    to buy new wax, what should I choose? Standing between them, will have gloss, wet look, depth and durability.

    1: Swissvax Concorso
    2: Swissvax Mirage
    3: Raceglaze 55
    4: Zymöl Concorso
    5: Zymöl Glazur
    6: Victoria Wax Concours Wax

    Forget SV, unless you value getting raped. They just put a HUGE hike on their prices, for no reason.


    Just get Rubbish Boy's Original Edition and be done with it. Awesome stuff.

    RG55, Glazur or Vics is my opinion.

    Have not used any of the three but have done research into those 3 as that is what I have been thinking of. RG55 and Vics seems to be similar (hmm maybe something behind that who knows ;) ) but RG55 does have nice durability, depth, wetness.

    I still need to use my vic's red. I tried it out on a section, but didn't really like the removal.

    I've really wanted to try SV concorso. But I never got around to buying it when the prices were still relatively reasonable.

    Well if you dont like it I can take it off your hands ;)

    Where are you located? You can get a 1oz sample pot of RG55 from RG for 5 quid, so cheap way of trying it out, Ken (autoworks exclusive) also has RG55 sample pots.

    I would go pay a visit to Ketil (Scandic Shine) I dont know how far you would be from him. But he has most of those wax's I think and could give you a good opinion on them for your weather in Norway.

    By far and away, Raceglaze 55 is the best wax I have used in the range that you have listed (I have Zymol Concours, a sample of Glasur, tried a sample of Concorso from a friend). It has great durability (4-6 months on a DD), is a pleasure to use, and looks great on any color. Another wax I would suggest to think about is Chemical Guys E-Zyme because it is better than any Zymol wax I have used but is very comparable to RG55.
