Nope... I don't use many OTC waxes... actually none, they just don't have the durability. I do use Duragloss 105 which is extremely durable... not especially slick though if you want OTC. Napa and a few other places sell it. It's thin and easy to apply and remove... let it sit for about 30 minutes and then just wipe it off... it gives off a GREAT shine.

I have used Collinite 476S for years with GREAT results. This stuff I got free after rebate and am thinking of trying it.

well then give it a try... why not right? You won't get the durability of the 476 but you might really like the look while it lasts and if not.. let it wear off or use some dish soap and strip it off... it's always fun to try new products.

Turns out this stuff is pretty good! I've done 2/3 of the Z and 1/4 of our Outback so far. Easy on, easy off (even on the Clear Bra). Great shine!!

Smells good too - carnauba.

Now, if it only lasts for a while.

You may read reviews of people that say this is hard to remove - hogwash. If they follow directions, it's like a quick detailer.

unless it has some kind of polymer in it, it may not last very long. Carnuaba wax is very solid stuff and the more crap a company puts in it to soften it, the worse it gets when it comes to durability. Either way, glad it's working out well for you so far.
