Exclamation Wax Test - The Looks Results!!

Just a quick thread folks to put up the results on the looks - full pictures and videos will come later once they have been uploaded (expect threads to be posted over the next two days )...

Okay: The results on looks alone are as follows:


These are the accurate scores:

1st: Swissvax Best of Show = 61pts
2nd: Collinite 915 = 56pts
3rd: ***** Royale = 48pts
4th: Autoglym HD Wax = 47pts
5th: Zaino Z2 = 46pts
6th: Raceglaze 55 = 42pts



I stress here that the above results are for this test, and should be taken in the fun that they are intended from the test, and purely represent the opinions of those there on the day. The results are not hard fact, but simply the opinions of those attending this meet seeing these particular cars.

More to follow...

Well done dave and a big slap on the back for all the effort you put in, how many turned up? interesting to see the most expensive wax on the planet (bar solaris but that's just silly and a limited production) was bottom.

Annoyingly I didn't get a picture of the Royale car. IMO, it was noticeably flatter in its finish than that of the BOS.

Being very inexperienced when it comes to LSP's I took the approach of talking a walk around them all as soon as I got there and picking my "favourite" from my first impression. The BOS was leagues ahead of everything else in this mornings bold sunlight. Even when it clouded over this afternoon it looked the best, albeit by not so much as before.

The Colly 915 has to be the giant-killer though. Again IMO, but it wasn't far off the BOS for me. Then when you take the price points into consideration it really is a top product.

I'd be a bit pissed if I'd spent £8000 on a certain something though!

I didn't fancy paying £7K for an LSP anyway

Collonite did well - not expensive either.

BoS might just be worth it.

Thank you to all involved.

Interesting results, shame the devil wax won though

Was the Zaino with one layer of Z2 or multiple layers, also did you not use any Vics Concours in the end (sorry not been keeping up on the threads)?

You've always gotta be careful



Glad it went to plan Dave,
