Default Swissvax

Tried their product this past week, and all I can say is "Wow" I've always used great products on my cars, Pinnacle, Wolfgang, Black Ice. I'm about as **** retentive as you can be about car care, but this stuff blows me away!

I always used a buffer to remove the swirl marks and fine scratches inherent to a black car. With this stuff, it's not needed. The cleaner removes the swirl marks and the fine catches.

Sadly it's raining here, (4 days and counting) but I'll post some pics when the sun comes out. Here's an after while still in the garage.

I'm 100% with you. Swissvax totally changed the finish on my car, to an extent i would not have thought possible. I'm pretty hesitant to spend $ 200 on a tin of wax, but I dare say the Swissvax is worth it.

I used the one made for 'Porsche'. Note you have to get the $ 60 bottle of prep to go with it.

I used Swissvax «Zuffenhausen» and the cleaner. Application was with a new sponge pad for the cleaner. The wax is applied using your fingers and the palm of your hand. It's the easy part. Yes, a little dawn and water and it comes right off.

Clean up for both was with borderless micro-fibre towels.

Still waiting for the sun.

The $200 hurts, but it looks like I'll get 10 wax jobs out of one jar. Not bad for $20 a wax job.

They are great products but I don't think the cleaner removes the swirl marks and the fine catches. It only hides them a lot better than other wax/cleaner. IMHO, the only way to remove swirl marks is to polish the paint.

Don't know if it hides them or removes them, but the important part is you can't see them.

This is my 21st black car and I can tell you from experience it shines more than any of them!
