New Product Scholl Concepts Premium Vintage Wax $169.00

NEW from Palm Beach Motoring Group sister company Autopia:


Scholl Concepts Premium Vintage Wax $169.00

Scholl Concepts Premium Vintage Wax


Interesting that the application process includes:

"Apply a small amount of Scholl Concepts Premium Vintage Wax to a section at a time and wipe away 70% of the haze using a soft microfiber towel. Massage the remaining carnauba wax into the paint using the palms of your hands to melt the wax molecules and ensure a tight paint-wax bond. Wipe away the melted residue completely to reveal your masterpiece."


I wonder if you can complete step one and then roll the vehicle out in the sun to complete step #2 with a DA to "melt the wax molecules"?

Their less expensive Scholl Concepts The Rock Premium Paste Wax ($139.00) does not suggest this application method.

The Premium Vintage is 60% T1 Carnauba by volume versus The Rock which is 40% Brazilian carnauba wax by volume and does not reference T1 grade Carnauba.

Has anyone used this product yet?

Currently enjoying Wolfgang Fuzion. Using a sample of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant on the next session.

Interesting that the application process includes:

" Massage the remaining carnauba wax into the paint using the palms of your hands to
melt the wax molecules and ensure a tight paint-wax bond."

Knowing the approximate temperature range in which carnuba-waxes' melting points lie in...
The temperature of the palms of ones hands, (that would be needed to generate enough heat to melt wax molecules),
would seem to have to be far beyond the range/scope of humans' comfort zone.

If not ...Then:
Should anyone apply a Wax-LSP, (acting as a paint-protection-product),
that will start "melting" around 98.6 degrees? IMO: NO!


Also:

..."a tight paint-wax bond"

I thought that carnuba-wax didn't actually 'bond' to vehicles' paint...
(I think of: The Turtle's: Super Hard "Shell"...as a wax-bonding example).

Interesting...

^^^I agree^^^

That's probably the most laughable application method for a product that I have seen yet. How does one determine what 70% removal means? That could vary from user to user.

And, "Massage the remaining carnauba wax into the paint using the palms of your hands to melt the wax molecules and ensure a tight paint-wax bond." :laughing:

What a bunch of marketing hyperbole. PASS!

Not to mention my own comfort with getting in the zone and rubbing my palms all over my car. My neighbors already think I'm nuts - this might just be the nudge they need to call the authorities. I'm not risking it.

I tried this method and I personally cant justify getting my hands full of wax thats hard to remove. As far as getting the right temperature, how about I just wax it normally and if they really wanted it "warm" then ill just use a heatgun.

Here's how you do it:

It looks like the guy is using a lot if wax for that little area. I would just apply it thin like any other carnauba wax. If you apply it thin, it likely won't take 2 steps to remove.

Maybe this method is recommended because the wax can ghost on dark cars because it is a higher carnauba % product. Not sure, but according to the video description, this method is recommended for both their waxes.

"Melting" and "bonding" may also be terms use loosely here. In reality, nothing (including sealants) bond to paint except for some coatings. "Melting" may be used just as a description for softening the product.

I wouldn't be so quick to snub the product(s) or the application method(s). The can't has a very good reputation, and we all know Zymol also recommends "massaging" wax into the paint and its not necessary to get great results.

If you could you'd be less likely to get arrested.

I know Scholl has a great reputation but in the end this is just marketing, either regular application or hand application, and in the video that swan linked, I know he is demonstrating but he leaves the container on the hood without a towel, so much for car care

and finally, they give a random "70%" number which is dumb...when people buff off wax etc they do just that, buff it off...they don't buff and say "hmm I am only going to aim to remove 60%, 70%, 80%" etc, there is no way to gauge it, so like I said it is just marketing and a way they want people to think they came up with something new and better, which is really just a combination of two methods that have been used before, pad application and hand applications (zymol, swissvax)

"Should anyone apply a Wax-LSP, (acting as a paint-protection-product), that will start "melting" around 98.6 degrees? IMO: NO!"

Great point.

The greatest developments in wax technology are:

1. Waxes that do not stain trim

2. Waxes that Wipe on Wipe Off (WOWO)


Current favorites- Wolfgang Fusion and Pinnacle Soveran; bought 3oz samples of both.
