A Comprehensive History about SWISSVAX – High Performance Car Care Handmade in Switzerland

SWISSVAX is a unique automotive care system consisting of natural washing, cleaning, feeding and protecting products. Like many great products, the company’s waxes were originally designed around the kitchen table and mainly for personal use as the products on the market did not meet with the highly sophisticated requirements of the Anwanders. The old Anwander chemist shop was the original laboratory as well as production site for the first jars of “Antikwachs” (Antique Wax) – a formula developed in the late 19th century for precious antiques and lacquers. The concours carnauba waxes for automobiles were originally only created for the private use of Hans Anwander, grandfather and founder of the company.

From these humble beginnings of those first precious jars of Antikwachs, the Anwander family’s passion for colours, lacquers, paints and waxes has taken them far.

For over three generations, the original formula has been modified and perfected through extensive research and testing.

Each SWISSVAX product was and still is blended and poured exclusively by hand in Switzerland. The rare, natural ingredients used in SWISSVAX products, are amongst the most expensive and luxurious ever introduced for automotive care products. There are quite simply no compromises when it comes to the pursuit of the ultimate wax and automotive car system. We invite you to try SWISSVAX for yourself and see why its products are famous amongst car enthusiasts all over the world.

Part of its success is what we call the Swissvax secret:

• SWISSVAX contains no petrochemical solvents or abrasives, so it is safe for all types of paint finish, including both new clear coats and classic lacquers. The waxes are very easy to apply and will not leave any white residue or build up along seams or crevices.
• SWISSVAX waxes have a carnauba wax content ranging between 30% to 60% by volume, some 5 to 10 times greater than the industry standard. The carnauba used is rare grade one from Brazil. It is the world’s purest, hardest and most transparent natural wax. This gives both greater protection and increased depth of gloss.

• SWISSVAX uses nutritive oils of coconut, banana and cinnamon to name only a few to replace the oils originally found in your vehicles paint finish. They do not contain any harsh chemicals or abrasives. In fact, it is this exclusive formula that creates a glow that goes far beyond the normal perception of shiny. This is the SWISSVAX advantage, science and nature in harmony!
• Unlike ordinary polishes SWISSVAX waxes do not contain any abrasives. Swissvax waxes are available for every type of car paint finish. They are equally effective on old lacquers as on modern water-based paints. The system consists of 2 components: A cleaning wax oil and a wax. SWISSVAX is very easy to apply and will not leave any white residue or build up along seams or in bodywork crevices. An ordinary “polish” simply polishes a paint surface shiny while the lower layers of paint get dryer and “starves”. SWISSVAX restores valuable oils of the original paint finish. These essential oils, such as cinnamon, avocado and vanilla, used as carriers for the wax, give these products their wonderful aromas and create a swirl-free gloss. In fact it is this exclusive formula which creates a glow that goes beyond normal perceptions of “shiny”.
• With the Swiss reputation for excellence of quality and precision, you can be assured of the authenticity of the product. Every product for sale is guaranteed to be genuine merchandise, created and packaged in Switzerland by Anwander & Co. AG as the original and unique manufacturer. Each container carries a registered trademark, which authenticates that the contents are formulated to a precise blend of ingredients that are crafted to the highest of standards of quality, safety and performance.
