Yea there are seriously so many options and everyone says they are better than the other. Enough to make one go crazy.

I love my GG ROP but I haven't tried any of their products. I've heard their Best of Show Wax can be a real bear to apply.

I use Meguiar's Ultimate on our white Camry. Works well enough for me. Probably going to order some CG Blacklight and Hybrid V7 eventually though.

I will have to give Collinite 915 a try when I run out of my other waxes.

I recently have been using Chemical guy's Butter Wet Wax and Meguiars (something something) carnuba wax. Amazing shine and good durability! (as shown in my profile pic from last summer)

For the spring, I have some chemical guys black light that i'm going to try out too.

I just picked up some Griot's Garage sealant and best of show. Will post results once I wash the car.

Lol did you just say collinite 915 and don't last very long in the same sentence? Why not actually do a side by side with your favorite sealant vs 915, come back 6 months later and let everyone know which one won.... Personally I don't dog stuff unless I've actually used the product and placing 915 in the same class as a typical carnauba lets me know you've obviously never used the product for yourself. When you try it please post up your thoughts. :)

With this sort of reaction i am ordering this stuff. I've been using 845 for years and have never had a complaint. I usually reapply every 3 months or so! Do you have any comparison between the 845 and the 915?

Just answered my own question. Looks like i will be sticking with the 845 as i live in good weather and the car spends most of its time in the garage. The ease of application and removal is what i like!

915 isn't bad, you just have to apply it thin. But still not quite as effortless as 845. This is why I usually use opti seal, it's crazy easy and the new formula really stepped up the durability about another 2 months.

I have found that the 5 dollar turtle wax works really good. It works better than the other two expensive bottles of wax I tried. I also use turtle wax ice spray wax on the windows and plastic and it works awesome.

russv 03-27-2013 07:48 PM

Ordered 915 because I'm only moderately OCD

TurleWax is good and cheap.
