Review: Migliore Primo

[Dr Oldz]

Excellent review Doc!! :rockon. Thanks for an honest and credible review that covers all the bases.

Thanks Corey! May not be for everyone and I tried to be as honest as possible.

Nice review Doc...

Thanks Troy

Hey Jim,

Congratulations on being the winner!!

I've read a few comments that talk about Migliore Primo and all seem pretty positive. This wax seems to be a more traditional old world paste wax which requires allot more work to apply and remove. One of the first things I noticed was the shape and style of the can so if application with a dual action polisher was used scooping it out would be the only way.

I like the reflection shots and and it looks like a great product. Your cautionary comments regarding application and removal of the wax should be taken seriously. The traditional or old world waxes are allot of work and some may become discouraged early on. Instead of waxing the entire vehicle in one sitting, like you, I would recommend that some do a few panels one day and a few the next until it's finished.

Great writeup and outstanding results!!

Thanks Bobby! This is one of those traditional waxes that make all the work worth the effort. Good point on doing a few panels a day...especially for someone's garage queen. I appreciate you comment and thought as always buddy!

Great review Doc! Now there is another wax calling my name...lol

Are you saying I am a bad influence on your wallet? LOL

I remember it some time ago when it came in a glass container. It did look nice but indeed needed some work to remove it.

Sometimes the extra work is worth the effort and this is the case with this wax.

Good point but why would one spend $99 on a product that requires such effort? Especially, given the fact the "today's products", i.e. WOWO, WOWA, are effortless and provide amazing performance. I wish I had the insight to see why its "worth the effort".

There could be a few reasons--as stated, a unique look. Or a nostalgic feel for a time when products that required that effort were all there was. Or the perception that a $99 product that is hard to use MUST be better than the alternatives.

In the end it doesn't matter, different strokes for different folks. I remember another forum where people were talking about a wax that cost $1800/jar. Some people thought it was ridiculous, and then there were people who had used it who said it was worth the $1800 and you wouldn't understand unless you tried it. I think it's pretty safe to say that the people who thought it was ridiculous were never going to try it, and the people who had were never going to say it wasn't worth it.

Great review Doc!!

The glass container is still an option, if you have the right connections...

[Setec Astronomy]

That looks like something they should be selling at Williams-Sonoma...

thats the one indeed .... yes, it always reminded me of a candle jar. Prettier than plastic I suppose

[dtuna42]

That wax looks like a real PITA to use. I understand completely if you are thoroughly disgusted with all the incredibly hard labor that was required to apply and remove it. Since I'm sure you will never want to go through that hassle again, feel free to PM me, and I'll send you my address. I will get rid of it for you...

Bumping an old thread in light of Troy's thread here:

Product Review: Migliore Primo

Question- has anyone tried the bare hand application of this wax? and if so, please share your thoughts. I just acquired this product. thank you in advance!

[Dr Oldz]

The wax is way too hard to use the bare hand method. For bare hand application, a softer style wax is preferred.

Thanks Jim, for the reply, and I appreciate your insight. I'm determined to find the 'code' to unlock the 'usefulness' of Primo!
