what is in the swissvax drcollie that brings that kind of effect? looks more like ceramic than carnauba
Want to go all-in? Get this one. My Mom won't let me spend this much money though.....76% !

The downside of Swissvax is it lasts 3 to 8 weeks, so you have to be willing to spend the time on it. Some don't......I get it.

It goes a very long ways and apply with your bare hand as the heat from your palm will flow the very hard wax, it goes on thinly. Don’t use an applicator. You will also need to use their pre-cleaner, which is actually a mild polish. Here’s my 992 in the garage after an application.

But wax or coat immediately. Paint is well baked at the factory

can't say I had a wax that was so good, I spread it on by hand. The Midnight sun is so easy to apply and buff off it's like a bare hand, I think waxing any 911 is pure joy and even if you use Nu-Finish.

I’ve started using Meguires Hybred Ceramic liquid wax and love the results! You apply it like regular wax and it gives much longer protection than traditional waxes with a great deep shine.

Just a quick question if anyone knows..
I just washed my 928 last weekend and used Griot's spray wax. It came out nice, but now I want to use regular paste wax (Turtle Wax).
Is it ok to put paste wax on after using spray wax?

Synthetic waxes can be layered depending on its formulation, natural/carnuba waxes can't be layered most of the time. If you're looking to get additional protection from layering it and they aren't compatible/capable you'll just be wasting product.

Just finished "simonizing" (old school)/waxiing my F-150 and Volvo C30. I also enjoy that process. They look marvelous.
Got my 992 PPF'd and ceramic coated so just a rinse and dry for it.

I’m coming up on about three years with a ceramic coat on my Jet Black Metallic Cab S and starting to show signs of wear.
I miss not having that relationship you have when you wax a car. I am looking at a couple of high end waxes to use.
Call me crazy but I seriously thinking of ditching the ceramic for a high end wax.
Any comments will be most appreciated.

I’ve switched to polish angel and their products are pricey but amazing and easy to use. They have both carnuaba based products and si02. The high gloss spray also has titanium in it, the shine is incredible.
