Let's talk about Expensive wax here (+300$)

Just throwin' in my .02 cents....I've used DP Max Wax and have gotten 6-8 weeks of protection and shine....I just washed and the beading was spectacular...I did this LSP with Pinnacle SSII for giggles and kicks...It's a little more expensive than the DP Max Wax and the shine is supposed to be superior...I can't tell, I haven't had it in the sunlight yet...

Find what you like and use it...If using a $1250.00 wax works for you, then use it..If Collonite 845 at $15.00 a pop works for you (works for me) then use it.

I've got some "Jeff Wax" that sells for $2500.00 for 16oz. ....If anyone is interested I also have, some swampland in FL for $1250.00 an acre, and the Brooklyn Bridge is on the table for $9000.00....Anyone interested contact me...lol
 
To me Pinnacle Souveran is the best "deal" and easiest to use. I have tried Swissvax Mirage and Concorso, Zymol Destiny and Atlantique from samples.

Mirage doesnt seem any better than Souveran in any aspects. Concorso, Destiny and Atlantique seem shinier, better sheeting and are longer lasting. I have to say that the Atlantique is the best to repel dust and the car stays cleaner and shines longer. Was the toughest to buff (60% carnauba) but is the longest lasting and does seem to give the best result regardless of the price I have tried. Would like to try the Swissvax Crystal Rock if it would ever exist in a sampler size.

But none of them are easier to use and bang for the buck as Souveran. Zymol do offer sampler kits and frequently on sale which makes it a very good deal for 3 x 2 oz if you are interested in trying it. I would consider Concorso the best compromise for someone that would want to try something higher than Souveran, it lasts longer and is very easy to use. Cheers.

So far, I can say that wolfgang is the wax I use most for high-end detail or long lasting wax.

If the owner want long lasting protection, I tend to use sealant or if he do lots of track or like to wax is car himself.

if I want wetness, I tend to use Signature II or VW Red.. last a good 2 month-3 months instead of Souveran.. I now use souveran only on my own personal car or friend's car.

If I want pop to flake, I tend to use pete'53 because natty red don't last enought.

I'm still tempting to try 5050. anyone recommand it?

I use 5050 regularly, I don't have a lot compare it to other than PB nattys blue. All I can say is it's very easy to apply and remove and gives an amazing shine on black
 
I agree about prep, there's NO getting around it! To date, the most expensive wax I've ever bought was Pinnacle Sourvern and that was about 6 years ago and cost me $60.00. When I use up my current Griot's wax stick I'm going to be buying/trying their new caranuba wax for sure but right now, I'm all about sealants and only use caranuba when I'm feeling nostalgic, LOL! (it does make the paint look different than the sealants though, a good different)

It seems with alot of the uber waxes you get caught up in the story of where its sourced from, the container it comes in general the story about it. Then there's the paid or "unpaid" salesmen for it here and on other sites, almost a "build it and they will come" way of looking at it.
 
Some say he eats an $8000.00 wax for breakfast...

Big fan of swissvax here. Never tried any of their $350+ waxes, but I can say that I definitely prefer concorso to Fuzion, Souveran, Supernatural, etc. All are great waxes, but concorso to me simply is a step above all of them. It should be though at 2-3 times the price!

I have a friend that used onyx an mirage and swears by them. I'll have to see if I can grab a small sample from him and do a test panel...

Bottom line, use what you like. Just because something is more expensive doesn't mean it's a scam.
 
well times have flies very quickly because here's some of my collection as of today..

I don't mind doing sample.
 
IMO, the best wax in the world is the one that u dont have to tell ur friends (to get the compliment) that u 've used "xyz" wax...

I mean whats the use of such expensive waxes, when u've to tell ur friend that u have used zymol or swissvax or any other for that matter?

Best product speaks for itself... regardless of price.Im the MAN

How do you like the Zymol stuff?
Compared to Swissvax?

great. most people who say that Zymol is hard to use or saw gazing issue are either noobs or never used one because they are quite easy to use!

From glasur to royale, they are all easy to use. and WOWO, so it doesnt take long to wax.

SV remind me of Fuzion' ease of use. it buff off easy and can be worked on hot panel no problem. I just hate their container, they all crack. very cheap for such an expensive wax.
 
My wife ordered me a pot of Zymol Ital for my birthday. Cant wait to try it.
 
expensive wax is just waist of money , and waist of time :))

You will enjoy it.. remind me a lot of Souveran ( same smell) but last 3 months instead of 3 weeks.

I've heard it has fantastic durability. My Vette currently have two coats of swissvax concorso applied well over two months ago and it's still beading like crazy!
 
I'm dying to try some wax in the 200.00 price range, but just can't make up mind... I'm thinking of Swissvax Blau Weiss or Zymol Concours. I'm leaning towards the Zymol. Or maybe I'll just try Souveran or Fuzion. It's really hard to figure out which one to try.

I recently purchased some Zymol Japon Wax for Japenese cars (albeit my RX350 was made in Canada). It was below their $49 retail price so I thought I would give it a try.
Unfortunately, I'm running out of panels on my car to test all of the waxes I keep buying on BOGO or VIP specials.

:doh:

You'll be very happy with Japon. I have a lot of zymol waxes and that is one of my favorites, especially for the money.

I have Zymol Japon, Detail, Talon (motorcycles), Concours, Destiny, and Antique. I would have to say all of these waxes are very good. Their all very easy to use and have very nice durability.
