i was given this stuff by a distributor who specializes in very strange things for english/german/foreign cars. apparently he became a WD for them, but never pushed it and the brand has no penetration state side so it floundered.

i couldn't find much at all about the wax on the web, even on their own Swedish website.

the wax is VERY soft and honestly...is pretty strong-smelling. BTW i hate these sorts of old school cans - i don't like the risk of getting little paint bits in the paint. the wheel cleaner smells to be slightly acid, but from what i've found after translating some stuff on the web, is safe for all wheels.

i'll try it - i have a feeling it will be a very wet look that attracts dust - it's just too loose/greasy to not be that sort of wax. but i won't know for sure until i try it.

Funny, the product description is written in English and the directions are foreign.

Hmmmm, can't say I've ever heard of it but then again I might not be old enough...:laughing:

I am curious to hear your report...

haha I used to see this stuff in some car places back in Sweden. Hagmans is a company that also makes paints for houses. (I have used that paint much painting our home every couple of years.)

The wax you have there, however, is part of a kit if i remember. It comes with some cloths and a cleaner. I remember seeing it and thinking it was quite expensive for a wax that comes in old style tins like that.

I never used it, I always bought my products from a online retailer in Sweden.

yeah i found a kit on their swedish site just like what you mentioned, but didn't find it separately. maybe this was a loose one from one of those kits and the guy didn't have a need for it. he had boxes and boxes of hagmans in his warehouse though. this guy has tens of thousands of square feet of super hard to get import auto parts. puck-style brake pads from 50s racing jaguars, custom alpine sunbeam pistons in israel, koni dampers for old ferraris and lamborghinis, etc., etc.

i'll get around to using this sometime this month and let you know what i find. it is ashame that pollen season is approaching because i have my suspicions about this stuff and dust/pollen/etc, but we'll see!
