ive got a diamond white panel pot and used it on the wifes white bmw, its has less carnauba in it than supernatural but still worth getting.
swissvax imho are waxs for the pro's due to there higher carnauba content and take a little more work prep wise to acheive the best results from them, plus you need to be on a pro detailers wages just to afford them :rolleyes: dont get me wrong they are really good waxs but you'll need a mortgage just to buy some lol.not for the ametuer/begginer imho :wink:

Just as I put the wax on it today , it just P***ed it down all afternoon, Gutted!! But it does bead off well, also got some of that Car laquer for windscreen, The jury's out on that one at the moment. I think you just need to be doing about 40-50mph to get full benefit's from it?? I will try and put another coat on when its stopped raining. Lookig at the weather April showers the bloody rainy season now sick of it. :sick: :cool:

carlack 68 is good stuff dude :wink: make sure you give the car a quick wash before you apply another layer of wax as theres grit in the rain and you could end up scratching your car :cry:

How tough a job is it to put carlack68 on though, I put it on today, the cleaner I thought was gonna be the hard bit, working it in swirl motions vigourously was a bit tiring, then the buff off when it turns grey ? I mean come on I was cream crackered :grin: Then the sealant, ok that bit was fairly straight forward but I was still zonked from the clean part.
