This is a mini review of 2 waxes with similar
ingredients. Both having `Nuba and Montan.
Zymol Carbon is a very soft wax with a more organic mix of ingredients.
Vitreo is a hard wax, I believe is more high tech
in mixture.
First I cleaned the paint with https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170701/3e3aad2bf9edf6a6fda55c6ae0026f4a.jpg

The same towels and ap. pad. Carbon on left,
Vitreo on right.

I began to notice a difference when applying.
So I`ll explain.
Carbon : Went on smooth(fresh out of the fridge, per instructions), like I could work it forever.
The consistency of soft whipped butter. Had a sweet scent that slowly turned to a light detergent smell.
Easy to apply thin or thick. It hazed quick but was still oily, kinda wet.
Removal was easy, and I could hear it softly crunching, buffed up nice with no
residue or oil left behind.
Vitreo : Easier to apply to the pad than Carbon.
A thin coat dried almost instant. Could not spread. Tried a bit thicker which helped alot.
Sweet scent with plastic overtones. Very quick to haze. Less than 2 min. and it was dry.
Removal since it was dry, like scrubbing it off. Do not let it haze, remove as you apply.
It will suck the fibers right out of the towel, so use a short nap.
Buffed up with some oily residue, not much.

At this point I was ready to call a winner, but..
When I checked for muting of the metal flake,
gloss and slickness.
Carbon had slightly muted the flakes, and the gloss was not deep but the slickness was unreal.
Vitreo for all the fight ! No muting of flakes, they
floated and danced in the sunlight in such a deep
wet, lustrous pool. Not as slick but shimmering
and radiant.

Lastly, beading was practically identical
