I had mine done when new and the price included a re-application a year later with courtesy car for the day (which was a Panamera). Can’t compare with other ceramic coatings but I was happy with it. The advantage is that if there’s any warranty argument with Porsche about paint (unlikely, I suppose) they can’t object to the Swissvax.

Never ever have your car washed at a Dealership or have coatings applied. It takes a good day to correctly prepare the vehicle for the coating and, in the case of Ceramic Coating, 24 hours to cure. Just my opinion.

Thanks a lot for all these comments - I took out the Swissvax from the invoice and will get the coating done by a detailer. Soon is pick-up time, so much looking forward!

Good choice - and avoid Swissvax products full stop - they are garbage.

Having mine ceramic coated on 23rd April by a recommended local detailer using GTechniq products. Also bought a Race glaze water filter for final rinse when washing car.

I use race glaze as well, I don’t think it’s quite as good as drying your car but it’s a good alternative to water marks by doing nothing.

I still dry after the Race Glaze rinse but don't have to rush it like I used to because of hard water spots

My used Macan had Swissvax applied when new and, whilst the finish wasn’t up to a ceramic standard, IMHO, it has held up well. Also, I use the Swissvax tyre dressing, and I’m very pleased with the result.

I bought a pack of Swissvax products and have subsequently bought products from other vendors particularly chemical guys and the results have been vastly different. This isn’t just Swissvax isn’t the best bang for buck it’s not the best product at 4x the price.
