    so i love the idea of the MF in their own bags. the reasoning

    is it to keep them separate so you can do long term "evaluation" of them? So you know if you ever want to buy that type of towel again?
    or is it cause of your living / travel to the parents house can get them dirty / contaminated and you want to keep them clean?

    I have an excel Spread sheet that i keep all my stuff documented in so i can do similar. but eventually i fear they will start looking the same. and i'll loose track.

    Main reason I keep them is bags is so they do not get contaminated during travel or just siting around. It is also just easier to pack a drawer full when in bags, just push the air out and put the bag in the drawer and it is smaller than its normal size.

    I had a inventory sheet for all my stuff but have not updated it recently as I was getting stuff almost everyday and just forgot to. Now I do not remember what I had and what I got. haha

    Meg's Final Inspection is nice. I can buy that locally thank goodness. I dont use it a lot, but I like to get it once in a while.

    I am not looking at using it as a QD but more for polish removal and inspect paint. I know Menz TI is made for that but with its price I rather just use it for a final wipe down and use Final Inspection as a use as I polish fluid. Does not leave anything behind so I thought it was work best for that.

    Not sure. Just interested in their waxes. Thinking about adding something to my collection to be my top end wax but obviously would be at their low end of waxes, ha. Any recommendations?

    I would say if you can get Concorso, but if not then second best from what I have read is Saphir as it has the looks of Concroso but the durability is not as good as Concroso.

    What is the expected durability from Concorso? Would be on a garage parked daily driver. Wow, can't believe I'm thinking about wax in this price range... Tell me it is worth it ;-)

    Durability you can get around 8-10 weeks depending on conditions it goes through and what not. Is it worth it, well I think it is...that is what I was going to get if Insignis offer didnt come up. If you can afford it, then go for it...if you really dont like it someone on here will buy it from ya.

    I have Saphir (and Insignis) and Saphir is really a lovely wax, and the beading is very nice. Durability is also very good. I'm at six weeks and it's still going really strong.

    congrats agpatel, nice collection of SV Insignis ... If i didnt purchase SV master kit & smargd (similar to concorso), I will definitely join order for Insignis ... how do you compared Insignis to concorso? However, Insignis far more expensive than concorso lol...

    I have not really used Concoros and only used Insignis on a mirror cover so can not give a true comparison. But what I have seen of both, both do look great but Insignis may have it beat in wetness and it is made for beading and sheeting. If you can get Insignis go for it, if not then Concorso is a great wax as well and nice to have in a collection.
