COLLINITE 476 Super Doublecoat Wax — Carnauba + Polymer Paste, 9 fl oz, High-Gloss Hydrophobic Protection

Collinite 476 Super Doublecoat Wax is a concentrated carnauba-plus-polymer paste that delivers a warm, mirror-like gloss and long-lasting hydrophobic protection for cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

Built on an 80+-year heritage, this paste wax blends premium #1 grade carnauba with durable polymers to create a protective layer that boosts shine, beads water, and resists UV and surface heat. It’s formulated to be forgiving in real-world detailing: you won’t need a perfectly pristine, multi-step prep to get professional-looking results. In a compact 9 fl oz tin, Collinite 476 offers a high-gloss finish and extended weather resistance often associated with more expensive coatings.

How long will Collinite 476 protection last on my vehicle?

Under normal driving and storage conditions, Collinite 476 provides prolonged protection measured in months rather than weeks. The polymer content enhances the longevity of traditional carnauba, resisting water and light contamination.

• Typical durability: 7–10 months with regular maintenance
• Better longevity on garaged or lightly used vehicles
• Top-ups or reapplications extend the protective window

What kind of finish does this wax produce on paint and trim?

The blend emphasizes a warm, deep gloss that enhances color depth and reflective clarity. It’s designed to emphasize the natural look of paint rather than create an artificial plastic sheen.

• Rich, warm highlights from #1 grade carnauba
• Polymers add reflective depth and smoother surface feel
• Works on painted surfaces, clear coats, and chromed trim

How easy is it to apply and remove for a DIY detailer?

Application is straightforward: apply a thin, even film by hand or pad, allow a short flash time, then buff to a shine. The formula is forgiving — it bonds well without requiring perfectly surgical paint decontamination steps.

• Suitable for hand or dual-action polisher application
• Short cure time makes buffing quick and efficient
• No need for extensive multi-step prep to see strong results

How does Collinite 476 compare to modern ceramic coatings?

While not a permanent ceramic coating, Collinite 476 mimics several desirable traits: strong hydrophobic behavior, UV resistance, and extended durability. It provides these benefits without the time, cost, or permanence of professional ceramic installation.

• Offers polymer-enhanced hydrophobic beading similar to coatings
• Removable and renewable—reapply as needed for upkeep
• Lower cost and simpler application than professional ceramic systems

Who this product is for: Collinite 476 Super Doublecoat Wax is ideal for owners who want a high-quality, easy-to-use wax that delivers a warm, deep shine and months of water-beading protection without the expense or commitment of ceramic coatings. It’s a practical choice for enthusiasts, DIY detailers, weekend restorers, and anyone seeking a durable, attractive finish for cars, trucks, and motorcycles.
