As someone who has tried to purchase SV Rights to Distribute, let me explain how the company works. Hold onto your butts.
SV Euro is a corporation in Europe. In order to sell SV in the US, SV USA is an entirely separate corporation from SV Euro, but related and branded under the SV names and trademarks, exclusively selling in the US. SV Canada aka Autoobessed is the exclusive Canadian distributor that is not owned by either SV Euro or SV USA.
Now for US Distribution, SV USA controls everything in and out of the USA. Being the Exclusive Distributor they control who sells what. Considering that 99% on "pro-detailing" supplies is sold online, SV USA having AG sell products is competing with themselves. Remember, they are not part of SV Euro trying to ship products, they are a distributor that buys and imports the product and then sells it themselves. Its not so much as AG not wanting to deal with them, its SV USA not wanting to shoot itself in the foot. Currently, all US SV must be purchased from SV USA.
As far as Zymol and Swissvax both not getting on with AG, I actually know what the main stick in the muds is, but due to Confidential Informations Act, I am legally unable to elaborate further.
Although I am ask... Why not just buy from them??

exactly^ why not just buy directly?
AG is a great company.. but not the only great company out there

Actually, there's at least one other online retailer who sells SV over the net. I know because their warehouse/showroom is less than a 10 min drive from my house, and I bought an SV wheel brush from them recently. Works great too.

No Zymol is made by Turtle Wax. I believe they used their factories / distribution years ago - but not now.

Oh yes they do, the cleaner wax and the detailer and shampoo is made by TW. Go to Amazon and type Zymol Cleaner Wax and it even says "made by Turtle Wax".
Take a look at Zymol's web site and see that those products aren't there.
Who cares who makes it. People would crap their pants if they knew who made 1/2 their stuff. Its not like TW is a Nigerian chemical outfit. They are very capable of making a good product, their platinum line was great.
People knock the Zymol cleaner wax all the time, of course with out ever having used it. It's not bad at all, a very decent OTC cleaner wax that is a pleasure to use (smell and ease of use), it cleans and fills very well and its as durable as most boutique waxes.

FYI, they are on Zymols site. They are under "Introductory Products"
You will never see Zymol or Swissvax @ AG.
From what I understand (was told) Turtle Wax used to bottle stuff for Zymol's OTC.
This product (old) was/may have been bottles by TW (Z503):
While that product may still be sold by some retailers, I was told it was replaced by this product (Z503A):
Which is bottled at Zymol's own facility, which ended their association with TW. I could be wrong, but that's just what I was told.

Add auto finesse to the wishlist of companies I'd like to see added.

I used to have the Zymol cleaner wax along with the quick detailer and they were horrible. The cleaner wax smeared very badly and the quick detailer couldn't even wipe away light dust without scratching the paint.
In the mid 90's I liked Zymol's liquid wax though I think it wasn't called cleaner wax.
The Platinum line of TW certainly made my car's paint look good but would last only for around 2-3 car washes.
I think the current distributor of Auto Finesse has exclusive rights.
@swanicyouth
That would be good news if those products went back to Zymol's own production.
