Well, I was doing a search between Best of Show and concorso and started seeing post about the history between the two companys. These are quotes from wise_85 on autopia aka waxy on detailing world.
found this too Zymol has a history of engaging in litigation over intellectual property issues. In 2004, Zymol brought a trademark infringement, unfair competition, copyright and trade secret lawsuit against Anwander & Co. AG, then a manufacturer of Swissol detailing products in Switzerland. Zymol contended, among other things, that the name Swissol, and labels, product colors and scents used by Swissol, was confusingly similar to and infringed on Zymol’s copyrights and trademarks. A settlement was reached in which Anwander & Co. AG changed its trade name Swissol to Swissvax.
I read/dug quite a bit on Zymol vs Swissvax as well LanceM but at the end I decided that I would try them both and see which one would be better...so that's why I went a head with my Divine...can't wait to get it and start using it.
i agree. I was just fascinated with the history between the the companies. I believe that both make excellent products.
Oh I agree with you, the history is very, very interesting...well at least I found it interesting and these two are some of the dominating products/company's in the market.
wow somehow i missed tjis...thanks for posting. I find high end waxes very interesting, the history included
That was very interesting reading...but now I have a question...I read that Concourso was latter reformulated and called Best of Show...now is the Concourso sold now the older formula and best of show the newer version..seems like the newer one would be better...since all Ivory Caranuba and no yellow like the previous version...

Well they look like different waxes to me....from the decription on Swissvax page.... Smaragd Best of Show wax 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 Concorso Containing 50% by volume of pure Brazilian non bleached and yellow carnauba wax, Concorso wax gives the best of show shine to the older classic car. The Smaragd BOS looks like a better wax...as far as description goes...one looks like its used for older paints and the other used for newer paints to give the look of classic older paint... AL
:thumb: The older nitro cellulose paints required oil rich polishes to renew (feed) the pains oil-based binder system (now you know why it 'beads' so well on a standard CC)
