    I haven't tried Victoria red yet but P21S 100% is decent.

    Chris, now you are tempting me again. Sounds like you'll be seeing an order from me on this one very soon.

    Not even 5 minute after the post, just ordered mine from their US retailer in california.
    I know it's IMHO from Chris, but since he sells zymol and other waxes, this to me has more weight.
    We'll see how it compare to Lusso, SN, Z-concours soon:gidiup:

    id appreciate some more feedback/opinions.:thumb:

    also. whats the best way to apply, site says with bare hands, but is a yellow foam app good?

    also do people prefer vic cleanse beforehand like cleaner fluid or lime prime?

    :nod: I too would have to agree Victoria (red one) is a wicked wax, sice I got it I've been saying that. Best part I got the very large container and I always apply it by hand and let me tell you I'm not worried about how much I use :cheerl:

    Any who for the price, it's hard to beat Victoria and best of all it's so under priced :nod:

    Vic's Red smells good too. For the price it is hard to beat.

    I am pretty happy with Collinite 845 liquid, it's typical Collinite a ton of bang for the buck.

    If I was going to buy something else, I would look at Dodo SN, Juiced or RB OE.

    Has anybody tried World's Best Wax (the pink one)? Their site looks really nice, and I'm interested in trying that wax. I'm also considering
    50/50
    VW red
    Pete's 53
    Wet Obsession
    Any opinions?

    pretty much the same list i have minus the wet obsession. Pete's and 50/50 are about the same price to oz wise. I wonder how vics red or petes would look over fk1000p. I like sharp reflections and shine + the durabilty of both=win ...now to just try:giterdone:

    Without a doubt the best wax of the ones you mentioned is the Rubbish Boys OE and I've used all the ones you mentioned except Victorias. Of all the waxes I've used the only one that beats OE is Vintage ... and according to my wife OE looks better.

    I would have to go with Wet Obsession, then again, I might be biased! :shrug:

    hmm, i was just thrown off by the application process/curing. And not being able to layer within 24 hrs, (only reason i wouldn't use a sealant). Maybe if the durability/beading and other qualities were good enough, i could consider it. Ive also never applied a paste wax, Im gonna get some practice with the fk1000. (not sure something a little difficult would be good for a first good paste wax.) Probably would go with juiced over oe for easier to apply, and more clarity. I like clear reflective paint, although i can't really say i know what "wet" looks like. In Dave KGs test, i couldn't really tell the difference between wax and sealant. Don't know why im even looking for a wax, when sealants last so much longer and look just fine.

    ok ive narrowed it down to Victoria concours, 50/50. Maybe rb oe further down the line. How is the lite cleanse? Comparable to lime prime light? I was looking for a pre-wax cleanser type that wasnt as expensive as lp/lpl. Probably gonna go with the vics in the 3oz as i hear its quite durable and great beading. I did a lot of reading and people claim 3+months of protection which is pretty good (similar to best of show at 1/5 the price).

    I agree about the Victoria waxes,they are outstanding products.I personaly prefer collector's(yellow) over concours,as i find it to be more durable and it seems to give more depth.

    The lite cleanse is a joy to use,and very effective.You will not go wrong with any of David's products.

    I have juiced and OE and take my word and go with OE. I also wouldn't say that Juiced is any easier to apply.

    really? Maybe i could get a sample of the oe from them. Which would you say has more durability? Beading looked very close as well.

    My vote is for rubbish boy's original edition. Today it was nice outside so I put on a coat of supernatural and I like the looks of OE better. It might be a bit more of a pain to apply it but well worth the effort.
