Products Used in These Tutorials

Paint Rubber – Clay Bar Decontamination

With Swissvax products, you choose a paint care system that builds upon various steps for the best results in shine and protection.

Achieve deep cleaning of all paint surfaces with Swissvax Paint Rubber. The cleaning clay gently removes deposits like overspray, rust, and industrial fallout.

Application Paint Rubber

1. Wash and dry the vehicle thoroughly.

2. Spray Quick Finish on the surface and gently move the Paint Rubber back and forth with light pressure.

3. If the paint still doesn't feel smooth, repeat the process.

4. Treat the cleaned surface with Cleaner Fluid Regular and seal with Swissvax wax.

The Paint Rubber can be used until the entire clay is saturated with dirt particles.

Cleaner Fluids – Hand Polishing

To establish a good bond between the paint and Swissvax waxes, the paint should be treated with Cleaner Fluid Regular after washing and possibly Paint Rubber. This nourishing paint care solution works without abrasives and completely removes light scratches, tar, tree sap, or old wax. For stronger scratches, Cleaner Fluid Strong or Medium is recommended as a first step.

Application Cleaner Fluids

1. Wash and dry the vehicle thoroughly (possibly treat with Paint Rubber).

2. Apply Cleaner Fluid Regular generously with a cotton applicator in a cross-hatch pattern over an area such as the hood or both fenders until the surface is evenly nourished.

3. Do not allow Cleaner Fluid Regular to dry. Buff the still-wet fluid with a Micro-Fluffy microfiber cloth. Turn the cloth frequently. Please do not use other commercially available microfiber cloths, as there is a risk of scratches!

4. Same application for Cleaner Fluid Medium and/or Strong.

Carnauba Wax Application

The secret to a deep, mirror-like, and resistant paint surface lies in the handcrafted Swissvax waxes. Depending on your needs, you can choose between different types of waxes. The application process remains the same.

Application of universal & special waxes

1. Apply Swissvax wax with a Sponge Applicator or with the palm of your hand, creating an even wax film on the paint surface.

2. Let it sit for a few minutes, but do not let it dry.

3. Buff to a high gloss with a clean Micro-Fluffy. Keep turning the cloth.

4. Do not touch the paint surface for 3 hours and, when possible, place the vehicle in the sun after treatment. You will observe the gloss deepening over time.

5. If necessary, give the surface a quick wipe with a Micro-Polish.
