Default Swissvax

So just out of curiosity, I decided to give Swissvax a shot and see what all the fuss was about. Ordered Swissvax Onyx from Detailers Domain about a week ago and finally had a chance to wax my car over the weekend. There were a few minor swirls that could have used some attention, but nothing really major so I decided to just go with just the wax. Since I only have a finite amount of clear to work with, I try not to polish unless absolutely necessary.

-washed with Adam's car shampoo
-clay'ed entire car with Adam's detail spray & clay bar
-wash again
-light spray entire paint surfaces with diluted alcohol and damp MF cloth. I wanted make sure no residual "old" wax was still on the paint.
-rinsed with water and dried
-Swissvax Onyx application: Surprisingly easy to apply. I used my bare hands and this stuff pretty much melts when it hits the palm of your hands. A little goes a long way and it doesn't take much to cover an entire panel. This stuff also smells pretty good. Comes off rather easy and barely any dust to speak of. After letting it cure and left alone for a few hours, I can honestly say this stuff is awesome. The depth, especially on black, is phenomenal. Water sheets off really well.

I previously had Adam's Americana on the car, and that too was exceptional. I'd have to give the slight edge over to the Swissvax though. It's not a huge difference, but it is noticeable... to me anyways. Then again, it could be a placebo effect. It certainly isn't worst. So far though, I'm very pleased with the results. Yeah it's certainly pricey for a wax, but I'm definitely glad I tried it.
