in a word yes...

I think people have summed up why its great.

however keep in mind what concours is great for does not show up in picks. The warmth and glow i gives is unbelivable...

I have a feeling that you willlove it. And if not sell it. Give it a few try's (I would dsay but 3-4 coats ont he viper and you will be more then amazed).. if you dont like it upgrade your account for a few bucks and sell it... then its not a total loss...or just give it to me

I think they are approx 175 and SV 225. Pretty close IMHO.

I also had to melt the Z Concours in my palm before applying it since it is so grainy which I wasn't thrilled with. I guess it is not bad once you get used to it but an extra step none the less. Some people will apply it with their bare hands but I never had much luck doing it that way.

Personally, I would save up the extra $50 and the get the Swissvax since it's said to be a better wax... For me, I have a hard time justifying that kind of money on a wax on a daily driver. I find that Lusso Oro looks very good and since my vehicle has not been polished in over 1.5 years, a more expensive wax will only show more defects. Obviously, the Zymol and Swissvax are fantastic waxes, but there is a place for them. On my Ford Explorer and Dodge Ram, there isn't...

got it

...so the above posters have said about using the field galze and the hd clense...would that TOTAL price amount to the SV, jus being applied directly after polishing, or is there a few other products to use before slappin this badboy on?

thanks!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate everyone's comments.

If I go ahead and get the wax I'll probably try it on my black Z06 first since I have not detailed it since I first brought back in November. Since none of my sports cars are dailey drivers and I love the cars I will spend the money if I think it will make a somewhat significant difference.

I have never used any of the Zymol waxes before. So what is the recomended process for applying Concours?

For SV products the Cleaner Fluid is recomended

First you need to use Zymol HD cleanse. This is a paint cleanser.

You need to apply hd at one panel at time, then remove right away. Basicly you need to wipe it off after 60 seconds. If not it will be a pita to remove.

I applyed the wax at one panel at a time to, but big panels I did in two parts. Like the hood and roof. Then just wipe it right off.

After 3-4 hours go over the car with Zymol Field glaze, just for a final buff. One panel a time here to.

I think the big difference between the Zymol concours and Swissvax Concorso is the SV is a harder wax and you could probably get away applying it with a applicator where the Zymol is softer in consistancy and will need to be melted in your palm before applying. Atleast this is what I have heard as I do not have any first hand experience with the SV yet.

Detail after polish only with no wax or sealant:

Keep in mind that the red VW Jetta/Bora has done over 190.000miles....

I got my Concours a few weeks ago, and I'm really looking forward to test it on my Ming Blau Audi
