It has surprising durability and longevity, and ease of application often lacking in a car wax with such a high carnauba content. Add to that superb water repellency (hydrophobicity) and amazing water beading as just a couple of the outstanding features of this wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crystal Rock\u2019s high content of carnauba is a whopping 76% (by volume) of No.1 grade Brazilian Ivory Carnauba, one of the highest carnauba content waxes on the market. What that then gives is a wax that is truly beautiful, with a rich, velvety finish, along with remarkable shine and gloss that defies the eyesight.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_8abd5b-c3 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_8abd5b-c3\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swisswax-Crystal-Rock-Golf-R-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-57\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swisswax-Crystal-Rock-Golf-R-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swisswax-Crystal-Rock-Golf-R-2-599x399.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swisswax-Crystal-Rock-Golf-R-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swisswax-Crystal-Rock-Golf-R-2-767x511.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swisswax-Crystal-Rock-Golf-R-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swisswax-Crystal-Rock-Golf-R-2-788x525.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You could almost dive into the depth of gloss this wax imparts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take all those qualities and you have an absolute winner of a wax suitable for use year-round on all paint colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, it might not quite seem to be the case of being the best car wax in the world \u2013 especially if that first glance is price and an average price point is one of your overriding criteria for a wax to secure top slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is by no means the most expensive wax on the market, but this is a &#8220;high-end&#8221; wax with a high-end price tag to match! Retailing in the region of \u00a3900 for 200ml or \u00a3250 for 50ml, it\u2019s not a &#8220;value&#8221; wax in the normal sense of the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what do you get for your money, and is it worth the hefty price tag? A resounding Yes is my answer, and I\u2019ll tell you why.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_aa3afd-1d, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_aa3afd-1d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_aa3afd-1d\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_aa3afd-1d mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_aa3afd-1d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_aa3afd-1d\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_aa3afd-1d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_aa3afd-1d\">The best car wax in the world &#8211; process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How did I come to the conclusion that Swissvax Crystal Rock is the best car wax in the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I looked at and tested its performance, in real-world conditions, across several crucial criteria that I apply to any wax tested and observed and rated it accordingly against each one. Here are my criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_ac1ae9-f1, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_ac1ae9-f1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_ac1ae9-f1\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_ac1ae9-f1 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_ac1ae9-f1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_ac1ae9-f1\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_ac1ae9-f1 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_ac1ae9-f1\">Ease of application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A very important consideration when deciding what makes the best wax. If the application is too problematic, then you may be less likely to pick the pot up as your wax of choice, and it could end up being an expensive ornament sat on a shelf rather than your go-to wax, and that would render it pretty pointless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Application falls into three notable stages \u2013 applying the wax, the hazing time of the wax on the paint, and buffing the wax off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hazing time is the time the wax needs to be on the paintwork in order to bond before the excess is removed, and this can be instrumental in ease of application. Hazing times can be affected by temperature and humidity. Layering of wax coats is also a consideration here. Is the wax easy to layer? Application assessment assumes any wax being tested is applied to a well-prepared base and perfectly clean paintwork.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_adfac9-03, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_adfac9-03[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_adfac9-03\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_adfac9-03 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_adfac9-03[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_adfac9-03\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_adfac9-03 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_adfac9-03\"><strong>Finish and paint enhancement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key deciding criteria for a wax. To what effect does it enhance the paint? How much shine or gloss does it impart? Is depth enhanced? Will metallic or pearl flake be maximised? Is the paint clarity shown to its full potential? These are all things I look at in the finish of any wax.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_a9dc51-57, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_a9dc51-57[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_a9dc51-57\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_a9dc51-57 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_a9dc51-57[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_a9dc51-57\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_a9dc51-57 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_a9dc51-57\">Durability\/longevity\/lifespan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another key performance criteria. How does the protective capability of the wax fare under daily use conditions (in all weathers) and under normal washing regimes, assuming use of gentle shampoo? Does the protection last under those same conditions? Will the wax coating repel dirt and grime?<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_206355-e8, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_206355-e8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_206355-e8\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_206355-e8 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_206355-e8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_206355-e8\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_206355-e8 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_206355-e8\">Hydrophobicity, Sheeting and Beading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The behaviour of water on the wax is particularly important in order for the wax coat to repel water and any water borne dirt away from the paintwork. Also of worthy consideration is how the wax sheets water off the paintwork at the open-ended hose rinse stage of car washing, as better sheeting equals less standing water on the paint which results in less towel drying required, which is always a stage at which swirls can be inflicted on the paintwork. Something to be avoided at all costs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beading is how water droplets, usually in the form of raindrops, sit on the waxed surface. The better quality the wax, the higher, tighter and more \u2018pinched\u2019 the beads.

The richness, depth and gloss is something to behold! It delivers outstanding wet-look levels of shine and gloss, and a very rich depth to paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike some waxes, it doesn\u2019t gain its quality of finish at the expense of the clarity of the paint, instead paint is enhanced to its full potential. It simply makes the very best of the paint.On metallic or pearl paint, the flake is enhanced to its max potential \u2013 \u2018flake pop\u2019 as it\u2019s often referred to in detailing circles. And does Crystal Rock pop the flake!

I have never come across a wax that is such a dream and pleasure to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a soft paste, it\u2019s so easy to work with and getting a thin even layer onto a foam wax applicator to transfer onto the paint takes minimum effort. Full-size pots make swiping onto an applicator easier than the smaller sample size pots but, not a big issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swissvax themselves recommend that the wax is applied by hand, first warming in the palms then spreading across the paint with hands, but aside from a rather nice tactile way to apply, I see no real benefit to this method over application on a wax applicator, and in fact think that it probably uses far more product than necessary in the process, so my preference is to apply with a good quality foam applicator.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_98b356-5e .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_98b356-5e\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/23759856252_3663cc8b2b_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/23759856252_3663cc8b2b_o.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/23759856252_3663cc8b2b_o-599x399.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/23759856252_3663cc8b2b_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/23759856252_3663cc8b2b_o-767x511.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/23759856252_3663cc8b2b_o-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/23759856252_3663cc8b2b_o-788x525.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The wax, when getting towards the end of a pot, can have a tendency to get a little \u2018grainy\u2019 but making sure the wax is warmed to room temperature and stirring it with fingertips to manipulate it remedies this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hazing time of this wax is something that really sets it apart from other waxes. Unlike many waxes, it can have a very long hazing time should you wish it to. Anything from 15 minutes to several hours, the latter should only be considered if the car is under cover in a dust free environment for the duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One great advantage to the long hazing time is it allows you to wax the whole car first in one go and then buffing off can all be done afterwards. Most waxes with shorter hazing times require a sequence of applying to a few panels a time, hazing and buffing off then moving on to next panels, to avoid wax drying on the paintwork. This is really not an issue with Crystal Rock and is a major bonus in application. Crystal Rock is also a wax that is great for layering upon itself.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_126b00-63, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_126b00-63[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_126b00-63\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_126b00-63 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_126b00-63[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_126b00-63\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_126b00-63 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_126b00-63\">Durability and longevity \u2013&nbsp;4\/5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Crystal Rock has a manufacturer\u2019s stated durability of between 6-12 months. That\u2019s quite a broad range and my experience of it that it\u2019s much more realistic to expect a lifespan of 3-4 good months from a single coat. Not the longest lifespan of a wax but decent enough and good by Swissvax standards.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[wpsm_box type=&#8221;info&#8221; float=&#8221;none&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;]<br \/>\nTop tip &#8211; If you layer the wax up, maybe 2 or even 3 layers, applied 24 hours between coats, the length of durability will increase.<br \/>\n[\/wpsm_box]<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_550942-9a, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_550942-9a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_550942-9a\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_550942-9a mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_550942-9a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_550942-9a\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_550942-9a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_550942-9a\">Hydrophobicity and Beading \u2013 5\/5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Crystal Rock is a top wax in all areas of hydrophobicity, sheeting and beading. It repels water very effectively indeed. It also sheets incredibly well which as explained earlier makes for less standing water on the car. Water or rain beading with Crystal Rock is amazing, lovely tight proud beads that are a delight to behold when the inevitable raindrops come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be begging for rain just to see those beads!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_4af758-4c .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_4af758-4c\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/22372199391_51bff4bd3e_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/22372199391_51bff4bd3e_o.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/22372199391_51bff4bd3e_o-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/22372199391_51bff4bd3e_o-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/22372199391_51bff4bd3e_o-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/22372199391_51bff4bd3e_o-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/22372199391_51bff4bd3e_o-788x591.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_eec0f3-73 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_eec0f3-73\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/40025540682_3bf5222146_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/40025540682_3bf5222146_o.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/40025540682_3bf5222146_o-598x160.jpg 598w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/40025540682_3bf5222146_o-300x80.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/40025540682_3bf5222146_o-766x205.jpg 766w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/40025540682_3bf5222146_o-1024x274.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/40025540682_3bf5222146_o-788x210.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_3e9b32-8e .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_3e9b32-8e\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26406266449_4c775fe1f6_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26406266449_4c775fe1f6_o.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26406266449_4c775fe1f6_o-599x399.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26406266449_4c775fe1f6_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26406266449_4c775fe1f6_o-767x511.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26406266449_4c775fe1f6_o-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26406266449_4c775fe1f6_o-788x525.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da5380-7b, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da5380-7b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_da5380-7b\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da5380-7b mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da5380-7b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_da5380-7b\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_da5380-7b wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_da5380-7b\">Value for money \u2013&nbsp;3\/5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Crystal Rock is an expensive wax. But a little goes a long way and for each coat only a very thin layer is required for a top result. A 50ml sample pot will give a fair few full coats and when measured like that the value for money starts to look a little more palatable, especially getting a few months lifespan out of each application. A 200ml pot will last a long long time!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_f7c553-99, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_f7c553-99[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_f7c553-99\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_f7c553-99 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_f7c553-99[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_f7c553-99\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_f7c553-99 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_f7c553-99\">Packaging \u2013&nbsp;4\/5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not the highest thing on my list when it comes to choosing a wax as it\u2019s what\u2019s in the pot or bottle that counts, but as packaging goes, as with all Swissvax products, the packaging is classy, simple and very recognizably Swissvax with gloss black and red livery.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_d39ce8-9a .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_d39ce8-9a\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26989745214_def329e927_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26989745214_def329e927_o.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26989745214_def329e927_o-599x424.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26989745214_def329e927_o-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26989745214_def329e927_o-767x543.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26989745214_def329e927_o-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/26989745214_def329e927_o-788x557.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Swissvax waxes come in double walled pots.

Delicious! A heady waft of tropical flowers on the breeze. Doesn\u2019t add anything to the performance of the wax, but boy does it smell gorgeous when you\u2019re using it.

The price tag warranted something that maybe only professional detailers would be able to work with, but that couldn&#8217;t be further from the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the high carnauba content in the wax, it&#8217;s actually very playable. You can take it from the tub in your hand and rub it around with ease. In fact, Paul Dalton, the brains behind the wax, sometimes uses this method for application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, I&#8217;m much more comfortable with a wax applicator pad than my hands, so this was my method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Make sure your paint is totally clean and free from contaminants. I&#8217;d recommend to use a paint cleanser prior to use. Swissvax recommend their Cleaner Fluid, which works really well to allow the wax to bond to the paint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply the wax the pad, making sure that you get full coverage. You don&#8217;t don&#8217;t want bare parts of the pad to come into contact with the paint as this could cause scratching. Top tip &#8211; Less is more. Don&#8217;t overload your pad as it&#8217;s not needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use straight or vertical lines to apply. Take your time here and make sure you cover all parts of the car. I started with just one panel at a time, but as you get used to the properties of the wax, you can start to do several and when you&#8217;ve dialled in, you can go and do the whole car.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leave to haze for around 10-15 minutes. To be honest, you can leave this longer if you want. Dalton actually states that you can even leave it over night if you want.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buff off with a plush microfibre towel in straight or vertical motions. You shouldn&#8217;t need to work too hard here as it&#8217;s easily removed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stand back and admire.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/izCldrcPWFc?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_f6d2d3-15, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_f6d2d3-15[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_f6d2d3-15\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_f6d2d3-15 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_f6d2d3-15[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_f6d2d3-15\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_f6d2d3-15 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_f6d2d3-15\">Products to use alongside Swissvax Crystal Rock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst I&#8217;m a firm believer that you are able to mix and match products to work with a product, when you&#8217;re forking out the kind off money you need to for Crystal Rock, I&#8217;ve tended to stick with the manufacturers recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, I&#8217;m a big fan of Swissvax and I think their range of products is about as good as you&#8217;re going to find. Yes, you will need to shell out a few more quid for them, but it&#8217;s quality is almost unrivalled.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_631ea6-c3, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_631ea6-c3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_631ea6-c3\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_631ea6-c3 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_631ea6-c3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_631ea6-c3\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_631ea6-c3 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_631ea6-c3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/tr67QeN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Swissvax Cleaner Fluid<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The cleaner fluid is a must have IMO. You need to make sure that your paint is as clean as possible to get the best results for your wax. The fluid isn&#8217;t cheap, but a little goes a long way. I&#8217;ve used it maybe 5 or 6 times now on a full car and I&#8217;ve still well over half a bottle left. If you break it down per application, it actually offers good value, especially for a premium product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\"  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B00HYW4EFE\" data-aawp-product-id=\"3675\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"prepmycar-21\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Swiz\u00f6l 1022510 Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Medium\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\" data-aawp-click-tracking=\"title\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\"\n           href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00HYW4EFE?tag=prepmycar-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Swiz\u00f6l 1022510 Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Medium\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/21Jb3CVb1TL.jpg\" alt=\"Swiz\u00f6l 1022510 Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Medium\"  \/>\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00HYW4EFE?tag=prepmycar-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Swiz\u00f6l 1022510 Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Medium\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Swiz\u00f6l 1022510 Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Medium        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>Swiz\u00f6l car care\u00a0\u2013\u00a0the original from Switzerland.<\/li><li>The world of ultimate vehicle care.<\/li><li>The highest manufacturing and quality standards.<\/li><\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--amazon rounded shadow aawp-button--icon aawp-button--icon-amazon-black\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00HYW4EFE?tag=prepmycar-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Check Price On Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Check Price On Amazon<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_419a5b-c7, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_419a5b-c7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_419a5b-c7\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_419a5b-c7 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_419a5b-c7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_419a5b-c7\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_419a5b-c7 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_419a5b-c7\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/gIzZFt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Swissvax Micro Fluffy Sealer Towel<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The microfibre towel from Siwssvax is another quality product.

A hybrid wax, it contains carnauba and a synthetic sealant which means it has a great balance of finish and durability. Easy on\/off application, with a short hazing time of between 5 and 10 minutes. The finish imparted is very impressive and it adds a superb depth to paint, darkens and gives superb gloss to the paintwork. It has a lifespan of up to 3 months with a regular washing regime. Performs impressively on water repellency (hydrophobicity) with lovely beading. Enhancement of metallic and pearl flake is good but not to the same degree as the Swissvax.
