    Didn't have any sadly. I haven't bought any new supplies in over 6 months so I ran out of a couple things :shakehead:

    I have the new duo too and frankly, they are truly outstanding.

    They look a bit different than the well known Vics, because the wetness factor was enhanced. The other Vics look more honest as they don't alter the true look/shade of the finish.

    The new duo is seriously good looking, keeps its appearance for a long time and yes, they are surprisingly durable. I left my car "undisturbed" for a month, and after these dirty four weeks, the new twins were very easy to clean too (almost completely touchless without using soap). Beading, gloss, depth was excellent. At the 2 month mark, some of the front panels' edges started to lose the proper beading, and now in the 3rd month the front fenders behind the wheelwells are gone. However, the beading on the other panels is still present, and the appearance is still very pleasing.

    The waxes are unscented, they have no coloring (color itself is tan). The smell is a pleasant mix of carnauba and paraffin wax (crayons). Their texture is soft and finely gritty.

    Application is interesting because I tried them with MF app, but I switched back to bare hand application as I felt (for the first time) that I'm using LESS wax by hand than with the applicator. Of course, this is not a scientific observation just an impression.

    I don't know what kind of man made ingredient is in them, but after removal, the feel of the surface is very unique: under the towel it's very slick like a synthetic, but the same time when you touch them with your hands, they feel smoothly heavy - typical carnauba.

    Based on my initial testing, they represent everything I'm looking for in a wax. They provide wonderful appearance, and they have the characteristic old-school Victoria Wax feel - as you have to be careful not to leave them on the surface for too long.

    Initially they look very close, but Chaos is a tad sharper, and both accentuate the flakes nicely.

    Eyezack, your Camry has spots of major flake explosion!

    That waxing feeling struck me as odd too. It was a unique way of feeling where the wax was other than feeling how slick it is. I enjoyed it though :)

    Glad to hear that I'm not the only one on the slight sharpness effect of of Chaos too.

    Thanks for the compliment Bence! :D
