Which Wax for Which Car and Application?
Choosing the right wax for your vehicle is essential to protect the paintwork, maximize shine, and maintain the car’s value over the long term.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the products and their specific properties to help you find the perfect wax for your needs.
Wax Sealing – The Perfect Preparation
Before applying wax, thorough preparation is crucial. Wash your vehicle by hand with SWISSVAX Car Bath or use the SWISSVAX Hand Wash Collection. Clean the paint thoroughly with SWISSVAX Cleaner Fluid to ensure the wax adheres optimally. This preparation allows the wax to perform at its best by protecting the paint from environmental influences and achieving a long-lasting shine.
