Has anyone else used Concours R222 ?

I use it as a show wax and for the money i have never seen a wax give a better finish to the paint. Its glorious.

I use it, but not as often as some of my other waxes. It is an excellent wax indeed and is super easy to use (wipe on / wipe off). But as you probably already know, it doesn't have particular good longevity (which is fine if you don't mind topping it up every few weeks). It also doesn't have a nice scented smell like most other waxes do... so you can't lick your fingers between panels :P

Haha...

No,the longevity isnt great.. but i use it really as a wax that shows the paint off to its best.

It seems that that level of gloss and longevity just cant be achieved...

I have used Fusso,Symol,swissvax,Tac systems,Scholl concepts,Angel wax,chemical guys,Collonite and im sure loads that i cant remember..

All excel at some things...lol..

to be fair the colly 915 is lasting a lot better than harley, its still beading very well after 5 or 6 weeks and probably 4 maintenance washes but not sure how much longer it will last

Colli 476 is renowned for its great looks, ease of use and longevity. Don’t think it would win any prizes for smell though. It’s the one wax that I recommend to people who don’t like to wax (often)

👍476 has been my go to for the last few years, got through my tin and decided to try something else.. Longevity is outstanding on 476 an tbf shine is good too, if I was only ever going to use one wax 476s would be the one for sure

I'm a recent summer purchaser of fusso wax. I must admit the water repellency of the fusso is simply amazing. My historical car waxes comprised of years and years of using Mer and autoglym products and waxes. For protection of your paintwork, this would definitely take some beating, but and its a big but, I would say for shine there are better products out there. Pound for pound, this would be an amazing base wax for protection. Finding another wax for out and out shine would be a chat for another day once ive used up all the autoglym extra gloss protection.
