New Toys!

A nice big box was delivered to me today containing nice new products for my detailing in the coming year, most of these Swissvax products which I am really looking forward to using on future details.



With great thanks to a fellow detailer who lives near me, he let me try out the Swissvax products first hand and gave me samples to try out and test to see if I like them... and I did, so I treated myself with my work christmas bonus!





Best of Show Entry Collection











A nice collection of products to get me started here. The all important Cleaner Fluid for before the wax. Pneu for tyres and other exterior rubber and plastics. Car Bath shampoo. Wax and Cleaner Fluid Applicator pads. Two terry cloths that feel nice and soft (though the only thing I've used terry cloths in the past for is removing #7 residue as I find them better than microfibres for this). And a very soft and fine feeling polishing cloth... And of course, the Best of Show wax and my first immediate impression of this is just how damn good it smells!!! :lol: Pineapple! :thumb:





Swissvax Onyx Wax







The entry level Swissvax wax, I wanted this also to try out and aim to use this on hopefully a good few details throughout the year. Smells of watermellon, very nice - but not as nice smelling as Best of Show! :lol:





Swissvax Wheel Kit







Will be looking to try this kit out on my own wheels in the spring when I take my wheels off for major cleaning. Contains Wheel cleaner that smells of peppermint (concentrate that dilutes 4:1 in the mixing bottle), gloves, two brushes and a polishing cloth.





Swissvax Autobahn Wheel Wax







A very cute dinky jar of this, and another product I am itching to get applied to my own car to test out. :thumb: Smells of chocolate.





And also, a few other products as well:



Victoria Concours Wax







I'd never heard of Victoria wax until about a month ago... :o But I'm always keen to try out new products (well, new to me! :lol: ) so I will be giving this a run out in the near future.





Carlack68 Scratch Remover & Polishig Paste







Looking to try these out by hand on my test panel soon to see how they do at removing swilrs by hand. :)





Menzerna







Hardly new to me, I've been using Menzerna for some time now and as I can always rely on them to deliver me the results I'm looking for, be that on the rotary or PC, I've topped up my supply with 1 litre of each: S34A Power Gloss, PO85RD3.01 Intensive Polish, PO106FF Final Finish and PO85RD Final Finish.



I'm seriously looking forward to detailing in 2007! :D
 
Some great looking stuff. I'll definitely look forward to hearing your opinions on the new stuff :)

Nice catch.



Nice towels, do you think the embroidery will scratch?

I'll test them out on my scrap panels as I do with all new products :). Dont often use terry towels myself, really just for removing #7 actually.



All being well, I have a dark blue VW Golf R32 to detail a week today, so it'll be first in line for Swissol from me. :)
 
Holy Hell!



I just today went on the USA Swissol site. That is some serious cash to purchase that. I'm glad you could though!!! Be proud!!!



Now put that van and kit to work and start out blazing in 07.......



Pics are a must!
 
Oh one more thing, are your prices going to increase or just offer a upgraded package to choose from?
 
Dave, isn't PO106FF Final Finish and PO85RD Final Finish pretty similar polishes? When would you use one vs. the other?

The 106FF has a stronger cut then the 85RD, so I would use the 106FF more as a polish for defect correction on cars with soft to medium paint by rotary... it will also finish down LSP ready easily (nice crytstal sharp finish) so can in many cases be a single step defect correction and finish.



The 85RD I tend to use more as a following finishing polish when using 85RD3.0x Intensive Polish. By rotary, the IP does finish down LSP ready but I find the very light cutting 85RD ideal as a finshing polish that refine and sharpens up the look.



If I had to choose one or the other, I'd have the 106FF as it more of an all-rounder, but I like having both to choose from. :)
 
Wow you can get the 085 & 1066 in the UK? Wicked setup. Very nice wheel brush. Let us know how they perform, Swissol has been around for awhile like Zaino from what I see.
