Just wondering, what's your opinion about Victoria RED concours. when I bought this product, I thought; nothing can beat the wetness of souveran.Really. Then, I applied rec to like 4 cars including my beige alero DD and it made the paint quite wet-looking and after 3months it's still beading!! It blow souveran by miles. However, I keep using souveran on my summer black car because I think souveran gives maybe a *little* extra and I like so much the smell of it. oh and.. easier to apply/remove!



Anyways, how would you rate Concours wax ?? or maybe even the whole like of vic. I heard collector is only 4% less carnauba by volume than red but boost the durability with polymer.



1. It's worth his price.. 90$

2. It's worth double his price. 200$ wax ( CG waxes, DODO juice)

3. Premium wax ( Concorso, Race-glaze,Zymol) +300$



I'm really feeling victoria, might sell half of my collection to just use victoria's products.
 
I'd say Victoria Concourse is near the top of the tree, and as you've discovered, very durable too for a concourse wax.



See if Bence chimes in...he's a big Victoria wax enthusiast. :spot
 
Ummm... Yep, we can say that. :-)



IMO for sheer bang for the buck, it's very very hard to beat. Of course, we saw beauty waxes with so-so durability, and heavy pastes with ho-hum looks. When I first encountered the Victorias, I had the same expectations as with, say, Souverän. Maybe even lower, because from the pics I saw (I think on a green BMW Z3) it looked pretty average. But as my jars arrived from Canada, I tried them, tested them, tortured them (simply being here in Hungary is an unimaginable PITA for waxes), and I must say that these concoctions impressed me seriously. The average look on the pics turned out to be an honest, as-is appearance, which shows the absolute color fidelity of the paint without altering it. The additional wetness and definition is a great bonus. And then came the biggest surprise: it just beaded and beaded... This is a hard thing on my old daily driver, because the dry, permeable panels can release LSPs very quickly (think 2 months for a healthy Z2Pro/Z8 combo). The Vics provided absolutely reliable protection/durability. Even Collectors, which contains a bit more oils and less carnauba than Concours.



So, raw product performance is simply there; they are pleasant to apply/smell/touch and work with.



Chaos and Mayhem don't have any scent in them, but that's not a shortcoming IMO. This poly-enhanced duo has a bit more in-your-face type of visual punch, as they agreeably adjust the visual impression with an even more pronounced wetness/brightness factor and this can alienate those who want the old-fashioned optical truth.



There is a certain way I think of Victoria waxes. For example when you have a pristine, original classic car, the Concours will make it look just right; not over-restored, but absolutely authentic. However, when you have a beater which is not soo modern any more, but still not a youngtimer in the classic sense, the Chaos will make it more contemporary than it is with its flashier approach.



I am picky enough to find an average or underperforming product in basically every product line/brand. Luckily, the Victoria Wax line is one of the rare exceptions. So as Paul said, top of the tree for me...
 
Totally agree with your review, I did a acura blakhawk black pearl with chaos and it was really reflective in your face! Have you found more durability when layering 2 or more coat or 1 will gives the same amount of durability? I tried vic red 3 times and always did 2 coat, I'm scared that 1 coat might not be enoguht to last 3-4 months.



BTW, IMO, a wax that last more than 3 months is awsome, in this range, I think about WG Fuzion, Vic Red and dp maxwax. Just did a solid black 2007 997 TT this morning with fuzion, more glossy than vic red ( did a 50\50 comparaison)
 
No wonder, as Fuzion is a synthetic-dominant wax.



As for layering the Vics, I usually do 2 coats, but sometimes one is sufficient to be surprisingly good.
