UK order is here!

nice pick ups.

i hear good things about the BoS.

let us know how you like it.

 

souveran and swissvax are my 2 favorite carnuabas !!!!!..

 

Will do!

I have both I really like Souveran as well (for car meets and shows). I hope BoS last a little longer though.

 

Hehe came across this on autopia.

Autopia.org - View Single Post - Swissvax: Is the consensus around here HIT or....

 

My response:

What you link my thread and you didn't even comment in it! I am offended. lol oke:

For starters I don't believe this product is much "better" than everything else out there. So I am not one of those swissvax/zymol or nothing guys. I use 845 to maintain my parent's cars and Zaino with mine. I use my nuba's mainly as a topper for a little "extra" something for my personal cars. Even if it maybe a very slight. This is my rational not as an upsell or anything else for my customers.

I bought this wax becuase I was not content with my Souveran and it's 2-3 week life on the paint (beading). So in turn I bought BoS for its marginally better looks, beading and longer durability Does that justify it's price point? Probably not so yes DSMS is right I also bought it partially for the experience and the name. I will not lie I like nice things. I willingly spend hundreds on a pair of jeans, or shoes maybe even a grand for a designer jacket. Can everyone justify these things? Certainly not. Is it worth the money spent? Depends on who you ask. I am sure a person on the street will not be able to tell if I bought something from Rodeo drive (Boutique strip Beverly hills) versus just H&M (cheap designer like clothing) and therefore be a "waste". But if you ask someone into fashion the difference becomes much more drastic. They would be able to tell you why each cut/fit of the item is so, why the color schemes to go together, quality of the material and so on.

What I am trying to say is to the normal consumer can't really appreciate all of the differences between lets say a NXT paste versus a Zymol/Swissvax. Like you most likely would not be able to appreciate designer clothing vs normal clothing. The people who are into detailing like us will be able to tell you the nuba content maybe even the solvents/oils used in each wax. What characteristics we believe each wax does to the look of the paint how long it beads on the paint the size of the beads...etc I will go one step further than DSMS. You buy these things to set yourself apart; to distinguish you from the crowd and show people your individual detailing STYLE in the detailing world. Whether it be "normal" products or "high end" or even "rare" products it shows your mindset and what you like to do. All get the job done and in very similar fashions so it just a matter of style/preference in my book. This isn't just about waxes either it as about all the detailing products we buy. Most of us can polish paint to about 99% correction, it is what products/techniques (gloss it or zaino; zymol or swissvax; lake country or 3M Uk pads; menzerna or optimum polish...etc) aka style that get us to our final result is what sets us apart.

This is why I think we buy products. Everyone likes to have there own ways and variations of doing things and we are all a little bit different. If everyone was in consensus about which products were best we would all have the same thing. That would be pretty boring in my book. I love the fact well all have differing opinions that's what makes hobbies/sub cultures so fun! :thumb:

 

I couldn't agree more Brian. As somewhat of a tangent, since I'm looking in their general direction...I love it when my friends come over and ask me, "What are those jars in the liquor cabinet above the bottles of liquor?" I grin and chuckle then tell them it's my carnauba wax collection: SS II, Souveran, Purple Haze, RBOE, and SV Smaragd.

If you're happy, that's all that matters! :thumb: eace:
