The video:

May favorite part is when the host asks Greg:


"is this just a hoax... or a bunch of baloney sandwiches"


Another thing I saw in the video was this:

I don't think it's the gold wax, because the container looks silver. It's not J-97 - that's black.

What is it? A bunch of baloney sandwiches ????
 
We all know its not worth more than 50 dollars. Almond and Peach extract? Im sure our forum scientist Bob, along with forum waxologist Drew Elias could formulate and produce a better product.

Im sorry to say, but chemical guys has built themselves a slightly poor reputation and this puts this cherry on top. I was just in a Facebook group where the person said this..and I quote

" I posted yesterday that Greg Masterson was blowing up my phone because he photoshopped a photo of my Black Wow Pro and shared it on FB and I called him out on it. So now today I find we have a new review on Yelp with 1 star from a girl named Zelda that gave Chemical Guys a 5 star review raving about Greg Masterson being a great teacher. Her Review "I called this company several times and no one answered the phone. I stopped by and I felt completely ignored. Not really impressed with the quality of their customer service. "

It was also noted that he has been banned from several Facebook detailing groups. I'm not one to sit here and knock somebody but those multi thousand waxes are taking detailing in the wrong direction. One reason why I love Palm Beach Motoring/Autogeek so much is the fact that they LIKE to give us good products at GREAT prices. The amount of money I have saved at AG has kept me a loyal customer. Along with great customer service!

Sorry, that was my little rant for the night
 
This is the reason I stopped buying their stuff.
 
That's nutz! Its all about the collector edition and gold value in the case here. Are they numbering them? If they sold all 10 and the next batch is already sold then the value should be going down as they are putting more into the market now. Whatever.... id rather buy a great night in Vegas with hot chicks all over me and bottles of booze all around my table if I wanted to burn my $$$.

I bet when a buyer of this product opens it up it looks like any other paste wax. Would love to see their face!!
 
I have a $25,000 detail too. Doesn't mean anything either

Sent while I was Detailing or something related to detailing ;) or...
 
Seems to me they made a $10,000 wax for the same reason Miley went crazy... publicity...which leads to people buying their product(s) which ultimately leads to money... It's probably just part of their business model; a tool to increase publicity and/or sales the same way AGO uses the forum to gain product publicity, and boost sales. Neither one is necessarily wrong. That being said, AGO certainly is more tightly-knit and I think there really is a sense of congeniality and benevolence here!

[If we're going to talk about $10k waxes, maybe we should be talking about not the sellers, but rather, the prospective buyers...go watch the short video "Wealth Inequality in America" on the New Economic Institute website... it just highlights the income disparity here...there's nothing wrong with making money but not at the expense of morals or the well-being of the people at large... I worked for a private-jet detailing company this summer and heard a story about one of the G5s I was on...there was an insanely expensive rug (6 digits I think), that something was spilled on....so the rug was replaced...with the same one...makes you wonder what people do for a living hehe xD] Anyway, I digress; and his face did look rather slimy during the video...

Just my two cents xD
 
I work for a major casino with the wealthiest people in the world coming in. If u saw the amounts of $$ they have and spend here u would be sick. Its like they love to hate money but it keeps coming back to them faster than they can get rid of it. Every 100k they spend in 30 seconds it overshadowed by the million they made the last minute. INSANE AMOUNTS. I almost have no concept of what a dollar is worth anymore until I go into the Dollar Store. LOL

Think of the largest companies u see on tv or have in your town and I probably have met the owners at some time. I love it when there is a battle of who has more $$ to spend on the table and can get rid of it faster. LMAO

Although, it seems to me that when u have so much money u usually win because u can weather the storm until it turns ur way and u start to win. Then its off to the races. Along with that, they get everything for free for playing such huge amounts. So its really weird, the little people give their hard earned money away for nothing in return while the rich get richer. I know people that have been gambling the same way for over 12yrs now and it doesn't phase them to lose 15 million. Its all relative though, its like $.25 cents in a gumball machine for u or I.

Yeah, I read that whole thing about Greg M. supposedly "making fun" of something or other Black Wow was selling. So what? People make fun of Greg all the time. The one guy in that conversation called him a little xxxxxx (demeaning word for homosexual man). Honestly , I thought BW came off pretty bad on that one.

Maybe J-97 sold so well they had to top it with Gold Wax ???

crazy stuff... haha well the dollar store brings up an entirely different issue...those things probably aren't even worth a dollar! That's the other end of the goods spectrum, made with exploited labor, cheap materials etc...but let's not open up that can of worms now. I'm going to stop my rant before it fully starts. :nomore:
 
I'm the one that bought all 10. Look for my review coming up....








...Really? 10K? I don't even understand $100+ waxes.
 
And he's laughing all the way to the bank! Crazy, but if your the guy that's stupid enough to buy into the marketing and hype oh well. Imagine the profit margin on that batch of waxes, like 1000%!!!
 
I think a 10k wax is great. Am I going to buy it? No. But, if I was rich I would. People with loads of cash drop that much on a night out. At least the pot of wax will last a while, and you get a gold case that makes neat paperweight when the wax is gone.

I never understand why these high dollar items gather up so much venom. You would think this is the one place that people would think it's interesting.

If they created a 10k coating product in a 18kt gold bottle I would be much more interested.

^Good point. If you think about it as a paperweight, it's completely worth it. I mean, It's not going to be consumed and $|-|!+ out the next day like a Serendipity's golden Sundae :P Like Einstein said, everything is relative :)

If this was swissvax or whatever. Id be more interested. But.. its chemical guys...
 
At some level, it boils down to appearances, does it not?
Some guys will go get a $10 hair cut at a local barber shop, others will go to a boutique and get a $50 cut. Some would not be caught dead in either one; they spend upwards of $500 getting a hair cut, pampered with espresso and sparking water while getting a complimentary massage.
Now, if you switched out the stylists and put the $10 barber in the boutique, and the $500 stylist in the barbershop, the client wouldn't dare set foot in the barbershop to follow his stylist. It's about appearances.
Take detailing, for example. If someone told you they use a $4 Meguiar's product on their car, some of you might look down on them. While you don't see value in this low end product, they do.
Ultimately it boils down to perception, and what you are willing to spend. Some will spend $75 on a piece of steak, others wouldn't pay more that $10 or $15, and it better come with sides.
