Chaos/Mayhem: My Review
#1
![Default](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I recently received some Victoria Wax Chaos and Mayhem from Chris at Glimmer-Glass Detailing to review (Thanks Chris!
). So I pretty much split my car down the middle to do some side by side comparisons. Crazy idea but oh well, it worked quite nicely. It made for some nice side by side shots that you'll see later.
I saw some slight variations between the 2 that probably aren't in the pictures. My experiences were very similar to other users opinions - easy application, and super easy removal, much like a nice sealant. The looks are great on both waxes. The main difference is that I found that Mayhem had a slight dulling of the flakes and that Chaos made the paint slightly brighter and made the flake pop a bit. Each were more or less equal in terms of wetness after application but if I had to give the award, Mayhem won by just a little bit. Another thing I noticed was that Mayhem was a bit softer than Chaos so I sort of used a bit more product with Mayhem than Chaos (oops).
Anyway, here are a lot of pictures. I did pictures at sun down and during the afternoon when the sun is hottest. My car was prepped with a Dawn/P21S TAW wash to attempt to remove the factory wax (its still on there slightly) and the tires were dressed with Finish Kare 108. Enjoy!
Car was split down the middle from emblem to emblem as straight as I could for this review...

You guys have to keep in mind that I'm using a point and shoot camera so the pics might not be as clear as in person. Also, to answer the sweating issue, I have not seen any yet. There was a 1 day gap between the sun down and the afternoon shots. I'll keep you updated on it though![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Beading shots! They're pretty much identical

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My verdict:
I seriously love both waxes. They're like a perfect pair. Chaos is bright and sharp while Mayhem is dark and deep. To be honest, I never looked at Victoria until now and needless to say, I'll be picking up the full versions once they come out. Of course, my favorite is Chaos as of now. I'm loving its looks a bit more than Mayhem. These 2 will definitely have a place in my arsenal
. Thanks once again Chris for giving me the opportunity to test this new wax coming out for sale next year ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Also, some shots are off since I'm using a point and shoot instead of a DSLR. Please keep that in mind![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
My next test will be Mayhem layered on top of Chaos so stay tuned

Awesome man! Great review, Thanks!
I too love Chaos! Applied it to the M a few weeks ago and it still looks amazing!
And just to note, we are the only Victoria Wax dealer in the US! (well, pakshak is too, but they're in HI).
We've stood behind Victoria Wax for quite a few years now and have always admired their products! They make some very high quality stuff that everyone will enjoy using.
And finally, we do have a few samples of Chaos and Mayhem left. We'll be throwing this in orders over the weekend. consider it an early stocking stuffer

Yup yup, thats definitely a factor Chris. In fact, unless I did this in a place with 360 degree equal lighting hitting the same spots on the car as the other side, it will probably be distorted in pics haha

With Victoria's tendency for normal looking containers, the name and performance is the factors for me to buy it since it has no scent

Last update. Beading is more or less the same as before. Definitely a keeper wax. Also, pricing has been given out for 2010 and its a great price! ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Later this week I'll probably remove it to review another wax for you guys. I'll do a durability test next time around haha. Its about time for the monthly rewax
