The history and tradition of Swissvax, a unique automotive and marine care system which even today still is hand made in Switzerland, reaches back to the 1930’s.

Like many other extraordinary and ingenious products, also the famous Swissvax waxes have originated from a kitchen table – namely the kitchen table of the Swiss family Anwander – as a product originally developed for the very own sophisticated needs of grandfather Anwander.

In these early days, the old chemist’s store of the family Anwander in Zürich served as the laboratory and the manufacturing site for the first tins of precious “Antikwachs”, a wax formulation specifically engineered and refined for the care and protection needs of antique furniture and lacquers. Since the first tins of Antikwachs, the Anwander family has dedicated all its passion, ambition and the ultimate sense for perfection to paintwork, lacquers and waxes – a continuous and strenuous pursuit for the finest products in the marketplace.

The nowadays world-renowned automotive waxes were originally developed for the exclusive private use of grandfather Anwander who – like many other successful inventors of the last century – didn’t find a product meeting his sophisticated demands on the market and therefore decided to create his own wax. This first creation was the start of the extraordinary history of a family business which has dedicated itself to the manufacture and production of the finest automotive and marine care products on the market.

What commenced as the development of waxes for paintwork care, over the years evolved to the meticulous creation of a complete automotive care line covering the needs of even the most sophisticated car enthusiast catering for leather, wood, plastic, fabric, vinyl, glass, metal, rubber, wheels and tyres. Swissvax facilitates the thorough care and durable protection of every type of surface encountered on your vehicle.

Also today, every Swissvax product is hand made in the paintwork factory of the family Anwander where wax pot per wax pot is created and poured by hand. This is a delibrate policy on our part as the highly complex and secret formulations and the sensitive valuable ingredients don’t allow for the application of industrial production processes. We also like to do it this way.

An absolutely perfect Care System – from every perspective

Swissvax offers its customers a complete and thorough car care system of perfectly matched products all developed following the same highly sophisticated quality and performance standards. At Swissvax we cater for all your automotive and marine care needs and you can be sure that all products have been perfectly matched to each other and that they are 100% compatible with each other.

Swissvax waxes do not contain abrasives and can be applied unscrupulously and regularly on any kind of paintwork, especially on brand-new or repainted vehicles to add additional protection of the paintwork.

The ingenious Swissvax paintwork care process includes three systematic steps providing ultimate results with ease: First, the paintwork is treated with the Paint Rubber, a mineralic putty compound for the effortless removal of contaminants adhering to the paintwork surface. During the second step, Cleaner Fluid, a paintwork nourishing fluid with excellent deep cleansing characteristics, is applied and buffed leaving nothing but a perfectly clean, smooth and homogenous paintwork surface. The third step seals the paintwork with the wax of your choice chosen out of the wide range of Swissvax waxes. This Swissvax paintwork cure process is a procedure which has been meticulously perfectioned over decades resulting in the ultimate Swissvax finish and the most intense gloss captivating users all over the world.

Two additional key characteristics of Swissvax products are their longevity and durability. All Swissvax products convince with an outstanding longevity, one single Swissvax wax application lasts from 8 weeks up to a year (depending on the choice of wax and the use of the vehicle).
