Hi, does anyone have experience,with the three victoria waxes,crusin collectors,and concours. I would like to know, how they compare, in looks to swissol and zymol waxes, specificaly zymol destiny,do they create great depth of colour, trueness,colour enhancement,etc.I would be gratefull for any feedback,thanks in advance william.:howdy
 
The VW Voncours is a very nice wax. It's not as "clear" as some of the other paste waxes I've used, but it has a very nice carnauba glow to it. It goes on and off easily. The VW people are also very nice to deal with. I feel that it does a good job of hiding minor imperfections as well. Sorry I can't comapre it to the waxes you mentioned, as I have no experience with them. I can say that the VW stuff I have used is pretty nice and I don't think you'd go wrong if that's what you decided to use.

There are a few threads on Victoria Wax here. Some about the waxes, some about the other stuff they sell. Overall, it seems VW is a good deal. Not really much in the way of direct comparisons to Zymol etc. though.
Of the stuff I've tried, I've liked them all. (I haven't done any direct comparisons either.) The beading with the red wax lasted over a month for me, and the red one isn't even considered VW's "durable" wax.
 
Well I just placed and order for the 3oz (half size) of each wax to give them a try. Ill tel everyone know how it goes. I am very excited so will c how it works out
 
They used to be a sponsor here some time back and I thought that a lot of people took advantage of their specials but I guess those people don't post regularly that much anymore. Overall if memory serves me right, they were good products and they are to be used with your hands I think. Plus they are made in Canada for those of you looking for a local wax supplier.

Wow. If your experience is anyhting like mine, you'll be set with paste waxes for a while. :) I have used the Concours Wax several times, and it still looks like a new container of wax. It seems to go a long way.

That wax won't last me 2 long. I have 5 cars to do on a regular basis(family) plus I get some friends rides so I'm sure it will only last a month or so. But hey it's going to be fun. So I placed my order and got an e-mail, they were great at VW. So Thank you to them. Also they told me of a place in Calgary who sells it, 2 clean, (which I went to before I learned to detail) so I plan on heading over there soon and buying some other prodcuts. Any suggestions of what I should buy?
 
Buy all three carnaubas, their QD (slick!), and Super Soap, which is a terrific shampoo. The Lite Cleanse is excellent as well, and they have BIG sea sponges!
 
I will second their QD. It is a very nice compliment to a finish protected by their wax.

According to the labeling, the Lite Cleanse supposedly sets up the car's finish for the wax (by leaving something behind). I don't have it here in front of me or anything, but I do remember it saying something to that effect. It does a nice job of cleaning minor stains & such as well.
 
Yep. Nice QD (I even did a review of it!) and nice, slick soap. Very easy gliding action, lots of suds.
 
I'll have to go pick some of those things up. I finally found the place and went in. I bought myself 2 clay bars. Wow are they ever inexpensive. They were 2, 4 oz bars for 20 bucks canadian. I got an e-mail saying to hold off because there was something special in my order so once it comes I'll have to go to 2 clean and pick some stuff up. I really want to try that qd so I'm sure I'll pick some up. I'm not sure I need more soap but hey I'll probably get some too lol. But I'll do full reviews on everything after I use it. I'm really excited these products look amazing so we'll see.

I suppose I should retract this statement as I looked at my bottle of Lite Cleanse last night and didn't see what I was talking about. I read it somewhere I know, but I'm just not sure where. I'm sure it's not on the labeling though. Sorry about that.

Theres the web site. What I get from it is that you don't need to use it but you should. Kinda like using the hd cleanse by zymol. It probably has something to do with the high carnauba content(although that's just speculation) but ya I get what you're saying. I'm sure I'll end up buying some to try it
 
I did a review on Victoria Wax awhile back. If you look up my threads you will find my finding/s.I did a Cruising Wax thread and a Red Wax thread. If I remeber correctly the Red Wax thread was more thorough.
