Head to head test on some waxes

[wedgie]

The rough basis to this test is to put 4 wax's in the 80GBP to 100GBP bracket head to head to test the durability of them..

The products of choice were:

Zymol Glasur,
Swissvax Glacier,
DODO (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/autolink.php?id=18&forumid=13&script=showthread) juice Supernatural
and Valentines Concours.


I had planned to do a full correction to get the test panel as good as i could before hand,but i was pushed for time so it was only a HD cleanse wipe down before hand ( i wonder if this could effect the test?)


So the contenders are ready to go :

The products were applied using a zymol applicator except for SN (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/autolink.php?id=13&forumid=13&script=showthread) which was applied via a finger applicator, all of which were given a quick spray of QD before the wax applied.All four products went on really nicely and came off very easily after the correct time to cure (valentines and zymol were on/off and SN (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/autolink.php?id=13&forumid=13&script=showthread) and Swissvax were given 20 mins). 3 of the wax's seemed very similar with SN (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/autolink.php?id=13&forumid=13&script=showthread) feeling slightly gritty to the touch..


To compare the before and after below is a quick video showing the state of the sheeting before the products were applied

Looks wise all 4 look even but that could be down to the lack of proper prep,and this could also effect the durability but only time will tell..

Any comments welcomed

Your personal take on these LSPs please? Kinda hard to tell based on pictures, but they all look great!

You can get it from various places over here in the UK but i dont know about in the states you could always try Carnauba wax for the finest cars# - Valentine's# Concours and Road 'n Track waxes (http://www.valentineswax.com/)
