i just glanced at zymol's website and i dont know if anyone has seen there prices, but they have wax for 1500, 500, 300, and 100 (those are guesses but they do have close to that, like teh 1500 is for real).



.... has any1 ever seen these products? are they reallly THAT good? because thats rediculous!
 
The high-end Zymol waxes have been discussed many times over. Several respected members think they're the best waxes around. Others do not. Whether they're worth it or not is an individual decision.



The refills aren't free as you have to send back the heavy, molded container it came in and pay the shipping both ways.
 
I have the Vintage wax. Is it worth it? Yes to me it is. Gives the best wax finish. I have tried over 25 waxes and this is the best. I wax at least once a week. Would i do it again? YES!!
 
I guess the way I look at it is this... Is Zymol good? Well they obviously think so and there are certian ppl out there willing to pay this much for their products. I personally don't think a detailer would ever do such a thing. (just not good business sense at all. You'd loose your a$$ investing like that) But a collector and autophile probably would. My thought would be if I put $7000 worth of wax on my car would it increase the value of my car $7000? Nope surely not. Because like all wax weather it's a $1 or it's $7000+ it's made to break down and simply wash off. So in essence you're just washing away a months income (or a few months in some cases).
 
What's the difference between the Royale and the Vintage anyway? It looks like the Royale is custom made and you get 2 tubs... is that all? I'd be willing to shed a few bucks on the Vintage per people's reviews here, but I doubt I'd ever come to spend that much on the Royale.
 
Actually many pro detailers are using the high end Zymol and Swissvax waxes including Picus and the very high priced Paul Dalton in Britain.

I will stick with OCW. I agree it makes bad business sense to spend that much on a product that may only be marginally better than most of the other waxes and sealants discussed here.

Yeah, but it doesn't matter if it's only marginally better if you MARKET yourself as applying the most expensive wax.
 
Is the value to the customer that much better to warrant charging the type of rates that can make up for the ridiculous cost? Anyways to each is own.
 
Yea but exactly how much would you have to mark up your detail prices to justify spending $7000 on a small tub of wax? And what's the turn around for refills? Like I said I can see collecter like Jay leno or the like going after this type of product. But as a business venture it's just bad investing.
 
I detail on the side to support my personal detailing habit. Not so much for a large profit. If i had a couple thousand in my detail coffer one day i might buy some of that wax. (the vintage) and if a customer wanted it, hey free refills! (there has to be a catch).
 
If it makes you feel better about your car and you can afford it, go for it. Does it look any better? Eye of the beholder. Any better protection? Doubtful, and probably less protection than a sealant, but they don't advertise this wax as a protectant.
 
'I\'ve had Vintage for about 6 month\'s, previously using Concours and Titanium. It\'s a great wax, the SLIGHT edge it has over Concours has to be seen to be appreciated.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a stupidlty expensive product (even with the refils), but i\'m well pleased. I would proudly say if i knew before i purchased what i know now i would still buy it.\r\n\r\nHowever as will all LSP\'s the prep is the key to gaining the best out of it. \r\n\r\nThe finish is top notch the price is even higher'
