Pretty good
2months later, water still sheet well but doesn’t bead as much ( to be expected, usually if it sheet, it doesn’t bead much). Remember I told you the car had a tough time with the rain and tree fallout? It showed quite good when I saw my mirror were trying to turn grey (meaning there was oxidation and means that the wax isn’t protecting anymore)
I think everyone will agree that Shield should last more than 2 months. Same goes for 4x4. So maybe my environnement was just too tough for any wax. So I decide to redo the test shield Vs. 4x4 and I expect this time to last more than 2 months!
In front of the car it was visible but for some reason, I couldn’t capture it very well..
Shield side:
4x4:
See does debris stuck on the paint ? It took me 30 minutes to remove! Remember when I say the car went trough tough times lol!
Even IronX couldn’t do anything on them!
Tool used:
Can I say that Raceglaze pre-wax is easier to remove than cleaner fluid? Applied the same but way easier to remove, less grappy.
And here some water behaviour pictures:
And here’s the final picture after letting the wax cure 4 hours in the sun:
I actually applied shield on the rims, just for fun.
That it for the upgraded reviews!

Comme à chaque année, je fais mon detail intérieur et cette semaine c’était le temps de le faire!
J’ai voulu essayer la machine à vapeur. Donc ce detail est totalement fait à la vapeur avec du APC et un protecteur UV pour finir le tout.
Cluster poli :
Ici, j’ai utilise de petite brosse pour bien nettoyer dans les racoins:
Les tapis ont été fait à l’extracteur, par contre! Sorry about that :
Les tapis, mais pas le plancher:
Ça l’a fait une bonne job ici pour de la cochonnerie incrustés depuis un an.
Ensuite, j’ai voulu voir ce qu’elle pouvait faire pour un moteur : not bad, mais je dois encore perfectionner mon art avec cette machine.
Alors, voilà, mon alero a reçu le traitement intérieur /moteur/extérieur et est bonne pour une autre année. C’est simple entretenir un beau fini!

Donc c'est ça qui est ça! J'ai fait mon winter prep sur l'alero de couuuuuuurrssee!
Cette fois, pas de compris, jme gâte j'essaye ma cire, voir si elle est capable de durer pendant une hiver. Le test ultime, un hiver québécois haha.
J,aime particulièrement cette shot, elle montre bien la profondeur/glow que la cire peut donner.
Je le répète encore, mais je crois que ça vaux la peine. Voici une voiture qui a 10 ans et à passer 10 hiver québécois, j'ai commencer à la polir il y a 2 ans, 1x par année et voici, elle shine toujours autant que n'importe quel GM dans le showroom

I wanted to do a little review about 3 wax I had the opportunities to try. I had applied Zymol Vintage on my car 2 month ago. Then a friend of mine offered me 2 try 2 different waxes so I gladly took his offer. The 2 were : Definitive wax Show and Chemical Guys Lava.
What I did is polish with Swissvax paint cleanse the left side and driver side and left the center untouched.
What I can say about Show: Slight fruity smell. To be honest, I much prefer the smell of Number one and Club edition. Texture is also softer than the 2 other waxes but not as soft as Vintage or lava ( lol!). Applied super easily, spread very oily and buffed easily. After 1 month, I can say the beading is way better with Show than lava and a bit better than 2 month old Vintage.
Lava: smelled great and similar to V7 spray sealant. Texture is different than anything else, its not liquid like a liquid wax , its really a pudding.. problem is that its really easy to over-apply it and waste the product which in turns also make it harder to buff out. I can also say that after 1 month sheeting/beading is almost dead. Maybe I didn’t get the application right but for 80$, I was not happy with the performance.. I wouldn’t pay more than 25$ for this, but then again, I’m ony judging this with one application and one half panel..
so yeah.. left side is driver side, and right side is.. ( duhh) passenger side.
Show beading is quite good:
I couldn’t really complete the test because I went on with my winter prep detail, but I would say definitive wax and Vintage won that review. Right now, my winter prep detail is still showing beading after 6 months which is fantastic because it does exactly what it had to do ; protection your paint all winter long while improving the gloss of your paint at the same time.
