Any one Tried Swissvax?

I got some swissvax goodies that im picking up tomorrow from a pal to try on my car. Has anyone tried using them before this is what i was going to do . Has anyone used them. Apparently the wax is supposed to be the best wax on the market he said it was about £600 a tub.

Im going to have a go at vacuming stripes into the carpets too. See how good it looks. Does anyone have any tips on actually how to achieve this look?>

Snow Foam X1
Rinse
Snow Foam X 2
Use Wool mitt to wash
Rinse
Clay bar the whole car using swissvax clay and lube
Wash again with swissvax car bath shampoo
Wash the wheels with Bilberry and a toothbrush or alloy brush(if i can find it)
Dry the Car with microfibre drying cloth, dry the wheels with a separate microfibre
Then Im going to use swissvax cleaner fluid
Then apply swiss vax Crystal Rock wax.
Polish and buff like mad. By hand. Smile

They do a more expensive one at £1500 too....

Rimwax for the wheels is a good move too.....

Not used swissvax but hear good results of their products, Best Of Show been the one they all seem to rate, but there has been post about there reset price rises been steep, there HQ is in Knaresborough I believe

Applying by hand if often used by some to apply the waxes as the heat of your palms makes it spread, not sure if that's the real reason, but must help

As for stripes in the carpet, using the brush attachment, vacuum the carpet to remove the dirt, they finish by going, left to right so all the carpet fibres go in the same direction, then brush the strips in the opposite direction, leaving a gap in between. Basically the Final sweep is LR,RL,LR,RL,LR

Its not about how much you pay for a tub of wax but in the prep stages, the cleaner fluid by hand will only act as a filler and wont remove swirl marks ect... Rotary machine polishing is the only way to achieve the best results Thumbs Up

Also with a wax you have to keep topping it up every 3 months so i prefer a sealant for longevity...

Nooo not the silly stripes....lol

Ok so broken back and near enough 6 hours on my car and i must say...
its so clean and the paint is like glass....

Happy Girl so happy I could sleep in it

The Swiss Vax is really good although I found half way through doing the fluid i wanted to pack in as its quite hard work. but persevered.

Results are stunning.. the swissvax car shampoo is great too...




Oh and my attempt at stripes, well this is as good as it gets .... No laughing spearsy .The funny shapes are shadows.
