Would You pay $1,650.00 for……

CAR WAX!!
Yep! That's right…car wax by ZYMOL.
At their website www.zymol.com they have a wax called "vintage" that has ingredients similar to some hand lotions for your skin. But hey if you want your maxima to shine as bright as a 1947 Bentley then they will kindly ship you the 22 ounce crystal glass looking container that is refillable for life!

But on a kinder note I do use their wax for japanese cars on my 5th gen and have before on the two 4th gens I had and it's around $35.00, but hey that's me!. I think the shine is about the same… ya know!
Heck on wax I'm savin' oh $1,615.00 bucks!!

So for all the big time Maxima Ballers who have dough to spend Check'em out yall! and remember the price, $1650.00
If you want that BIG BENTLEY SHINE on yo MAX !

Rappers who own Bentleys. Their butlers would wax, of course.

Well, I have to admit, I spent $70 on a can of Pinnacle Souveran wax. Actually, it came as part of a kit for $100.00. I was going to go with the Zaino, but ordered this instead. I have to admit, this kit took out ALL of my scratches and swirl marks and the wax gave it a mirror finish that I know is better than when it rolled off the assembly line.

Since it's refillable for life, why don't we all split the cost?

There should be enough people interested in this product to drive the price down...... WAY down.

Im in for that, just get about 100 peoples and we in. I think Zaino gonna wonder why we keep asking to get it filled every 2days, but if it refilable, then hell, shiettt, they need to keep refilling it every 2days.

Zymol

Hi all. I'm new to the Max life (picking up my car today - 2k2 Ebony SE loaded w/6spd) This forum has been a great place for me to research the car. Thanks.

On to Zymol. I know a fair bit about this product line. There are very real differences between the various levels of wax that they make. Mainly longer lasting, tougher to apply and better shine. If you want to try the Vintage (along with 2 other high end Zymol waxes), they will sell you a trial kit which is 4 ounces each of 3 different waxes for a total of 12 ounces. Last time I saw it, it was about $250 CDN. BTW, Zymol makes what I consider the best leather treatment product that I've ever used (Treat). It was the only product to actually soften and restore the dry, cracked leather on the top of the rear seat of my '90 Tbird SC. It's been a few years since I applied any wax on my cars (I lease and have gotten used to taking the car to the local detail shop), so maybe my experience is no longer valid, but I thought I'd mention it none the less.

The following was copied from Zymol's site (www.zymol.com) and lists there for $190US (it was on sale at time of this post)

vvvvvvvvvvv

Sampler™ Kits
Items # SKSK1: Regular Price: $224.00
# SKSK2: Regular Price: $132.00
The perfect way to sample three of zymöl’s Finest Estate Glazes, SKSK1 kit contains: 5 ounces HD-Cleanse™, 5 ounces Clear™, 4 ounces each of Destiny™, Atlantique™, and Vintage™, towel, detail brush, and booklet on the history of the waxes that were designed for the winners of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

SKSK2 kit contains: 5 ounces HD-Cleanse™,5 ounces Clear™, 4 ounces each of Carbon™,
Concours™, and Destiny™, towel, detail brush, and Owner's Manual.

I didn't believe it, so I found the link:

http://www.zymol.com/vintage.htm

They've got other waxes for $525 and $968, but it doesn't say they have free refills!

Or buy it keep sending it in to be refilled and stock pile it in 5 gallon buckets. Sell it in group deals for a whole lot less and get you cash back

I can never imagine spending that much though. I cant see it being worth it. Meguirs is good enough for me.

Hey Kevin…Consider a Group Buy?

Hey ! if your serious then let's consider a group buy on it. They (ZYMOL) have to live up to there promise of refills. Heck I think I will call them to see if there are any limitations to the refill policy, ya know "No refills within a 30-day period" . Buy it as a group and buy small containers to ship to members who chip-in.
Hey just an Idea.
I've used their wax for 31/2 years and would not use another wax because of the results that I get. Hey pass the idea along and see what happens!!
