Victoria Wax

I don't know how to hyper-link, but if you go to the www.victoriawax.com website they tell you to apply that way (like Zymol).

If you go to Autopia and search for victoria wax there aren't that many responses, so you should be able to see the threads.

I think Anthony O had said that he did the "hands only" applications a few days for just about everything and his hands were hurtin'.
 
i read it on the prestige website.... heres what it said.....


With the higher wax content, an easy application and buffing technique was needed. That dilemma was solved by the application of the wax by using your bare hands — using the warmth of your hands to spread and massage in a very thin coat of the product. Applying to small sections at a time and hand massaging in the wax starts the bonding process quickly, thus giving an almost instant layer of protection. The wax spreads easily, smoother, and goes farther when properly applied — meaning you will use very little of the product with each application




but mr anthony did say that he used a foam app......
 
I read the post by Anthony Orosco and he does mention that he tried with his bare hand but ended up doing the majority with a foam applicator.
 
yea, thats exactly what i read!!!! but we shall see, maybe ill really be doing a "hands on" job. i realyl dont like the idea of getting hands dirty however.....
 
I was just wondering if how long it took for you guys to get the victoria wax to your front door after ordering? Thanks in advance~!
I ordered mine a week ago, but still no news. And the guy doesn't have any tracking info. :( I live in Maryland, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
 
Kai, How did you pay for it? I'm going to order 2 jars and was thinking of a moneyorder. I was told the site might not be secured.
 
rabbi,
I called and paid by credit card. He actually shipped out the wax the very same day, but just have no tracking information. Not the best move. I don't exactly have the most faith in the USPS. Maybe Canadian postal service is a lot better?
 
It usually take stuff 2 weeks to get to me from the States. It doesn't seem to matter if it's from NY, FL, Cali, or somewhere in between. Also, I've heard the border is getting a little pickier lately, so it could take a little longer.

For some reason he thought it'd take 5 days or sooner. :(
Maybe before 911...
 
I placed my order on Aug 6 and received it on Aug 12. I do live in Canada though. I placed my order over the net and used my credit card, probably not the brightest move but oh well.
 
I mailed DAVID a money order a week ago.I was told by a few people don't hold your breath waiting for the item.It is possible it could be at the border waiting for clearence for a long as 10 days.That is the only hold up once it gets clearence its only a few days for delivery.I also believe that because of the games they are working extra to check all packages.If you were in a rush you could have bought it from the guy in OHIO but he is around $6 more money for 6OZ
 
Yeah I guess I should have a lower expectation, that way I won't be too excited...

BTW, that guy in Ohio emailed me back and told me he's not in the wax business anymore. That should be the same guy someone else mentioned once before...

Well, it's now...."was". He doesn't sell the wax anymore.
 
Ooohooo~~!!!
Got the Victoria Red Concours Wax today!! I just tried out our straight black Benz that has been sitting in the garage waiting for the wax. ;)
The first impression of the packaging reminds me of some of the Zymol waxes. The smell is great! It's very different from other banana coconut or the pina colada smell. This is more like the Very BERRY Strawberry Daiquiri kind of smell. I abosultely love it.
So I decided to try it on the other side of the benz with only UPPx1+NXTx1 (of course went through clay, UGE, IP, and FP already), and compares to the other side with same everything but with additional 1 layer of PS. I gotta say...the method of applying by bare hands reminds me a lot of the more pricey zymol lines. I tried with my palm at first, then tried to even out the application with the new Lake County red finishing pads. DON'T LET IT DRY! Or it would be like the zymols, needs more elbow grease to buff it off w/ MF. It's not like PS or TS that you could go over half of the car or the whole car then come back to buff it off with ease.
The result is pretty impressive. It gives out the very similar reflection as UPP and a bit like the P21S, and it has a slight wetter look than PS...at least on a black car. And to be honest, at the very same price as PS, I expect nothing less. Only down side I found was it doesn't cover up light scratches as well as PS, but that's very insignificant kind of difference anyway.
Now I just need to take the car out for a spin and report back. ;) Hopefully, it won't last as long as Zymol and attract all sorts insects and dust.
For the money you pay, it's a very good alternative to PS..and a slight change of pace. :P It will require more effort to buff it off, but I have not seen any hazing or streaking like some other waxes.
But even if it doesn't last as long, it's not really an issue for me as I go through these detailing processes every other weekend. :D Or maybe their other type of waxes would last longer?

Would I switch from PS over to VCW (Victoria Concour Wax, hey I just invented a ACRONYM!)? Not sure yet, but this wax is definitely up there with the big boys.


Oh, and doing it by hands were also suggested by Victoria wax guy b/c with foam applicators/pads, some of the solvent tend to get absorbed by the pads and might cause streaking after buffing it off.

Yeah...as I mentioned: "I tried with my palm at first, then tried to even out the application with the new Lake County red finishing pad."
I still used with my palm first before swapping out with finishing pad to lightly even out the surface...you can only do so much with bare hands. It's the best you work on smaller panels at a time and wipe down before it dries out. Or you would need to put more effort in buffing off the wax.
 
I tried my Victoria Concours Wax today just on a small section of the roof of my truck as I have more prep work to do before I apply to entire vehicle. I used my bare hand and found it very easy to apply but I will need more practice to get the application more even. I have not yet tried with a foam applicator but will just to see which method works best.
