Thanks for the compliments, guys. My exhaust is a Fujitsubo Legalis R with Ractive T820 tips.

I have used Zaino and it provides a shine that is very different than this wax does. hard to describe unless you have used them both, and I have.
Zaino gives your car a very "plastic" shine. I personally love the way it looks and the more you put on the better it gets.

I am finding out now for you hopefully will get an answer by the end of the day.

I'm going to guess that they do batches so the colors will range. Also the stock photos are older so that's also probably what might get a bit confusing.

Thanks Phil the jar actually says Swissol on it. So, it may be old (pre-Zymol copyright law suit) or it may have been brought back from Switzerland where they can still use the name Swissol.

It works pretty well. So, I'd be pretty surprised if I had been duped. Plus, the guy I bought it from is a pretty reputable guy on Autopia.

Mike thanks for the info...actually I found out that in May 2007 many of the colors changed per Swissvax.

So whatever else was on the shelf prior to that were different colors. Anything from May 2007 should be different. If I'm right blue is no longer in the mix. (got to check that out)

For the Swissvax users - is their cleaner fluid absolutely necessary, or can I get away with using something like my existing zymol HD-Cleanse? From the sound of the product description, it seems like they're functionally equivalent...

The shots in the first post were after a few days of driving and dust. Here are a few shots after I washed at lunch today. I've become a whore...



BOOM!

yes it would be a good idea to use the cleaner fluid prior to the Swissvax.

HD cleanse has the same purpose but its applied completely different.

With HD Cleanse you can let it sit till your done with the applying the whole car. with Swissvax you should not let it dry. (trust me on this one)

Still looks amazing!

honestly the depth and gloss will last a long time.

I've done my cars and just maintain it with a wash and a coat every month and the cars look amazing.
