New Victoria Wax Test - Chaos
Got a chance to try out a sample of the new Vics Chaos today. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. What I will say is that if you follow the directions for application/removal, there isnt another wax in my collection that comes off this easy except maybe the original P21S. It does drag a bit going on as its quite soft. I used a thin foam applicator to apply this today. I personally find that for applying waxes, the thinner the applicator the better. Even after applying the wax to one entire side before removing, it came off as easy as your favorite sealant. I couldn't get the grin off my face. It was a bit sticky on the second coat as I applied it to the whole car before removing. I had to, it says not to on the jar! I used a short nap towel to remove the wax. The wetness and depth was very noticeable even after just one coat. Victoria Wax says 3 quick coats should last 6 months. I was able to apply this wax to the entire car in about 10 minutes. You can add layers immediately, no waiting. Overall, this is a very nice wax to use. I prefer hard waxes, but the amount of drag when applying this was not annoying and it comes off so easy its ridiculous. I will be using this more in the future for sure. Please note, this is a sample and retail sizes are NOT available yet.

After washing and ready for the big debut


Washed with RaceGlaze today. Smells great. Very slick. Foams like crazy. Love it.


Interior dressed with Purple 9000. One of the only protectants I'll use on interiors.


After a coat of Purple 9000. Verrrrry matte finish.


Next two pics are after wash, no LSPs.




Next two are after base layer of Colli 845




Da da da da! Vics Chaos.


After one coat of Chaos








After two coats















As a bonus, here's a 40' motorcoach I did a wash and wax on yesterday. Sealed with Colli 845......by hand!

A few pics of the 845 drying






and completed. I will be going back on the next sunny day to apply another coat. :doh:

Did your hands fall off after the motorcoach? Or do you have Mr. Miyagi hands? :P

How much do you think the wax will be?

The wash and wax was $400 and the second coat of wax was an additional $200.

All depends on what you are trying to accomplish. The BH has very good durability with just one coat. You would need three coats of this to do the same, although its a lot easier to use. Only took about 6oz of Colli 845 to do the motorhome....twice.

You're not going to sell the wax separately?

Or the jar is $200?!

You misunderstood. I charged him $400 for the wash and wax and an additional $200 to apply the second coat. And yes, I do have waxes that are over $200 a jar.

Where can one purchase the scholl 9000 dressing? I’ve never seen it before but I love the finish.

Are you simply wiping (dusting) down the interior and then applying the 9000? Or are you using any type of “cleaner” first?

Typically I wipe the interior down first. Autoglym Interior Shampoo is my favorite. Its strong enough to clean but won't leave any detergent residue like some APCs can. You can get the Scholl 9000 in Norway - LOL!! I'm looking into bringing some in. I'll post on RS if or when I do.

Please let me know if you do. I general use a mothers or an armor all on my interiors, but I hate the shine style finish. Plastics need to be dull, not shiny.

We also carry 303, AG Vinyl and Rubber Care and Werkstat Prot which are all water based and very low sheen.
