The product description reminds me of Zymol and man, check out the price of the divine wax.

Please do a search on this product line. We've talked about it before several times. Thanks.

CarKrazy, I have used their products recently.

After using Meguiars, S100, Blackfire and other brands, I can boldly say that Swissol offers the most satisfying end-results for me.

I am not Megs is not good. But on my Glasurit Red paint, Swissol's Onyx Wax gives it a surreal "glow" and liveliness that I could not get with other products. Very wet, beads water like crazy until now (5weeks!!) in hot and humid climate. Sure it's
expensive. But it's darn worth it! You must try it!

CarKrazy,

Hi, this is your Malaysian neighbour!

Zymol is a derivative of Swissol.
Currently, many Zymol users and dealers in the US are getting out of Zymol due to quality issues. In short, Zymol is a dying brand. I am sure you have noted that Zymol's packaging, product range and marketing story is very similar to Swissol!
Forget Zymol.....go for Swissol!

I have been a long time Meguiar's user and although their products are excellent if you know which to use and how to use them, I am always interested to try out something more exotic. Swissol fits this requirement.

While Megs have excellent surface prepping products and knowhow, Swissol concentrates more on the aesthetic part of it.
Megs is similar to using skincare products and then followed by cosmetics. Swissol is mainly focusing on the cosmetic part of it. Look at the range and price of their Carnaubas and you'll know.

My car has always been done by Meguiars products and I am intimately familiar with the look that I can get from Meguiars.

When my car was done by Swissol, I was very surprised....
my 2K Red became alive! It was so vivid and glossy with that wet look that many manufacturers often rave about. In short, without talking about surface prep, Swissol offers me the most stunning results I've ever seen.

Swissol is available in Singapore now.

Ensure that you clay and clean the paintwork first.
Use Cleaner Fluid to cleanse and polish.
Follow up with Onyx.

You'll be surprised!
In Malaysia, I park in the open everyday and I get impressive water beading after 4 weeks and 15 washes.

Swissol is the best wax I have used.Easy to apply,easy to remove,great finish and oohhhhhhh!!! the smell!Gorgeous!
If you like Onyx,just wait till you try Samurai or Shield.

I totally agree with 6cyls of fury,good stuff but not worth the exta,better to spend the extra money you'd have shelled out on better MF.

As I see it the problem with it is there is no point spending about A$180+ on a wax if you dont back that up with at least an equal amount on clay, swirl removers, pads, polsihes, towels etc.

No point putting a fantastic wax (which I think Swissol in the end analysis is) on a swirled up or average finish.

It's that psychological feeling about paying more so you get a better product and in your mind it looks better too. Since Swissol is Zymol aka Turtle Wax!

Even the products and jar looks like Zymol, don't get me wrong, I was a Zymol Carbon, Creme, Volvo and Japon user since high school until I discovered this website!

Klasse rules!
