EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING!!!!!! haha.

On 'Some guy's" website, the description of the wax is 1-3 years. I tried to put this out to the owner however did not get a response back. I gathered my own findings just from that simple example. I would love to try this wax or better yet have the money in my pocket it would cost to buy it.

Haha, I say we let Paul Dalton choose the flavor!!!



Disclaimer: again, not slagging off this wax by any means, just surprised by the 1-year durablity claims. Everyone keep their panties on!

I think it is fair to ask that any claim stated should be able to be independently verified. If it can't be, it shouldn't be up there.

Of course, I'm not saying that CR doesn't meet its claim(s) as I don't know the basis of the statement and haven't seen the statement for myself. For example, our waxes will last a year on a car if you wax a car and put it in storage under a cover for a year. Without UV light to break it down, it could last a year without issue.

But even though that may allow us to make such a claim, it would be cynical to do so if people made a different assumption, ie 'one year of durablity' was commonly thought to mean it would last a year when the car is used regularly.

The fact is that good carnauba products generally last around 3 months and you can get up to 6 months from good layered sealants. This is just the state of the art at the moment with natural waxes and acrylic/polymer waxes (sealants). Of course, there is always scope for improvement and progress in the future, but that is a fairly accurate rule of thumb assuming the car gets used day in, day out.

Anyway, I'm sure everyone would love to know the exact basis and verification for the claim that is being made about CR and would love someone from SV or even PD himself to set the record straight. Unverified claims are all too common in this industry and I would dearly love to be proved wrong and nibble on a panel pot of Paul's choosing. I should state that it would need to be an independently verified or verifiable claim and pertain to a layer of Crystal Rock lasting one year on a car in regular use, as this would be my understanding of the claim as it was represented here. If that is the wrong interpretation, I'll withdraw the offer of eating a panel pot but will gladly listen to how the claim is justified

I think customer should have a little brain cell when examining the claim"xyz wax last for 1 year". Well it's too many variables to even mention. Garage, outside, inside Argon filled gas chamber...
Driven in winter behind snow plow and sander, under monsoon rain storm in regular basis etc...


As engineer if something doesn't have unit of measurement, it's subjective period and people trying to make it as objective as possible is nothing but fool.

PS: doesn't mean engineer like me doesn't appreciate high-end wax.

the application was easy, but as the DODO factory said, i applied it wrong. i applied it by hand, when it is supposed to be applied by applicator pad.

[scheerspeed]

exterior was polished with menz 85RD and then dodo juice lime prime lite and dodo juice supernatural 2.0

the wheels have swissvax autobahn
