Swissvax Concorso vs. SV Cleaner Fluid

[superstring]

huh, one square meter sounds like a pretty big area :think:

Yeah, you're right. :nixweiss I think I'd work an area about half that size.

Yeah I agree. But since this thread has risen from the dead, I'll rephrase my original question, which is: which is more responsible for the final "look", the "pre-wax cleaner" or the wax itself?? I'm not talking about the polishing; I'm sure you could apply Swissvax or Zymol or whatever over a properly polished surface and achieve the same level of "bonding" without the dedicated cleaners. But the "cleaners" (SV CF, HD Cleanse etc.) would seem to act more like glazes than cleaners. And therein lies the rub (that's supposed to be a joke, guys) :nervous:

To be honest, I would say neither. I would say the "final look" is more a product of your prep work prior to the cleaner fluid or wax. Then the combination of both the paint cleanser which contains oils and wax gives you that last little bit.

my basic question: Is the cleaner fluid necessary before SV wax? If so, then waxing is a 2 step process. With that time involved, I may stick to Zaino for most cars.

I have found the CF is hard to use. CF is necessary for the best look, because as stated (and similar to Zymol) I find more improvement in looks from the oil/glaze then the wax itself.



But no, car wax is car wax (regardless of hype and price) and it anchors to the paint. The cleaner fluid is not necessary for proper bonding (a clean surface should provide the best durability) because wax doesn't bond.



I think something like Danase Wet Glaze would actually be better under a wax because it gives a nice wet shine.

So, a clean surface via IPA wipedown, will be fine to apply the wax. The CF will give it that extra what, 1-5% better shine/depth/color/clarity?

The combo makes properly polished black paint look like an oil slick.



I am sure the Consorso is gone in a matter of days, hence the Zaino under to protect. Ill never leave Zaino.

why do you think its gone in days? Most experienced users seem to get about 8 weeks from it (spent a lot of time searching this).

Anyone else think the Concorso is gone in days? Seems awful fishy to me...
