Collinite is an American car care brand that has been around for over seventy years and their automotive paste waxes are proven winners.

Their 476S Super Double Coat paste wax has a definite beeswax furniture polish smell to it like the parquet floor in my old junior school, but, by crikey, it leaves a superb level of shine that resists subsequent washing for several months and is a longstanding, reliable winner.

A 9oz tin costs £26.90 and is available from www.shipshapenorfiolkltd.co.uk ENDS.
