Best of Show Review

Wax- Best of show (smagrad)

Manufactures description(swissvax UK)- Enriched with pineapple and cinnamon oil extracts containing 51% by volume of ultra pure Brazilian non bleached and yellow carnauba wax. Best of Show wax gives your paintwork a lustre ordinarily encountered only on prize winning classics.Best of Show win at European Concous d'Elegance in Dusseldorf.200ml

tub size-Standard 200ml tub, which was black with the swissvax stickers including directions.

Application amount- Very small amount, did an Acura MDX with it and you could not tell I have even touched the wax. Very little was used.
Price per application- N/A as I don’t know what the wax costs, but I don’t see it being very high.

Colour- The was wax a pinkish brown colour, it was nothing weird or anything bright that stands out. I’m not sure what to compare it to.

Smell- WOW this is strong, I cannot place it but this is one fruity smell. It becomes to much. This is a big complaint for me. It was like waxing with a smelly thing stuffed up your nose. It was ok at the beginning but as the detail went on I started to hate the smell.

Texture- This wax was very hard, It has been a while since I have used a hard wax. I would compare it to say PS in terms of hardness. Maybe even a little harder.

Directions to Apply- this wax is supposed to be applied via bare hands, it says it needs the heat (as many waxes in this price range do). It says to let sit for 10 minutes and buff off.

How we did it- We did not follow directions. We used an applicator. I was tasked (thanks Carlos) the job of applying and removing this wax , my hands are pretty rough and beat up these days combined with what I think is the worlds softest clear coat we decided to use an applicator.
So I took a few swipes of the wax and had at it. It’s a pretty basic process.
A couple things I did notice are: the wax went a vey long way, it was not hard to spread thing, and two I found the wax to be “sticky” the applicator would get stuck or at least grab as I was waxing. Something I have not experienced with this given applicator.
I then let the wa stand for 10 minutes and started buffing. As usual this buff was very simple.

Buffing- I used a blue cookie monster from eshine. This wax was a pain to remove…… just kidding this wax was so easy to remove, almost as easy as shield. I was pleasantly surprised; I was ready for the fight of my life but was surprised at how easily it came off. No hassle, no struggling nothing. Just ease. It was nice for a change.

Look- It left the paint deep and soaking wet. I was shocked as I know Carlos was. This wax has an awesome look (pics to come when Carlos posts them) I was stunned at the look it left.
It was so good we got a holy $%(* when the owner walked in to pick it up. I cannot stress enough how much I liked this

Flaws- The smell, good lord. The availability of BOS in north America.

Final thoughts- What more can I say about this wax? It left an awesome awesome look, smelled horrible but was very easy to work with. I will def be picking one up for my personal collection.

Thanks for reading, any comments or questions

p.s Pics to come when Carlos uploads them

Sounds very promising, looking forward to the pics...

 

thanks mike..

 

Good review Mike! I love the smell, hehe. Smells just like concorso.

 

lol good review. i actually dont mind the smell. I dont really notice the smell unless i put my nose close to the jar. I work outside.

 

yes you should never put your nose to the jar:yikes:

 

oh did you all use Cleaner Fluid as well?

 

ah. I just have a bad sense of smell unless close to the product. But, I dont mind the passion fruit smell. I do think Z destiny and atlantique smell better. I was surprised that vintage didnt have the same smell, its rather neutral compared to the SV and Z products I have. But the smell of a product isnt really a concern for me.

 

Its my favorite smelling product!!

And to me Smargd is a soft wax?

 

Great review, thanks Mike!

 

Thanks for the review. Will add to my list for a future addition.

 

Thanks for the review!

I love the smell :shrug:

 

Mike has a sensitive little nose:

 

to be honest the wax was in the fridge prior to me getting my hands on it. Perhaps it was still cold

 

so do i, carlos where are you? forget banff you have pics to post

thanks

Thanks, and i guees its just not for me. It wont srop me frm using the product but its not my fav...oh well

I thin working outside helps. I was in a agarage with no air flow so it got trapped... but i did find it to be a very strong scent

Yes we usedd cleaner fluid first, this stuff is awsome.

thank you

I plan on adding it to my collection once the CC is paid off

thanks, and i dunno maybe im alone on this one :shead:

I do, but ig you had come yo would have know :applause2:.. sleeping what a crappy excuse :bla2::bla2: :
