Tried out Swissvax Blau Weiss this weekend

808MGuy · 05-03-2009, 05:27 PM

I always wanted to try a high end carnauba since I've always used synthetics. People always says that you can't get the depth and wetness from a synthetic that you do from a carnuaba. Now I understand. The car looks amazing and it seems to get better as you let the wax cure.

It took me about 5.5 hours do complete the detail. I used:

Prima Mystique wash
Menzerna IP with a PC and a green LC CCS pad
Swissvax Cleaner Fluid with a PC and a white LC CCS pad
Swissvax Blau Weiss by hand with a red foam pad

I only did one coat of Blau Weiss this time to evaluate the durability. If I'm not happy with the durability, I'll try 2 coats next time.

Amazing! You already know im a big fan of your car.

Where did you get the Blau Weiss from? Oh wow its around $159?!

Damn and i thought my Pinnacle Souveran was pricey.

Nice work!

KiokenM3 · 05-04-2009, 10:14 AM

so sexy

Crazy Bimmer · 04-07-2011, 10:59 PM

Bump. Any more feedback on it? About the pull the trigger but want to make sure its worth the price tag.

GOLFFRR · 04-07-2011, 11:03 PM

holy smokes on the price but wow your car looks insane! i am very impressed.

JonnyM3 · 04-07-2011, 11:19 PM

Car looks great!! Don't get the carnauba bug though, I got about 6 waxes that cost over $100 each and that's after selling some. Beautiful work man

808MGuy · 04-08-2011, 02:35 AM

I am now going back and forth between the Swissvax and Menzerna Powerlock. The powerlock is super slick and shine wise it looks really good. You just don't get added depth you get from carnauba. If you don't need showroom kind of shine, use powerlock for 30% of the price and it lasts 150% longer.

Detailers Domain · 04-08-2011, 12:34 PM

have you tried einszett glanz yet?

JonnyM3 · 04-08-2011, 12:50 PM

If you like the look if a carnauba but prefer the extra month or so durability from powerlock, I'd recommend picking up some Coli 915. Looks incredible and will easily out last Powerlock

Brosef · 04-08-2011, 01:59 PM

the smell of the Blau Weiss alone is worth the price.

Crazy Bimmer · 04-08-2011, 03:00 PM

I suppose durability isnt that much of a factor for me. As long as the carnauba can last a month then im happy.

Typically during summer i am applying wax once a month anyways.

ScheerSpeed · 04-08-2011, 07:02 PM

i love blau weiss... it's what i normally use on my car.

I've gotten 2-2.5 months of durability from each application, using SV Car bath weekly

I don't see a point in adding multiple coats, i just clay mine, apply cleaner fluid, and apply SV Blau Weiss or Concorso every 3 months

tha_good_life · 04-21-2011, 12:21 PM

damn! now thats one shiny car!

edu09 · 05-06-2011, 02:59 PM

Looks great, I have been looking for a good wax product everywhere
How hard is to buff it off?

Using a Swissvax Blue Cloth it's easier than anything you have ever used.

You shouldn't use any other cloth to buff off a Swissvax wax, the fibers of normal microfibers will damage the wax layer.
