That was very interesting reading...but now I have a question...I read that Concourso was latter reformulated and called Best of Show...now is the Concourso sold now the older formula and best of show the newer version..seems like the newer one would be better...since all Ivory Caranuba and no yellow like the previous version...

Well they look like different waxes to me....from the decription on Swissvax page....

Smaragd Best of Show wax

Enriched with pineapple and cinnamon oil extracts containing 51% by volume of ultra pure Brazilian non bleached and yellow carnauba wax. Best of Show wax gives your paintwork a lustre ordinarily encountered only on prize winning classics.Best of Show win at European Concous d'Elegance in Dusseldorf.200ml



Concorso
Containing 50% by volume of pure Brazilian non bleached and yellow carnauba wax, Concorso wax gives the best of show shine to the older classic car.



The Smaragd BOS looks like a better wax...as far as description goes...one looks like its used for older paints and the other used for newer paints to give the look of classic older paint...

The older nitro cellulose paints required oil rich polishes to renew (feed) the pains oil-based binder system (now you know why it 'beads' so well on a standard CC)
