Brett, Swissvax is the shiznit, but for the money, I believe that Pinnacle (especially their Souveran wax), is the best bang for your buck...doesn't cost any more than Mother's gear, and is so much better!

P21S makes a damn good concourse wax too, priced similarly to the Souveran. Horses for Courses though, everyone likes something different and finds what works well for them.

My only recommendation is you move away from Repco/Supercheap products i.e. Meguiars or Mothers, if you really want to make your car look spectacular. No doubt they work great, but there are better products out there.



That's exactly the same order that I do my car. Carnauba wax is great, and shines like nothing else, but the only problem with the more pure carnauba's, is they don't last anywhere near as long as a synthetic wax.

Best to save the Carnauba for a non-daily driven car, or for when you're entering shows, etc. For a daily, I wouldn't recommend Carnauba, as you're just fighting a losing battle with the elements and will have to re-apply it often to maintain the shine.

Also, Carnauba can streak up in the sun and will need regular buffing if you're at an outdoor show, but this of course depends on the blend and purity of the carnauba...some do it, some don't.

I use a paint cleanser every time I polish and wax, and only use the clay bar when the paint begins to feel gritty.
