    Victoria concours quick review

    Hi guys. Kinda new to this forum but have been buying stuff locally from autogeek for awhile now. Anyway I am not in the detailing business full time anymore but do 1 or 2 cars a month for friends in the car club I am part of here in Port Saint Luice.

    Anyway, back in Dec I sold my beloved 00 SS Camaro as my wife and I are having our 2nd child and I needed a newer daily compared to the crap box I was driving. So out with the camaro and in with a 06 Torrid red GTO. Fun little car and has a bunch of nice add ons. After buying it and doing what every detailer does I gave it a really good compounding/polishing and waxing plus a full interior detail. I had been searching around for another wax to try and came across the Victoria Concours Red Wax. It took some time to get here from Canada but it was worth the wait.

    My GTO stays pretty well kept but in all fairness to trying the wax I went ahead and gave it a quick polish with a while LC pad and TurboWax finishing polish. First thing I liked about the product was the packaging. The container has a nice screw on lid and has the directions clearly printed on the front. So following the directions I applied the product thin and removed it before it totally dried. I did 2 coats. First coat was in the evening and then the 2nd was first thing the next morning. It left the car nice and slick and did add a little more gloss over some of the other paste waxes I have tried. Again this is just my opinion. Still waiting to see how durable it is with the Florida rain/sun. Hope you enjoy the pics. Thanks.

    Nice work! I have this wax, but haven't really used it yet. I think I used it once on a hood. It's supposed to be good stuff.

    Thanks! Its OK. It needed to go. Its the best thing. Couldn't justify having a racecar for a toy when I needed a daily to put my kids in if need be.

    I've been wanting to try this Wax for quite awhile.

    What was your application method:
    -Bare hand(s)/finger tips
    -Foam applicator
    -Foam pad/polisher
    -Other

    Thanks.

    I tried using my bare hands on the top of the deck lid but I feel it puts too much product on making for difficult removal. And wastes product.
    I used the supplied foam applicator without issue.
