Question to the Wax Gods

[CM8 6MT]

Theres 2 LSP's that Ive been interested for some time now, which not many people know about. I was wondering if any of you guys have used/ or heard of them before:

1. IonCoat Naviwax: This wax is straight from the land of Japan. It has some rave reviews in Europe, alot of detail forums based in Europe praise this carnuba based wax.

Theres a video review on you tube, I believe it has cleaners in it, alot of them due to the fact that the user showed light swirls being removed. I found it on sale on Ebay for $29.99 + $10.00 shipped from a seller in Japan. Im kicking myself now because its no longer posted.

This one is Naviwax "Dark" for dark colored paint.

Navi wax "Light" for light colored paint.

2. Victoria Wax Concours Red: This wax looks butter smooth, the company seems very small and family owned.

From their website: "Our goal is to make good waxes and related compatible car care products. We are not market oriented or strategy geniuses, all we want to do is keep it simple and supply good products to those few special true enthusiasts that can tell the difference"

And they are a pretty penny. 3oz runs at $38, 6oz at $58.

If any of you guys have used any of these please feel free to share! Or if you have not used any of these, post your thoughts. Thanks

Rave reviews from Europe, maybe, they might not be able to obtain the plethora of products available that we have in the US.

I have seen Victoria Wax products a long time ago, thought it was more of a boutique item and couldn't justify the cost at that time.

Too many great waxes available, will just use what works best for what I do. (I need more polishes and waxes like my wife needs more shoes!!!)

Please keep the post going if you decide to try either one.

I don't wish to speak for my peers...But:
Thanks for asking about NaviWax!! :xyxthumbs:


However...
-Being that the demand for my speaking engagements have waxed at an alarming rate...
-My comments concerning: All-things-wax...Have been limited to questions regarding my use,
if any, of a depilatory wax---to the effect of removing any unwanted 'body-hair', so to say.

i've heard of both items.. but have limited knowledge on them and zero experience, I've always wanted to try a vic wax, however the price usually deters me :dunno:

Funny, I have both these products (Navi is a 1 oz sample) and haven't used them yet. The Navi is hard and crumbly and smells horrible. I can't see using it being a pleasant experience. I don't think Navi is an AIO.

Vic's is smooth and soft in the container, kind of like a Dodo soft. This wax has nothing but the best reputation, so I'm expecting it to be pretty good.

I am no wax God, but I'll answer...
I have Naviwax and Vic's: however, the Naviwax I own is the Ultimate version (more carnaúba).
Naviwax is easy to apply (with the car wet), has good durability (so they say...I don't care much about it), nice looks. It's more expensive than the ones you posted.
Vic's is less expensive than Naviwax and also very easy to apply. In the "looks department", it excels (specially on dark cars - it can compete with much more expensive carnaúbas). Less durable than Naviwax (good for the sunny season). It's a hard to beat looks/dolar ratio.
You can't go wrong with either of them.

I have them all. Not a huge fan of the Navi waxes. The Vic's is an amazing wax and the one I would personally choose. Vic's provides great durability and looks amazing. It can also be layered immediately unlike a lot of other waxes that suggest some period of time b4 layering. It also a fairly easy wax to use(apply to a panel or two and remove)

Thanks for the response guys. Victoria wax looks promising, and for the price Im not "too" worried about it considering some people are willing to drop $150 for fuzion and $100 for Souveran.
