<p>Swissvax is a car-wax manufacturer based in Switzerland&period; They focus mainly on creating car wax with the highest standards with the best ingredients and actively support an exclusive feel about their brand and products&period; Swissvax can also be known under Swizol&comma; Swissöl&comma; Swissol or Swizöl&period; It should not be confused with the manufacturer&colon; Zymöl&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Because the information provided by Swissvax to write this page is still absent&comma; the contents of their company website was used to fill this page&period; Due to circumstances with Zymöl it is unclear what information is correct&period; There are different reports on the history of both brands&period; As an unpartial group&comma; we decided to use the information as its supplied by the manufacturer&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Swissvax history<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>Swissvax is a complete care system for cars&period; It comprises an interrelated range of cleaning&comma; washing and care products&period;<br &sol;>&NewLine;Like many unique products&comma; these too were originally manufactured on a small-scale&comma; &&num;8220&semi;kitchen table&&num;8221&semi; basis&period; The old Anwander chemist&&num;8217&semi;s in Zurich served as both the laboratory and the workshop for the first tins of &&num;8220&semi;Antikwachs&&num;8221&semi;&comma; using an old wax formulation for antique furniture and lacquer&period; Since those first precious tins of &&num;8220&semi;Antikwachs&&num;8221&semi;&comma; the Anwander family has devoted itself to producing paints&comma; lacquers and waxes for three generations&period; The natural car waxes were originally produced solely for the personal use of grandfather and company founder Hans Anwander&period; Over the years&comma; the formulation was progressively adapted to customer and environmental requirements and to technological changes&period;<br &sol;>&NewLine;Today the products are still made in their wax production facility exclusively by hand&comma; and the tins are individually filled&period; The high-grade&comma; complex formulations do not lend themselves to large-scale industrial production&period; Compromise is just not compatible with their passionate commitment to producing the very best waxes and care products&period; They invite you to experience the waxes that make Swissvax world famous&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Distinction<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>Unlike ordinary finishes&comma; Swissvax waxes contain no abrasives and can be applied to all paint surfaces&comma; even old nitrocellulose lacquers&comma; modern water-based paint systems and &&num;8220&semi;nano paints&&num;8221&semi;&period; Swissvax uses two components&colon; cleansing oil and wax&period; The waxes are easy and pleasant to apply and leave no residues on rubber seams or in crevices&period;<br &sol;>&NewLine;Carnauba is the world&&num;8217&semi;s hardest&comma; purest&comma; most transparent and also most expensive natural wax&period; It is obtained from the upper side of the leaves of the &&num;8220&semi;Copernicia prunifera&&num;8221&semi;&comma; a fan palm native to Brazil&comma; and is graded according to colour and clarity&period; The highest quality is classified as rare grade one carnauba and is used in their waxes&period; The level of shine increases with the percentage of carnauba used in the wax formulation&period; While conventional car waxes have a carnauba content of between 3 and 5&percnt;&comma; Swissvax formulations contain between 30 and 76&percnt; by volume &lpar;one of the highest concentrations available on the market&rpar;&period;<br &sol;>&NewLine;Unlike ordinary polishes&comma; which simply polish a paint surface to a shine while the lower layers of paint get dryer and &&num;8220&semi;starve&&num;8221&semi;&comma; the Swissvax carnauba formulations&comma; enriched with passion fruit&comma; orange&comma; avocado and vanilla oils&comma; restore a deep shine to the paintwork&period; The result is a deeper&comma; unique &&num;8220&semi;wet look&&num;8221&semi; that so appeals to collectors and car enthusiasts the world over&period;<br &sol;>&NewLine;Carnauba waxes as such&comma; however&comma; are nothing new&period; As early as the nineteenth century&comma; waxes containing 100&percnt; carnauba wax were being manufactured and applied&period; Their disadvantage was their poor durability&comma; as 100&percnt; pure carnauba wax can simply be rubbed away with the fingers&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Swissvax different approach<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>The Swissvax secret lies in the extraordinarily long-lasting carnauba wax formulations&comma; which are created in a manufacturing process using double-walled microparticles that lasts several htheirs – known as &&num;8220&semi;microencapsulation&&num;8221&semi;&period; The surface morphology and the composition of the microparticles can be studied under an electron microscope or with a Ftheirier transform infrared spectroscope &lpar;FTIR&rpar;&period; Results have shown that both concentration content and morphology greatly depend on the wax composition&comma; the protective colloid&comma; the external polymer shell and the organic solvent&comma; which is what in fact makes the wax soluble&period; The thermophysical characteristics of the waxes are strongly determined by the synthesis conditions&comma; which is why other manufacturers have not so far managed to imitate the long-term qualities of their waxes&period;<br &sol;>&NewLine;Switzerland&&num;8217&semi;s reputation for quality and precision is reflected in their products&period; For over three generations the people at Swissvax have been committed car lovers and collectors&period; their unique products do not have to meet either sales targets or production budget constraints&period; This has allowed Swissvax to become what it stands for today&colon; high-value care by perfectionists for perfectionists&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Contacting Swissvax<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>Swissvax has a <a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;swissvax&period;com&sol;" title&equals;"Swissvax company website" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noopener noreferrer">company website<&sol;a>&comma; is active on several detailing fora&comma; have their own Facebook page and can be found on Youtube and Instagram&period; They can sometimes also be found at certain detailing events&comma; although this is sometimes done by resellers&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
