Swissol Concorso on solid black 350Z + red F430 (no 56K)

[3fiddyz]

Hi guys

Just got done applying the Swissol Concorso wax on my 350Z and dad's 430. I'll be doing dad's other cars over the next few weeks with the wax too - a solid yellow and metallic black. The wax retails here for AUD $300 and came in its own pouch and with a hand signed certificate from the guy who made it

Some history - im a detailing fan and have used alot of waxes in the past, P21S, Zaino, OCW, Polylack, etc and find the Concorso to give the best wet look and clarity - im a carnauba man and only use sealants as base coats during winter

What suprised me was the clarity of this carnauba - 48% carnauba per volume. Ive only ever seen this clarity with sealants, never a carnauba. The P21S i was using on the 350Z prior really amplified the orange peel and often i would get hazing on my top panels

My mate who is a pro detailer prep'd the car with Menzerna FF and the Swissol Medium Cleaner Fluid (which has slight abbrassives). I then applied the Swissol Light Cleaner Fluid by hand and then the Concorso wax - just as easy as wipe on, let cure for 10mins, wipe off with no residue. Swissol say to use your hands, but i dont love detailing that much. I used a foam applicator and didnt have any issue with application

Im going to try layering the wax next wash and see how that goes. Swissol recommend to use the cleaner fluid every 2 coats of wax

Onto the pics. I used Mothers Billet Metal Polish + Xenit on exhaust. Wheels done with Polylack Nano Clean + Polylack Nano Seal. I will layer OCW next wash after the Nano Seal has properly cured


















430 has just the Swissol Light Cleaner Fluid + Concorso Wax - the red is so deep and rich its unbelievable. Wheels and CF with OCW. I have no idea what to use on the exhaust - they are a weird finish, a rough gritty titanium










.....and of course the money shot



ill post the other cars when done. My mate will be prep'ing the metallic black this Monday

Vehicles look great!

I will have to say that based soley on the photos, that the Concorso does have a slightly different appearance than I'm used to seeing with other carnaubas.

the Z looks incredible! wow nice job!

[klnyc]

Wow, that Z is hot.
What kind of camera are you using any btw?

[SilverLexus]

It looks great but honestly I wonder if you are better off getting Souveran for much less money.

Granted its hard to distinguish the differences from some photos, but to me it looks like the Swissol is much more reflective than Souveran. I really, really like the look, the cars are outstanding! Nice Work.

thanks for the feedback guys

i was contemplating trying the Souveran since i wasnt 100% happy with the P21S, but thought id rather use that cash towards a premium wax instead

the finish does look better in person, especially at night driving through the city with the lights washing over the panels

re camera, im using a canon ixus (400 i think) its a 5 mp. It doesnt like taking pics in direct sunlight though

the pics of the z are amazing.

PICS are awesome! I have used Swissol Scruderia (the one designed for Ferrari paint) with excellent results. The Z looks stunning and very nice Volk Wheels!

[3fiddyz]

01blue, did you try layering the scuderia wax?

i was told the swissol waxes have very very little cleansers so can be layered

[Bigpoppa3346]

Very impressive to say the least. Judging by the pics, it appears to have excellent reflectivity, clarity, and range, while still being very "emotional" looking. Souveran is very deep and wet, but the look is more distorted(or so it seems, judging by your pics) than the Concorso.

[Bence]

Bigpoppa, can you elaborate more on the "distorted" term here specifically?
