Expensive waxes

After $69.99 how much better can a wax really get and imo you're just paying for the name hype etc at that point
Granted I'm putting my money where my mouth is and I'm testing a lot of waxes, varying price ranges, etc
 
Honestly maybe 30 bucks. I'd rather have a great sealant. Some people here are wax crazy and rave about longevity and durability, but these same people reapply every month! Plus I am a strictly DD only owner, so my pretty wax job only looks great for a day or two. Plus people will boost a lot with a QD between washes and waxes too.
 
The most I've ever paid was for Pinnacle Souveran which was on sale for half price at the time. Outstanding product. I was willing to pay $50 just to try it but just couldn't allow myself to pay full price.

The next most expensive is Griot's Premium Carnauba Wax...$39.95 less the discount promotion Autogeek was running at the time. I haven't tried it yet but will once Spring rolls around. I expect to find it outstanding as well.

just enough to get the dodo waxes :dblthumb2:
 
Well I spent $100 but that was for Fuzion an you get two jars so it was really only $50 a jar. But regular price is $175 and then I bought Souveran at $75. I do find that they have a better shine!
 
I got a Chemical Guys Celeste Dettaglio for $120, wont go beyond that unless AG offers me E-zyme for $150...

Nevertheless, I must implore:
Would I still be considered depraved, having excessive money, and/or even no sense of responsibility
if I were to pay: $15,427.16...for such a car wax?!?!
(Afterall: The milled and polished Titanium container would be a coveted item)

LOL ^

I mean i guess at one point we all get carried away and get crazy over different waxes. When it happened to me, i bought souveran since I had a black car and will probably the only time I spend 70$ on a lsp(deal with spray bottle, pinnacle waterless wash). It was a good deal, I love souveran! It is the only "boutique" wax I have.
 
Has anybody done a a side by side thorough review of souveran and maxwax with data, analysis on Autogeek forum?
 
Just dropped $200 on AF Desire. By far the most I've ever spent on any LSP. My wife purchased me some SV Concourso this past Christmas, but I didn't get that credit card bill..

Honestly, it's all about what you're comfortable with. I've recently gotten into the Zymol line, and I find that their waxes offer tremendous value, gloss, and durability for the money. I used to think that spending $75+ on a paste wax/coating/sealant was ridiculous, but then I tried Zymol/Wolf's Chemicals/Auto Finesse/Swissvax.

No but if I had to guess, you'd achieve a higher gloss with the Souveran, and better durability from the MaxWax.
 
For my black Audi it's the fusion hands down, I just buy the sample container and I get quite a few wax jobs from the little container, for my super white corolla I really like max wax.

I agree
 
i have a swisswax devine got for 1/3 of orig cost. also use and love race glaze black label. pricey but what a pot! wonder what people pay for their camera, golf clubs etc. this is my hobby and my wife loves shiny things.
