Swissvax Concorso vs Blackfire/Souveran

what do you guys think in comparing these three products.

I have only used blackfire and am about to take the leap and buy Swissvax Concorso.

Was not really impressed with blackfire although my car needed a polish at the time I applied the Blackfire.

swissvax makes a product called Concorso I have never heard of concorsa?

but if you are talking about concorso i believe that you will see a big difference between concorso and blackfire.

what did you mean that you polished with blackfire?

oops

sorry about the typo on the swissvax name.

as far as the black fire polishing goes, I meant I did not do a polish touch up when I got the BF in the mail. I had hair scratches on the surface yet I still applied the BF wax because I was eager to see what all the hype was about.

what I found was a wax that does indeed look nice but is not durable, washes of real quick (say one run in the rain coming home from work).

just wanted to make sure that swissvax in in a league of its own next to blackfire. dont want to spend four times as much and get the same thing

its in a different league for sure but what I tell my customers is you get depth shine gloss, and decent protection from wax, if you want something durable go with a sealant.

menzerna FMJ, einszett glanz last steps like that will get you more protection.

lmk if that makes sense.

as well I would definitely polish out your car first.

stack

I wanted to go the route of stacking swissvax on top of FMJ after I have let FMJ cure for a few hours.

Is FMJ the shinniest most durable sealant out there?

was told it is between FMJ and Four Star.

Yeah Concorso and Blackfire are apples and oranges. I love my Concorso because it gives a really deep gloss and it's very durable to boot. The gloss fades after a few washes (as do most waxes) but the shine is still superb and outlasts the lot of them. I'm on 4 months and going strong with Concorso on a 599 GTB.
