This really does make me laugh. Surely this is for those who have more money than common sense?! I'm sure it looks great, but it's a bit like fine wines. Most people can't tell the difference beyond a certain price point. Even if I had $30,000 and the wax was personally appplied to my car by young naked virgins using their breasts as applicators, I doubt I'd be tempted to spend so much...

Then again, the virgins are tempting me.

You'd have to be a mentalist as a private punter to pay that, but that type of stuff will be bought by Zymol-approved pro detailers (like the more 'reasonable' Royale Glaze at about £6K per pot), and will include lifetime refills as part of the price. As the great and good will pay a detailer several hundred pounds per job the Royale (but maybe not the one at your link) will pay for itself after a while on that basis.

BTW I use Zymol products (after using exclusively Autoglym before - hardly bargain basement themselves), and they are unbelievably good, if not cheap (about £130 for a starter kit). The finish and protection for your motor are unbeatable though.

Just save up your ear wax add a bit of Olive Oil, some Carnubas, sliced calamata oilives, honeydew melon, coconut oil, and some clippings from the hedge.

I blame thicko footballers who are paid excessive amount for kicking a bag of wind about for these ultra over priced items. well I don't actually blame them just the sport that has let the situation happen.

Hyper-pathic thought process
"Might save up a lambo..let see its will take me 3 weeks, so another day or two pay (whilst I'm not actually playing) for some ultra hyper wax...why not"

However I will say the lower end (sub 100 quid) Zymol wax is well worth the money..

silverbmwz3 · 09-12-2007, 06:09 AM

ROTFLMAO. Yes, I agree this will be bought by the likes of Miracle Detailing i suspect - the guy who I believe does Rod Stewarts ferrari for several k a wash

Steve A · 09-12-2007, 06:19 AM

Silver i agree high end vehicle detailers will snap then up.

In the USA if a detailing house has 1000,s of cars a year to do then 30k on a free refil for life is cheap. It will also ad the kudos for the business.

For us mere mortals its a nonsense, but fot the right business its a gold mine.
