Default wax comparison: SV Saphir vs Pinacle souverain vs

A post that I got from a member of another forum. He said it was okay for me to post his findings.

Pretty nice write up.

I finished one part with 2 coats of swissvax saphir, one with 2 coats of pinacle souverain, and one with 1 coat of poorboy EXP and 1 coat of saphir.
Here are the before pics



test spot:


1 coat of swissvax saphir:


wide angle (2coats of souverain on the left/2coats of saphir on the right)


Close ups:



This is 1 coat of poorboy exp + 1 coat of saphir




All those product have different results they all bead perfectly but to the touch 2 coat of swissvax are so smooth, also swissvax looks deeper (more black).
Since those parts are from the junkyard I didn't spend too much time correcting but the paint was close to perfect (except deep scratches...)
hope you guys enjoyed.
PS: I am the worst photograph sorry for the quality of the pics...
next week i have zymol glasur to test and i ll post some results

Easy to see how the swissvax has a deeper/richer color. Nice comparison

I would hope that Saphir is better since it is double the cost.

I am receiving glasur today and will post results on this forum too, It as been over a week now and I start to see that saphir is still smooth in all area where souverain doesn't feel as smooth and some area starts to fade, I will do a beading test soon and will keep you posted, but it has been so hot here in MA!!!
