....many steps prior to Wax application
MW you are absolutely correct.
the steps to get to the final result are numerous (and sweaty workout inducing).
IMHO for any polish 80%-90% of the time is the surface preparation and that is very important as the final result depends on it.
for Swissvax the website has a famous 'Swissvax Handbook' that can be downloaded showing the surface prep steps.
with regards to the result above in the picture, additional steps in the prep were done, the claybar was one done twice actually and 2 different claybars were used before application of the pre-cleaner fluid layer (then buff off)....then finally wax application.

havent been posting much on watches lately. my apologies........this is because the last few months have been spent playing with a new toy. Here is the roadtrip story of the Audi S4 Sportwagen. Delivered recently after a 5 month wait. She now has to be ro...
SWISS MADE only naturally
SWISSVAX car polish....... Made in SWITZERLAND and the end result is swiss perfection...
re: Swiss Made...
Is the wax just the polish? Any steps before applying it? Clay bar? -MW

2 times?!
Wow, 2 times with a clay bar? No wonder it was so beautifully shiny! I would have been amazed if it was a simple apply, set, and remove but this made more sense. Lots of work but the results of Swissvax seems worth the effort especially if you do concours...
the wax coat will last.....
longer depending on what grade of wax u used from swissvax. in the 'top tier segment' of swissvax there are 3 waxes: concorso (S$380+/200ml), mystery (S$700+/200ml) and the legendary crystal rock (eye watering $1750/200ml and used by paul dalton who is th...
Great report on a fantastic trip!
and you named one of my favorite drives: the passo dello Stelvio, this fantastic tyre eater monster, last time I did I managed to burn my tyres in one uphill drive. Good to see another Audi Quad exhaust fan! Roads look fairly empty, did you have to behave...
S5 with the black optik option is an awesome combination!
there thankfully was no uniformed resistance to be found in the fairly deserted roads. major concentration is on the main North-South highway and in the day time usually. return trip used that particular highway at night and there were zero encounters als...
All my cars get MTM steroids...
Roland Maye, the owner of MTM is a passionate guy, He got 310 HP out of my first 225 HP 1,8T TT. I was supposed to get the MTM exhaust for the S5 but I am swopping it for the RS5 this summer. Cant wait to have it, Love the sound of the high revving V8 Reg...
that 8250rpm redline is sublime
should be total music to ones ears. congrads on the RS5. finally with the new exhaust layout and dual 70mm throttle bodies in the RS5 that magnificent V8 can finally show all its claws. perhaps post some pics when she is here... black optik package again?...
I have ordered the extra sound exhaust, lets see whether it is OK...
Black optik package is a must with titan wheels and body color rear view mirrors. Just do not know whether I should go for Daytona grey, black or .... imola yellow for a change. Main concern is long distance visibility from the uniforms Cheers. Luc
Great trip!
Roads look fun and very well maintained. 1900KM gets me into a couple states (maybe) and return, but I can appreciate the tour of your country you had. had stick Pirellis on my Audi for the first couple sets, but they just wore too fast. Now have Yokahama...
....TPMS!!!
saves the day..... got a puncture too last week, thankfully after the trip
Nice road trip! Thanks for sharing!
The food looks delicious. And congratulations on your new four-wheeled toy! You did a great job taping up the car. We have blue tape here in the United States. I wished we had black tape.
Fun road trip in your S4
Looks like a fun roadtrip in the S4. I really like the architecture in the Awana Kijal Resort. Thanks for sharing. Regards, ED-209
