    I'd have to agree. Super easy on/off, looks amazing on any color, 3-4 months durability, and affordable.

    I really have no desire to spend more than $50 on wax/sealant. Never really bought into the hype myself...

    Swissvax Shield is a great wax but for me I still love my Prima Epic and Banana Gloss :thumb:

    Don't understand how people can hate on swissvax when they never even tried it. Yes it's expensive and I would personally never buy crystal rock or Devine. However they are amazing waxes. Collinite or autoglym are very good waxes for the price but don't have the overall look and nourishment the sv offers. I do agree that prep is most of what you see however in my experience sv shine last longer then any wax through countless washes. If u can afford it and have a nice car to apply it to. It's worth the money. I'm sure Phil and others would agree.

    Businesses have to stay profitable to stay open, so obviously they have some sort of following somewhere that believes their product is worth the high prices. I would have a hard time justifying the expense myself, but if I could afford it, it would be something I'd give a fair chance too.

    Well, FWIW, I just bought some Collinite 845 from Phil and I can say it (so far) is ROCK solid, great shine and relatively easy on/off. Also, costing $15, and seeming to possibly last up to 10 cars...it is a GREAT value!

    There are a lot of good waxes that are priced well. Collinite, Duragloss, Bilt Hamber Finis and Naviwax Ultimate come to mind

    megs ultimate wax, paste or liquid looks amazing in person, easy on, easy off and is very inexpensive.......and why are we kidding ourselves? I for one do not let a product "run its course". I maintain it, top it off, and I can extend the life and look of any LSP product.... so longevity for me is sort of a moot issue, longest I have let a wax run its course is maybe 6 weeks before doing something to it. Currently my Sierra has BFWD and one coat of BFMS applied thanksgiving day, the only thing I have done to it is use Prima Hydro one time, other then that it is starting to peter out, so time to re apply.

    If you think that you can only get 10 cars from a 16 oz bottle, I would guess that you're using far too much...

    I was thinking the same thing. So far I've used it on my 2 daily drivers, 2 coats on each, you can't even tell that I've used it when looking at the bottle.
