots on the paint, one thing you would notice when trying to clay off a paint transfer would be that while your claying the paint over spray or transfer it slowly wears off pretty much like wet sanding but the other parts that are smooth are left unharmed just the part which stands out are getting abraded, and thats also why its great for removing on top of the paint bonded contaminants and requires a lot of lubrication.
