Chris`I Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Yes. Quite a lot of pro detailers use it and also use much more expensive wax. BTW its a wax/glaze not a polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Holy moly! That's a lot of wonga! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I paid nearly that for my Swissvax stuff. If you love your car, then the good stuff really does make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW its a wax/glaze not a polish Thanks Chris "freudian slip". Fully agree with comments about buying the best but bloody hell pro-detailers pass the cost on to you. Her indoors would say thats our weekly shop and then follow it up with paying twice as much for a new dress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Yes madly expensive, and I think for me thats over the point of diminishing returns. I would certainly buy waxes up to about £100 for my Zed, but I think after that I'm not totally convinced I'd notice a difference. Saying that if someone were to do my car with a very expensive wax, I could be swayed to a more expensive one if it was worth it. Afterall I used to say I wouldnt spend more than £30 on a wax and now use Dodo SN, which cost me about £70/tub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I found no difference using Swissvax in comparison to using Dodo Juice supernatural. Over priced for what it is if you ask me. Even the headlight stuff they had compared the same to me using ultimate compound and a DA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aust350z Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I had a coat of this applied after my last pro detail. http://www.zymol.com/zymolroyaleglaze44oz.aspx Best gloss I've seen on the car. But hard to distinguish between it and other quality waxes IMHO. It was 100 quid for the application. I like trying out different waxes.

Envy Valeting Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Zymol Concours is pretty cheap when you work out cost per application/time it lasts. I prefer the Vintage wax, a lot easier to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you pay this price £2,100 http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/swis ... a-wax.aspx I know someone who uses this at £2,000+ on a couple of his cars... but then he is the sort of person who would pay £800 for an £8 pair of Primark jeans with a designer's label on it. (Not that I'm saying the Zymol stuff isn't any better/different to cheaper waxes, of course. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuarty Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Seriously, who would be stupid enough to buy into a car wax that costs thousands? A good prep and a couple of coats of dodo juice wax or autoglym hd wax and its job done. Lets face it theres kids out there starving to death for the sake of a couple of quid!

Ekona Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'd rather spend £2K on a wax than give money to starving children, but that's another story. If you've got the money to buy the very best, and can work it well enough to get the best out of it, then why not? If I had a good size lottery win I'd buy a tub just for a laugh, to see what it was actually like compared with other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as you get free refils (which I hear are rather hard to actually get!), you could just wax all your mates/families/forums cars with it too and never run out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you pay this price £2,100 http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/swis ... a-wax.aspx I like most Swissvax waxes but found my pot of Divine to be difficult to apply, difficult to buff off and so dont reach for it that often.Divine luckily for detailers is available in individual pots, not the twin pack above. It doesnt seem such good value as the Zymol Vintage (close in price) but you can get it refilled for the cost of sending it to and from America, unlike the Divine.

Me The only products I dont generally use are the AG ones you mention as I feel they dont offer such a good end result or last nearly as long as the Dodo, Chemical Guys, Swissvax, Zymol stuff I choose to use in my work.

nzr350z Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Perhaps we could do a group buy for a tub then split it equally between us all,sure someone on the forum has some scales to weigh very very very small quantities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i can assure you im jealous of no man! Im as happy as a pig in @*!# right now. Just picked up my brand new bmw last wednesday, im flying out to egypt on monday for a wee week away with the wife, my 7k trade in cheque from bmw fell through the letterbox today. Life's great! As ive already said i might be alot of things but jealous just isnt one of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
