Cobra 6 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Anybody use the below? http://www.swissvax.us/SFNT.html I see a lot of talk on the forum about Adam's, 303, Zaino and onesy/twosy other cleaners, protectants, waxes, etc but not sure if anyone has had experience (good/bad) w/Swissvax/Swizöl. The Crystal Rock boasts 76% Vol. Carnauba. /r 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsquared Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 I have used Adams products since I purchased my 500 in December. I have been satisfied with it so far. I try to buy US made goods when possible. I am sure you will be satisfied with any of the products mentioned. All the top brands are about the same in my opinion but everyone has their favorites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingram4868 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 I just love the Zaino look. If you have the arm strength to put on 5-6 coats it is like looking into a deep crystal clear pool of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the top brands are about the same in my opinion but everyone has their favorites I think Adams is probably the route I will take. I'm having my Shelby fully detailed before I leave for my deployment. Yes, I know...normally I wouldn't take my car to somone else but I leave in one week and the selection of car detailing products in Germany isn't plentiful, at least not one's like Adams, Zaino, 303, etc. So, that said, since I won't be here long enough to order detailing products and have them delivered in time, combined w/the fact I just took delivery of her this past Monday, I wanted to ensure she was fully detailed before I put her up for the next 8 months and opted to have her professionally detailed. I'll most likely order all I need (want) from Adams right before I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IngotSilverSnake Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 As always, I recommend Liquid Glass Polish and other products. 23 coats on the Shelby, 23 coats on the wife's BMW (that is called equality) and 70+ coats on the 13 year old Ram (looks showroom new). Buy at http://www.autobarn.net/liqglascarca.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra78 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 I was thinking about liquid Glass also.But can it be used on the flat black striped??? All my other cars have semi gloss stripes and I had no problem putting wax or polish on them but flat black I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my other cars have semi gloss stripes and I had no problem putting wax or polish on them but flat black I don't know. The LG Polish cannot be used on flat black stripes. In doing so, you are trying to shine something that was not meant to be shined. Although the LG will not harm the stripes, it will leave a blotchy appearance. As you noted, there is no problem on gloss vinyl stripes. Do a search on line and you will find a number of products made to protect matte stripes.

I think you'll be happy with Adam's products. They're not cheap, but they're (almost 100%) made in the USA, every one I've used works exactly as advertised, and they offer a 110% satisfaction guarantee. Be sure to check out their forums BEFORE you buy, since they offer a standing 10% discount for forum members. Alternatively, you can watch for one of the 3-4 big sales they run every year, when they offer 15% off everything.

All my other cars have semi gloss stripes and I had no problem putting wax or polish on them but flat black I don't know. There are, obviously, a number of products that will produce good results on flat black stripes. As an Adam's user, I rely on their Brilliant Glaze and SVRT for mine.

MJN Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Any of you guys check out AMMO. I started using some of his products and really like them, not to mention his attention to detail and his videos are great in my opinion. http://www.ammonyc.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far using his paint regimen and could not be any happier. His Hydrate for drying works great, and after a drive the bugs came off real easy.

DubbsFaris Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I have ZERO patience for cleaning and detailing my car. Not to mention time. I use the time someone else is cleaning the car to come on here and find someone new to piss off or get banned. Time management! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raustin0017 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yes....I use the Blau-Weiss specially designed for BMW paints. Before I spent $200 for the wax...I contacted a Tech at Swissvax. I came away with a better understanding about high quality car wax. it is all about the % of Carnauba in the product. The higher the % = the higher the price. I'm currently using Chemical Guys Lava Luminous Glow Infusion on my SGM 14. It turned out amazing!!! Good luck Anybody use the below? http://www.swissvax.us/SFNT.html I see a lot of talk on the forum about Adam's, 303, Zaino and onesy/twosy other cleaners, protectants, waxes, etc but not sure if anyone has had experience (good/bad) w/Swissvax/Swizöl.

mikejaeggi Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 +2 for the Adams products. I was a life-long zaino boy for my Vette but tried the adams products based on reccomendations from the forum when I got my shelby and have been very impressed.
