Whats the deal with Swissvax

I see all the threads with everyone raving about swissvax.

So whats the deal with it? Ive been using Zaino for the last 3 years and never had any complaints. But if swissvax is really that great, it may be time to change.

So what are the advantages? Reason's to switch?
I understand its a wax, and zaino is a synthetic sealant, right?

I would have to agree the last step is really ones personal choice, you may love it or hate.

Some love Zaino some don't. Some love Swissvax and some may not.

Cooch juice? Really, where do we get that one. LOL LOL LOL.
I might start mixing zaino with my burberry cologne to compete with swissvax.

In all seriousness, i might try the new glacier Phil.

If you need me to show you how to get cooch juice....you might be beyond help.

Just kidding. And CREED Green Irish Tweed is a nice compliment to Burberry (which I also wear). CREED is some expensive shite though.

LOL its own fuzzy applicator. My doesnt have one!! Maybe I can borrow a friends who has a fuzzy applicator.

I did notice the considerable price difference, so the question is, is it worth that much more??? Personally I dont see how it could be!

The recommendation to use cooch juice seems awfully fishy to me. I'm perfectly happy with Zaino.

Make sure you guys dont use Meguiar's Cooch juice at the wrong time of the month, it can stain your paint!

2 or 3 layers of wax improves the shine. Some waxes such as Victoria red concours give off more of a glow after the second coat. It also gives a bit more protection which never hurts.
