    I am currently using Microtex Nanoglos and Nanosliq and it's hard for me to bring out the shine in my car. I am not into hardcore detailing and I really don't want to invest too much on detailing stuff. I have the Microtex applicator pad, 1 ultra plush, 1 plush and 2 ultra cloths.

    I am deciding between Collonite 845 and Collonite 476 as it has good reviews on Amazon. However I have no idea on how difficult or easy it is to apply any of these wax. I need something that would bring out the shine in my car in a quick and easy manner (less paraphernalia and procedures). TIA.
    before you can bring out the shine, you should have your paint surface cleaned and prepared. washing alone cannot get rid of the contaminants in the paint surface so you need to clay it, then to remove swirl marks and scratches, you need to polish it. but since you like to do it in an easy manner (less paraphernalia and procedures as you said) then maybe you end up just washing it

    to give you an idea of the waxes you mentioned,

    Collinite Car Wax Products, Collinite Wax, Insulator Wax, collinite 845, collinite double coat

    collinite 845 or liquid insulator wax is easier to apply by hand or by machine. it is a wax on wax off type of wax so you can buff it off as soon as you apply it. on a properly prep paint surface, it shines!

    collinite 476 is a paste wax and quite hard to remove. the technique is to apply it as "thin" as possible and buff panel by panel. the advantage of 476 is its durability, it can stand many washes and last longer.

    why not try collinite 915 instead? it's also a paste wax, less durable than 476 but its easier to apply and remove/buff. I use it on my silver Vios and i'm happy with the shine. I highly recommend it

    enjoy your detailing session ma'am c4u...
