Zymol Vintage Glaze, 61% (by volume) Premium Carnauba (White) as an aesthetic wax IMO has no equal
as I said I've never used a wax based upon durability so I can't comment, but it looks brilliant (even on a white paint surface)

Meguiar's 16 has lasted a long time for me, I'm only on one layer and it's still beading, although the beads got bigger . It's been at least 2-3 months.

I've been really impressed with the durability with my swissvax products...even more impressed with 'em than FMJ durability wise.

I just feel so secure with concorso on my paint.

its the high carnauba content that makes it durable. against water and sun damage.

so i guess, buying buying the Z vintage will be worth it too since it has 60% carnauba content..??? how many applications can you get with swissvax concorso?

If it was really 60% carnauba in the jar, you couldn't break it up with a hammer!
