Entry level/must have swissvax?

Hello DB,
Just curious if anyone can suggest a SV product or two for an enthusiast detailer. I'd like to take advantage of the great sale at DD. The primary vehicle to be pampered by these products will be a 2008 Metallic Black Mazdaspeed 3, so if there is a wax that would make it shine like no other, lets hear it!

 

I would say Saphir. Looks great. Easy on, easy off. A great wax. I would love to buy another pot now but I've got another project I'm working on.

Also, Prep will do more for your looks than a wax will. Prep makes a world of difference. Thats another story.

 

grab some autobahn, i got some myself to test outs =p

 

I would personally recommend either Blau Weiss or Mirage, probably with a slight edge to Blau Weiss. Have both, and have used both.

 

i bought concorso for my first wax. and its fantastic not the cheapest. but worth every penny. im sure all the swissvax waxes are great. autobahn is great and there cleaner fluid is nice. i wouldnt bother with the shampoo not worth the money. smells nice thats about it .

 

Great thread, I too was wondering what wax to get from Swissvax. Seems like there's a lot to choose from.

 

I grabbed a concorso and its @ montreal now It should be awesome on my GLK

 

:agree: Preparation is everything when it comes to a nice finish. The wax is just the icing on the cake.

 

However, for me, the waxing is one of the most enjoyable. A good wax isn't only about looks. It's about easy of use to apply and remove, durability, beading, etc. etc.

 

I couldnt agree more. In fact, in the summer I like waxing more than in fall/winter. Any of my waxes, Concorso/Zuffenhausen/Glasur are more difficult to remove or breakdown in the winter when my garage is cooler and the bodywork of the car has a chill in it. Then I use a sealant. This year I want to try Power Lock. And, I know me better than anyone, there will be a coating of concorso right over it a week later.

I am trying to get myself another tub of Concorso. I am even trying to convince my wife that the new tub has a new "passion fruit" formulation in it that makes me last longer in the rack (from 2 minutes to 4 minutes) when I rub it on my hands! Lets see if she buys it...

so powerlock ontop of concorso will works?

 

Of course she'll buy it! But perhaps you should wait for Insignis?

 

I wouldn't reccomend that, chances are you would remove some if not all the SV Consorso. If you are looking for winter protection then I would suggest either SV Sheild which is a winter wax with 3 - 6 month protection or use a sealant such as PowerLock.

 

No no no, it was the other way around.

 

What do you think, 5 minutes?

 

That makes more sense, however SV products are best used over the SV Cleaner Fluids.

 

Guess I'll use some bilt hamber for winterz and save my concorso for spring or I buy shield lol

 

I would recomend a SV wax on top of a sealer like MG#21 or Powerlock... Looks great and will hold on for a long time Just make sure you let the sealer cure for it's full time before applying wax

 

Is Ketil making more of them?

 

Alright, I've settled on a pot of concorso. Do you think the cleaner fluid is a totally necessary accessory to this wax, or would any other paint cleansing lotion work just as well?
