Came across this and found it really interesting, hope it's not a repost as it was from 2008/2009.
Fair play to the fella for actually following it right through.

A run down of what is in the thread.
A fella started off with these waxs to test, the test started in 30th June 2008
List of waxs:
Swissvax Divine
Swissvax Mystery
Swissvax Best of Show
Swissvax Concourso
Swissvax Saphir
Swissvax Onyx
***** Royale
***** Vintage
***** Glasur
***** Carbon
Collinite 845IW
Collinite 915
Collinite 476s
Nattys Blue
Nattys White
Rubbish Boys Orginal
Rubbish Boys Dodo Juice
Dodo Super Natural
Dodo Blue Velvet
Dodo Purple Haze
Dodo Rainforest Rub
Vic Concours (red)
Autoglym High Definition Wax
Finish Klare Pink Wax
Espuma Revive
Autosmart Cherry Glaze
Meguiars NXT
He added the wax's to the side of a horse lorry, in even squares, the lorry was washed while the waxs were on and everytome it was the ares were inspected to see which waxs were still there......
On 26.7.08 (1 month later) he checked them and found that
Both Autosmart Cherry Glaze and the Espuma Revive have all but failed
Next update Start of Sept 08, all these waxs have failed:
Finish Kare Pink Wax
NXT Liquid
Dodo Blue Velvet
Dodo Rainforest Rub, and
Dodo Supernatural.
Next update 8.10.08 - end ish of month three.
No real drop out's but he was keeping an eye on a few of the wax's....
1- Nattys White
2- Nattys Blue
3 - AG HD wax
4- Swissvax Onyx
and.....
5- Collinite 476s!! I'm gob smacked to say the least!
Next update was 1.11.08.Drop outs? no, we are still seeing protection from those remianing, although I have seen an increase in the number of waxes which must be watched very carefully at the next review. These include:
NXT Paste wax
Victoria Concours
Nattys white
Nattys Blue
Z Royale
Z Glasur
Z Carbon
Swissvax Onyx
Swissvax Saphir.
All wxes now stand at four months durability.
Review, 12th January 2009:After 6 and 1/2 months, the following waxes are still protecting the paintwork:
Autoglym Hi Def
Collinite 915 Marque D'Elegance
Nattys White & Blue
RaceGlaze 55
Swissvax Divine, Mystery, BoS and Concourso
Victoria Concours
Zymol Vintage and Glasur
So there you have it, my final list of what lasted over six months in very extreme conditions too.
