I received crystal rock a few days ago and was eager to try it out. I started by claying and did a quick polish on the car . I did this even though TS Fay's rains were approaching. My neighbors thought I was crazy.

Overview: The wax smells great. It has a white color. The wax itself was softer than I expected. I thought it was going to hard since it has 76% carnauba content (but thats something no one can figure out)

Applying: Applying the wax was effortless as swissvax waxes are. I used CG applicator as I don't really like applying by hand ( I have calluses from working out and don't want to even risk it on Honda paint). It was easy to apply a thin coat.

Removing: I let it sit for around 15 min and it was very easy to buff off.

Initial Results: As soon as I buffed off the wax, it was easy to notice the wetness and depth. I believe this wax has a cleaner look than Concorso. Concorso give a real nice wet look, but it sometimes kind of looks oily/sloppy. Crystal Rock gives the wet look without giving the oily look (I hope you guys understand). I feel it has sharper reflections than the other Swissvax waxes. It has clarity just as good as Vintage. My only knock against Vintage is that it doesn't have the depth of the Swissvax waxes. Also for being outside for a day, it didn't collect as much dust as other carnaubas I've used. This is a huge plus for me. I'll keep you all updated on this.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with this wax. It seems to be a great overall wax and hits all the points I am concerned with and more.

It was starting to rain. The pictures don't do the wax justice. It looks MUCH better than the pictures below. Hopefully, I can get some shots with the sun out,but here are some pictures:























It started raining. Here is a vid of the beading and sheeting

Thanks Alot!

Honestly, I debated about buying Crystal Rock alot (Phil can attest to this, I was pretty gun shy). It was alot of money for an average guy like me. But, I think it was worth it. We are all a bit crazy spending alot of money on detailing supplies (or at least my friends think so).

All in all, so far I am very impressed. I would do it again if I had the chance to go back in time. If I get some good durability, than its even more o f a plus. I don't expect to be buying another jar for awhile, as I've been using concorso on my cars and other cars for over a year and still haven't used much.

yeah i see what your talking about. those pics don't show the depth and wet look like one's for the 993. i gotta say i am surprised on the low level of dust attraction. i haven't used another nuba that repels dust like this.. i haven't used vintage actually the only other high-end waxes i have used are concourso and zymol concours, and this in my opinion blows them out of the water.

glad you love it!!! i can definitely see myself buying a few more jars in the future.

Thanks alot! I'm happy with it. I added a video and am enjoying the water just gliding off the car as it rains.
