I've been away for a little while on this forum and i don't want to over step boundaries or get flamed . . . . .

but can we sell product on this forum and if so in what section? I want to sell my brand new Migliore Primo Blend Wax.

You can trade products but I don't think AG wants you selling them.

Yup, there is a thread going on where you can trade with people but selling is off limits here. I think autopia has a FS forum.

ahh. thanks in advance guys. I wasn't aware of that, but as i was looking through the forums i thought since i didn't see a FS thread that maybe it was hiding or just not allowed.

I'll search for the trade thread.

No selling as offered ... but you are more than free to send it to your fav moderator for testing. Seriously, how did you like the product. I have eyed it from time to time but thought the pricing was a bit high.

You know a lot of people told me it was difficult to work with but the results speak for itself. I tend to put on very light coats so i didn't find it hard to work with it all.

Sucks that i can't sell it on here but maybe someone will PM me.

Considering a lot of guys buy Fuzion and Souveran, Supernatural. Even just 2 "so, so" waxes add up. Migliore is an excellent wax! The key to applying it is applying it thin. He has directions up on his site about applying. People just buy a wax and expect it to WOWO as that's what their use to.



Truck was dirty so I hosed it off was AMAZED that there was still some wax there. Last wax I used was some Migliore Primo about 5 months ago. Anyways...some pics

After a wash. Didn't even add any more wax or anything. Just soap and water.

Tis all. I'm VERY impressed it has lasted this long and not only that, but still has a look like I just waxed the truck.

Here's a post from a top detailer on it...


On to the Migliore Primo review. Here's what I think of the wax:

I tried this wax out on my car a about a week ago when it was still pretty cold outside. It took quite a long time to cure (I did a swipe test roughly every 5 minutes), but in the end, curing time was about 25 minutes +/-. The first time I removed it was relatively easy and just for testing purposes, I did half of my hood with Migliore Primo and the other half with Swissvax Concorso. It wasn't as easy to remove as the SW, but then again, not as greasy. After removing it, I swiped the MF across both halves of the hood and I could feel a huge difference between the 2 waxes. The SW had a nice, slick feel to it but the Migliore... well I could actually feel that there was wax on the car and I like that. After swiping my MF across the hood enjoying the feel of Migliore, I broke out the garden hose and started spraying to test the sheeting. I got hypnotized by the beads and wound up spraying my car for a good 5 minutes, enjoying that too :). Every time I sprayed it the Migliore side was almost completely dry, while the SW side left little patches of beads all over it. I sprayed it from several different angles just to be fair and the results were the same every time. Very nice sheeting action, very nice.

Now that the weather's finally warm here, I decided to give it another test run. Applying it this time was much easier than before and I'll attribute that to the temperature. This is a very solid wax; almost like rubbing an applicator on a soft candle... kind of like Colly 885, but this wax smells MUCH nicer :). It's got a very pleasant, natural orange scent to it... nice touch. It went easy, though not as easy as most. It's got more of a "silky" feel to it, rather than "greasy". After letting it cure for about 25-30 minutes (the manufacturer says remove after 10 min.), I did the swipe test, but it was still a bit tacky. I then started to remove it with a MF and in some places it was grabby, but in others came off quite easily, but not as easily as most boutique waxes. I stopped removing it after a few swipes because it really didn't feel like it was cured yet. I don't know if you've ever seen a 599 GTB in person or not, but it's a WIDE automoble. I'm 6' tall and when leaning over it at about a 45 degree angle, my fingers barely touch the middle. When I applied the wax to the hood, I literally swiped the applicator (and really, just a quick swipe across the wax) 3 times to wax the hood, and it seems that I applied WAY too much! Then, I grabbed the Maki, put on a finishing pad, misted the car lightly with water and began to spread the wax more evenly. 10 minutes later it was easier to remove, but again, not the easiest wax I've ever removed (I'll point the finger at the weather for the easier removal the first time). It was still a bit grabby, but that's not really a bad thing.

Despite being a bit difficult to remove (I will be giving this wax another go shortly), IMO this is an excellent wax. Again, it's a wax that you can literally feel on the paint; kind of like wearing a Breitling... you KNOW it's there. If I get the chance to spit-shine a car again, this will be my wax of choice because it's just got that spit-shine wax feel to it. I can't comment on durability, but by the way this wax feels on the car, I'm going to guess it'll outlast most of the nubas I have.

If you're one of those people that expects your wax to go on like butter and come off like nothing was there, this is not the wax for you. I figured I'd make that disclaimer because I've seen it happen too many times where people go out and buy waxes based on something they've heard, then they get the wax home, don't read the instructions, can't apply or remove it easily, then they hate the wax and talk crap about it. This wax will require a little more effort to apply and remove, but that little extra effort is well worth it. Also, it's one of those "polish after removal to bring out the shine" waxes. It leaves a bit of residue on the paint (well, at least on this dark chocolate color), so it should be buffed afterward. I know the shine and look of a wax all boils down to the polish, but this wax gave an awesome finish and I really believe it added a lot more wetness to the paint.

Migliore Primo is most certainly different than any wax I've used so far, and I've used a lot of them.

Also a pretty cool thing about Migliore...


The owner at Ferrari of Hungary enjoyed Migliore so much that they will be using Migliore Primo on all vehicles sold at their dealership. In addition, a jar of Primo will be included with each Ferrari/Maserati purchase.

Learn something new everyday. I seen that thread before . . . . I believe that is the thread that has the Ferrari that was hacked by the factory techs and had fish eye's and what not. I wasn't aware that Migliore had directions but i just now seen it.

You're making me re-think my sale on the wax though i would still like to try others. I guess we will have to see =)
