Yep, I use Collinite 476s on my LE. There is a picture of it here: http://s14.zetaboards.com/mercedes_190_club/topic/6571061/1/ There isn't much difference in finish between 476s and 915 Marque D'Elegance. Some on DetailingWorld claim that 915 produces a nicer finish on darker colours (has slightly more carnauba content than 476s) and that in terms of durability 476s has a slight advantage over 915. IMO I can't tell the difference between the two in terms of finish - though 476s is quite a bit cheaper than 915. Whatever you choose you'll have a great wax to work with, I think 476s will suit you just fine. I pulled this off Collinite's FAQ: 4) What is the difference between the 476s and the 915 Marque D’Elegance? In terms of durability, the 476s lasts an average of one month longer than the 915. The 915 has more carnauba wax in the formula, and its finishing result is a warmer shine, and it is slightly easier to work with. The 476s is the most durable product offered by Collinite, which is why it requires a little more rubbing and elbow grease. 6) How long does your wax last? Liquid/Gel Wax (845 and 925): 5-7 months depending on UV exposure. Paste Wax (476, 885): 9-11 Months depending on UV exposure. Marque D’Elegance (915): 8-10 months depending on UV exposure Keeping your car in the sun all the time will slightly reduce these figures, and so will washing your car constantly with highly potent grease-cutting soaps. The wax is meant to protect your paint from the elements, so anything more than a non-abrasive soap is not necessary. Many times, hosing off your vehicle and drying it off with a towel will keep it looking great while preserving the coat of wax you applied. |
