I am 20+ years removed from the car industry. I started as a 16yo kid washing cars which evolved to detailing and eventually painting before a career change at 22. Your videos are very educational and have inspired me to take better care of my vehicles and appreciate the gratification of a clean vehicle again. Keep it command thank you.

[@Foxxtrott1100]

#26 High-Tech Yellow... On my 20 year pilgrimage for the Ultimate shine I've found nothing better imo. What I like most is it layers like a beast. The more you apply the deeper the shine and it's very durable.

[@Logan-te3iq]

I use that as well

[@audieconrad8995]

I'm just coming across this video in 3/24. I'm a driveway/enthusiast who still thinks that even at 6 years old, this video is relevant. Even in 2024, with all of the newest, latest & greatest - good carnuba wax, STILL has its place, especially with looks and appearance. I really enjoyed your critique of the pastes. When it comes to the Collinite well...if it's hard to come off, then it's hard to come off! Lol...hence it's durability. Gr8 stuff. I look forward to seeing your other vids. Shine on you crazy diamond!

@@autofanaticcars I just joined your channel. Absolutely love the content and videos. I just discovered Colinite 845 insulator wax last week so this Saturday, I am trying Colinite 976 double coat wax this weekend. I grew up polishing cars with my father starting in 1984 when I was 8 years old. Uggg, those monthly sessions of waxing in the driveway were overbearing sometimes because his product of choice was Simonize in the yellow can or blue coral by hand. Let simonize dry more than a minute, it was like candle wax. Now a days, I bought cordless Ryobi orbital buffer from home Depot to do my cars. Once again, luv your channel.

[@autofanaticcars]

i did a demo of the griot wax again tonight for a friend i honestly think its so greasy because it must have bees wax or palm oil in it. the p21s flash time is just way to long i gave it away tonight. Collinite is just the best i feel.

[@etow8034]

Collinite 915 is Collinite's attempt at a boutique wax is the same as Collinite 476S and 885 Fleetwax, just with a coconut scent and cost much more. Apply it thinner the better the protection a tin should last you more than 40 years if you apply it twice per year on an average size car. I personally like Collinite 845 Insulator Wax it is easier to work with and durability is just little less than 476S. Finish Kare 1000P High Temp paste wax is giving the Collinites a run for the money and most detailers have replace it over the Collinites.

[@e4eda]

Hi there, your videos are simply awesome and very straight forward. I did see all of your videos and they amazing.. I wish you, all the best and keep doing such videos. I’m new to this stuff and your learning paths are so intuitive.

[@2010stoof]

Wait, if liquid carnauba is junk, what about collinite 845?? That stuff is awesome! Not as shiny as the 915 in this video, and less durable than the 476s but a great wax.

[@autofanaticcars]

845 is good i did not show that in this video since i did not have any but a majority of liquid waxes are filled with fillers and silicones and do not last one bit. I still feel 915 is the best paste wax for the money and thousands have tried it since my video and agree it is the best they ever used.

[@2010stoof]

@@autofanaticcars I agree. All collinite waxes seem great. I like to dual layer jescar power lock+ and collinite 845. However I will be picking up the 915 and tell 476s as well.

[@danlc95]

I had the Collinite 845, and 915 through the years. These days the only paste waxes I use these days are Meguiar's M26, and Zymol Carbon, which is what I started with in the 90's. Is did find some Megs M16 which is really nice. I like sealants more these days though.

Agree with everything you said about the bottle O' Wax products from CG etc; but Collinite 845 is great. I just got a new car and its without a ceramic coating. I've just done a winter prep, started V07 drying aid, 1 coat of 845, cured for 3 hour, and applied 1 coat of 915. the slickness and Gloss is miles ahead of the Gtechniq coating I had on my old Mustang.

[@johnf.greene897]

Collinite paste wax 885 or 915 should be put on with a damp pad and removed right away as per lable.I have used 885 / 1978 /2018 it's THE BEST WAX out there.Use it on black trim/rear and side glass/tail/head lights use very little wax. I get at least 25 or so cars waxed with can of #885.

[@autofanaticcars]

yep i did a video on how i apply 915, always spray the pad to help it flow out better etc. awesome stuff i have been using it for 30 years

[@waruaki1]

Great videos, thoroughly enjoy them and appreciate your knowledge. Would you consider doing a detail video on the interior of your GT350 and what cleaner/conditioner's you use on the upholstery and panels and why?

[@autofanaticcars]

yes i will be doing that along with a few others once i get some free time in my schedule, I plan to do a detail video of the wheels and calipers specific to this car next along with wax regimen. thanks for watching and the support, much more to come on this channel

[@GQ-jr5ro]

I've used the chemical guys butter and I dig it. But I'll try paste next. My cars are everyday drivers so they get more washes like every two weeks. And it still shines pretty good

[@doingcarthings]

Hey man - Because I like trying different waxes, I've tried a bunch - one of the was the P21S that you show here. I think it works great but also had a similar opinion as you regarding the size and the need to scoop it out....then...I figured out that the P21S product is pretty dense and turning the container upside down, allowing the brick of wax to partially fall down onto a foam machine pad (don't let it all the way out of the white container, just hold it to the pad) - it was awesome. Just turn the machine on low for a moment and you have product on the pad. I really liked this setup. The only downside is when the P21S was almost run out, it was easy for it to fall out of the container during the process - and it fell on the ground, ruining it.

[@autofanaticcars]

Doing Car Things yeah same deal with zymol as containers are same size i still prefer the larger tins and Collinite if you ever get a chance to try it post feedback here. i only wax by hand never tried to with a DA. thanks for watching

[@doingcarthings]

Depending on the car and the risk for getting wax on trim and such - I love a machine on slow with a blue/grey or whatever pad is the no-cut, soft applicator pad. It's fast and honestly, feels like it's more evenly applied.

[@ReneUhlver]

Well, I used R222/P21S quite a lot and it definitely looks different how the wax spreads and dries on the surface shown in the video, to me it just seemed it was the Mother's that was applied.. to buff it out, same thing, it is just drier than how it shows in the video. And I quite don't understand how one would wax 4 times the same spot if since the very first layer of wax would already fill the paint, treating the surface... of course the second layer always enhance the previous one, but 4 I bet it doesn't get absorbed by the paint. I always had great results applying the P21S with bare hands. Nice information in the video overall!

[@dessertman1181]

[@nickychavda]

Zymol is basic ?

[@autofanaticcars]

yes their basic stuff is just basic, their higher end stuff is good, Concours, Destiny etc but most can not afford that in the real world. the P21s really feels identical to the regular Zymol in many ways. the waxes i compared are all within $40 mark

[@brianeccleston7051]

I think butter wet wax is great for shine and gloss not for durability. It’s always been easy on and off for me.

[@2010stoof]

Yeah butter wet is more of a topper for me. I'll lay down a good sealant or strong wax then top with the butter wet wax. Great shine, but won't even last a month lol very quick to rewax during a wash after a month.

[@holybusiness9624]

How long does 915 last? Is it as durable as 845 and 476? Could you top 845 with 915? Thanks, Gabe

[@autofanaticcars]

I’ve been deciding between Collinite or fusso wax probably collinite .

[@autofanaticcars]

Use the Collinite the Fusso offers great long term protection but it has PTFE which is very bad for your health to work with products using that chemical. The 915 is also a much better user experience as well.

[@RandallMoore-mt8bt]

I'm 50 and I've been detailing since i was 16 and the butter wet wax does have carnauba in it and at the semas show 2022 the guys behind the making of butter wet wax guarantees what the label says is in it really is all the major detail guys like pan the organizer,brian from apex detailing and a good bit more would disagree with you

I've recently started to use more paste waxes with a foam hand applicator instead of liquid sealants with a DA. Something that I have come across is getting all of the wax out of the foam applicator. I was wondering what your process for cleaning foam wax applicators is. I have seen your video about cleaning foam polishing pads but I found that cleaning polish out of polishing pads is much easier than cleaning the wax out of the wax applicators.

[@autofanaticcars]

i buy the yellow foam wax pads in bulk and toss them when its time, sometimes if they are clean i place plastic containers go watch my video on that from 2 weeks ago.

[@KBog]

Great video! I was trying to find how you wax your GT350 especially around the stripes. Some people tape the edges with a paint tape. Is the Collinite safe to go on the stripes? What about the stripe edges, do I need to tape them? Thanks!

[@autofanaticcars]

perfectly safe to use 915 on the stripes

[@KBog]

Thanks for the quick reply! Do you apply paint tape on the strip edges?

[@autofanaticcars]

no need for tape just do not put too much on the edge and let it dry to long, use a Griots pFM towel working with the 915 as they work best, ck my other videos on these

[@joelpasserell4525]

How long does a product like Wax Daddy last in the bottle if you're only using it occasionally for cleaning and you don't let it freeze or get extremely warm while storing? 1yr, 3yr, 5yr?

[@autofanaticcars]

no wax can last 1-3 or 5 years in real world

[@chrishoward7396]

Is Wax Daddy the equivalent of meguiar’s color-x? Or is it different?

[@sweetness_5772]

I am a subscriber to your channel, and love your videos. But I don't get it. On this demonstration why in the world would apply these waxes right after the other in the same area. It would been more convincing if you would done it the same way as your clay bar demonstration. Separating them with masking tape. And show which wax is the best. Unfortunately, this demo, doesn't do me a whole lot of convincing. But, I'll keep watching you detailing videos. You and Pan The Organizer, are the best!

[@autofanaticcars]

the demo was done on my 250K custom Pro Touring Mustang I did not want to put tape on it with the fresh paint. the demo just shows how each one goes on and off and clearly the 915 is and always will be the winner in the paste wax category for me in all areas especially value. Lots of these waxes have other components as fillers and cheaper ingredients such as bees wax and other oils with less carnauba.the Griots wax is way to greasy and i still have the brand new can and never used it since this demo.

Apply very very thin, you should not be able to see any product on the paint just a thin transparent film will give the best results and protection. Applying it too thick will make it hard to remove and you will be wasting product as you are wiping it all off.

Throw that wax garbage away. That's prehistoric technology.

Ha stop buying into that hype.. Its all about money.. Yes they are good but u have to keep washing your car with special high price product s and they dnt actually protect much of anything.. Still scratch plus more.. I do detail for a living and dnt care much for it unless u have a show car or something that u dnt even drive

[@rogerbaron9514]

What a bogus statement. I've done plenty of vehicles using GTechniqs Crystal Serum Light. It's lasted 2 1/2 years and still going strong. The cars stay cleaner longer. Way easier and faster to wash and dry. Chemicals and salt doesn't take it off like wax that does't last a week in the winter. Any decent inexpensive car wash like form Chemical Guy works and a spray sealant once every other month is all it takes. Scratches will happen but due to the coating being thicker than wax will help minimize them some. You still need to use proper washing techniques. They aren't armor but are a million times more effective than wax.
