Can some one explain difference between collinite 845 and collinite 476 waxes????

Which one is better for New white grande????

For once in a month wash .....is formula 1 wax or cosmos wax (slightly cheap) enough as I have heard that collinite wax last for at least 8 weeks.

I purchased turtle super hard wax and applied once on my white grande but I am not very much satisfied.

Help requested

i just got coll 845 for new sup white1.6. still has to use it.

845 - liquid can last up to 6 months with maintenance washes
476 - paste wax can last up to 8 and in some reported cases, 12
Both serve the same purpose. Deep gloss shine. Achi hai but you may like some other more but we Pakistanis are in love with it. I recently tried dodo juice and meguiars paste wax and was pretty impressed by both.

In pakistan we don't wait till 6 or 12 months to wash and wax our cars...due to heavy dusty condition generally we get wash and wax once in a month. In my opinion if lasting time is the only criteria, then comparatively cheap waxes like cosmos or formula 1 is better choice.....

Buy Soft99 King of Gloss for White colour.
Im using one on my white Altis.
Its very easy to apply and buff off. Its been more than 2 months I applied the wax and the water beading is still great.

Costs 1200-1300 rupees. Cheack out ahmed yar's auto spa link.

You are right, in our conditions we need to wash atleast in two weeks. But good waxes if applied correctly will still be present on paint with shine and gloss if washed with a good ph balanced car shampoo. One will not need to wax again with every wash.

Bro man, I'll reiterate what I wrote above

6 months with maintenance washes Matlab regular dhulai shampoo wali

There is an occasional weird sound (like gurrrr) from the engine when i start it, specially at morning from my grande cvt. it is 1500 km driven. What can be the possible reason?
Regards!!

haseeb.basharat 2018-11-14 00:12:08 +0500 #303

Noise of dual vvti.
Reason: Bad Engine oil, for example toyota taglon.
Solution: Reduced on liqui moly 5w40 synthoil hightech, and vanished on Mobil 1 5w50.
Car is at 70k kms atm.

mjunaidit (Junaid Ali) 2018-11-14 19:42:47 +0500 #304

Yes, Ive noticed a deeper sound from the engine when the engine is at cold start. It gets better as thing heat up. My thoughts were same. Not sure what grade mobile oil is in the car but at 5k I'll change it to something for the cold weather. Still at 3k though
