Care for your Dream

SWISSVAX – This is how you care for dreams™

Wax manufacturing since 1930

Swissvax is a brand in the premium and luxury segment of automotive care with a high international presence and strong affinity among car enthusiasts worldwide. Swissvax is also the first choice of various premium car manufacturers to develop and produce high-quality care products for their brands.

Swissvax offers a complete care system for automobiles and yachts. It consists of washing, cleaning, care, and sealing components, all harmoniously coordinated.

Like many other unique products, these handcrafted items originally emerged from the family kitchen table. The old "Anwander" drugstore in Zurich was both the lab and the production site for the first cans of carnauba wax for cars and boats, initially made only for the personal use of the grandfather and company founder Hans Anwander.

These products are still exclusively handmade and filled can by can in our wax factory today. The high-quality formulations do not allow for industrial production. We make no compromises in our passion for creating the best waxes and care products. We invite you to experience the wax sensation that makes Swissvax so popular and famous worldwide.

Until 2009, Swissvax was also known as Swizöl.

The Difference

Unlike conventional polishes, Swissvax waxes contain no abrasives and can be applied to all types of paintwork: modern water-based paint systems, so-called nanocoatings, and even old nitrocellulose lacquers. Swissvax consists of two components: the pre-treatment Cleaner Fluid Regular and the carnauba wax. The waxes are easy and pleasant to apply and leave no white residues on rubber or edges.

Carnauba is the hardest, purest, most transparent, and also the most expensive natural wax in the world. It is obtained from the leaves of the Brazilian fan palm "Copernica prunifera" and classified by color and clarity. The highest quality is classified as rare Grade One Carnauba and is used in our waxes. The gloss level increases the more carnauba is in a formulation. While conventional car waxes contain 3% to 5% carnauba wax, Swissvax formulations with 30% to 76% vol. % contain one of the highest concentrations available on the market.

Unlike conventional polishes, which only polish the surface to a shine while the lower layers of paint become drier and drier and slowly starve, Swissvax carnauba formulations enriched with oily extracts of passion fruits, oranges, avocados, and vanilla restore the lost deep gloss to the paint. The result is a deep, unique "wet look" that excites collectors and car enthusiasts worldwide.

The Swissvax Secret

The secret of Swissvax lies in the exceptionally durable carnauba wax formulations, which are created after hours of production from double-walled microparticles - the so-called microencapsulation. Passion. The Swiss reputation for quality and precision is reflected in our products. For more than three generations, we have been privately passionate car and boat lovers. A hobby with joys and sorrows that we know well and which drives us daily to find interesting care solutions for sensitive areas.

Deep reflective surfaces

We firmly believe that car care must be simple. Only simple vehicle care becomes regular care, the prerequisite for a perfectly maintained automobile. Goodwill and the use of the right care products alone are not yet a guarantee for a good result. Only the right sequence and the application of special care techniques lead to the desired success.
