    Yeah, my only concern, muting the flakes.

    Let me know if you notice muting of the flakes.

    915 is a great wax, as are the rest of the Collinites. As far as usage, it is very similar to 476. The 476 is a little more durable, but only slightly. The little bit that it gives up in durability (not much) is more than made up for in the looks department. A couple of the main guys on Topia that have used almost everything, love 915. It also did very well in Dave KG's wax test versus some very expensive competition. I have only used it on a couple of metallic cars, but I haven't noticed any muting of flakes. Hope this helps.

    I used 915 on this ZR1.

    I have 476 and 845. After having used both for while, I definitely like the 845 better. It's much easier to apply, and must easier to remove. I also find that it lasts longer, at least on my vehicles.

    For me, I used both 885 (476s) and 845 on 3 cars on on different areas on the car.

    I definitely prefer 476s for its durability. (5 months from Oct to Mar, based on beading)

    845 did not last that long (3-4) but it was so much easier to use and seemed to look a bit better but maybe its due to the lighting.

    Both are great to use.

    I'm sure it's been said, but 845 has crazy flake-pop. I put a fresh coat on my 325i last night and it literally hurts to look at it in the sun. Up close you can see so many freakin' colors.

    Hi
    I have tried 915 and I am really impressed. It is one of the best waxes I have used and I think it is one of the best waxes available in the market.

    Yeah, on lighter metallics it gives the flakes a "glittery" look, and in the shade the paint looks about an inch thick. I'm not quite as fond of it on darker metallics, however.

    I have 885 which is the same as 476s so essentially 885 is just a bigger tin.

    I found 885/476s to look better on lighter colors and 845 better on darker colors.

    845 seems to darken the color for me.

    Both look great and bring out the flakes at least from my point of view.

    I would love to get 915 if I can find it.

    Hope this helps.
