    I had the chance to apply Swissvax concorso to two japanese cars last week, amazingly this LSP managed to WOW me. I was rather a skeptic on how expensive LSP can bring a difference without proper preparation, and i am lucky enough to try and own several LSP to satisfy my curiosity. Now, i think i begin to understand what the Swissvax hype is all about.

    First set is on Toyota's paint. This black metallic has been repainted and i might say rather poorly. I was kinda giving up on this car since the metallic is too strong so it's kinda hard to tone it down, and not to mention the strong orange peel look on the paint surface due to the repaint job. My goal is to bring the paint into deep, warm and wet look, the one that only a solid black paint can deliver. Usually this kind of look can be achieved after several layering of CG5050 or Pinnacle Souveran or Blackfire combo (Midnight Sun over WDAPP), and only on certain lighting condition (not on a bright daylight). But i think i've meet my match with Swissvax Concorso, these pic was taken around 3-4 pm with extremely strong sunlight after first application of Concorso and cured for 24h. Car was prepped by one of my fellow detailers about 3 months ago and gone through regular care ever since.

    Perfect deep, warm and wetlook as i was aiming for:

    Another set is on Suzuki's paint dark blue metallic. This one was freshly prepped last week by another one of my Indonesian detailer. Just on a sidenote: yeah i'm lazy enough to prep my own cars... a newborn baby does not exactly mean i have spare time for my hobbies LOL *excuses*... but anyway:

    Too bad these pics do not even come close to what i saw with my own eyes, but to cut things short I am extremely satisfied with SV Concorso.

    Credit goes to my fellow detailers: 3Steps and Digo Auto Detailing from Indonesia for properly prepping these cars for a showcar finish.

    Thanks for reading, hope you enjoy it...

    Next to headlamp? Yup...comes with the car from the dealer, my 60 years old mom drives this one so actually it's very helpful to her when doing parallel parking

    i still gotta try my concorso lol
    but yeah that mirror is to check the distance between your wheels and the curb. Its found in a lot of asia bound SUVs actually.
    I have noticed that pictures cant really capture the glory of some SV waxes lol
