questions about Swissvax Blau Weiss on jet black
The car is about a month old.
It has been through a new car detail, which consisted of wash, clay, wax seal. I decided to get swissvax, as I like the pics posted on this site. My question is, how are people getting more reflection instead of paint color? Is it just the camera focus, or does it actually look that good in person as well? Are they getting such results with an orbital, or can the same results happen with just using your hand? I've tried: Wash (two bucket method) Swissvax cleaner fluid Swissvax Blau Weiss (applied by hand, by melting the wax in my palm) wheel wax Question about the cleaner fluid: After applying this stuff, and wiping it off as instructed, it seemed to leave a greasy film on the paint, and no matter how hard I tried to wipe it off (swissvax towel, then microfiber, then swissvax polishing towel), it just smeared around and didn't really go anywhere. I experimented with the trunk lid, and just waxed over it, let it cure for ten minutes, then wiped it off. It looked fine to me. the pics posted are the results from the next day of the wax job. Does this look like a swissvaxed car? Or did I screw it up somehow? To be honest, it looks just like it used to right after the wash.

How did you apply cleaner fluid? i find that i get much better results when i use it with the orbital than by hand.
the car looks pretty good to me! What results were you expecting to get out of the swissvax that you weren't satisfied with? Also, It looks even better after the 1st wash! |

I used the foam pad that came with the cleaner fluid. Did yours leave the greasy film too?
I was expecting to see a more wet, mirror like reflection where it seems almost the reflection is stronger than the color of the paint. That's how the pictures showed that were posted here.
