My Ride: 2006 E60 M5
all option (except soft close doors)
I recently switched from Zaino to Swissvax Concorso and am trying some Zymol Ital (a little easer to apply) these are both being used with their respective cleaner (Swissvax cleaner and Zymol HD Cleanse). When I'm done with the Ital wax I will be switching to a wax that I can apply without using my bear hands. I'll be looking at CHemical Guys 5050 Connoisseurs Paste, Ps1S 100% Carnauba, but I will still use Swissvaz cleaners as the base over polished surfaced. I am using Menzerna polishes when needed and I clay my M5 monthly as well as wax it twice monthly.

) And Phil (Pyiu) at detailer domain has tested P21s 100% while ago and he says it is not worth that price tag.Waxing twice a month sounds like will overkill the wax (unlike zaino which can be layering), i am no expert but i am sure it is too much if you wax twice a month (Especailly Concorso is quite durable)
