Whoa! 30K for some wax?

hmmmm...I mean I don't mind paying for a quality product but I think this going way overboard.

I mean if you car already has a proper finish and shine, most quality products will do the trick.

Ok when I can find $30K to spend on wax, I would officially have too much money. What market are they trying to target with this? I think they're just trying to stir up interest in Zymol. Hell it's got us opening a thread dedicated to it. Good marketing if you ask me.

For $30K, it should come with a team of expert detailers for when ever you want you car waxed.....

To point out how ridiculous this is... You can get your car professionally repainted for about $4,000. That $30,000 would buy at least 7 paint jobs.

Marketing.

They want even more publicity. There are probably at least 100 people around the internet thinking this wax is the solution to all problems just because it cost $30k.

Give me a $30 wax and I'll make the car looks great. Then give an average joe that $30k wax and see if he can duplicate the work.

The zymol thing is getting out of hand.

Actually, Paul doesn't use the 30K wax - although he'll probably be using it in the future and charging his clients even more. He uses Royale.

From his website

Currently, his favoured product is a natural carnauba wax that protects paintwork underneath one or more tough, protective and water-resistant layers. Of particular note is Royale a £7188 wax with a staggering 73% White Carnauba concentration.

Not be picky here but this guy CHARGES LOTS for washing cars however he's washing that Maserati in the sun. Am I missing something? I thought you were supposed to wash cars in the shade. Right?

By the way, that is NOT the $30k solar activated wax that comes with the gold spoon... It's "only" the $7,500 wax:

If you have a 1Mil+ car, $30K wax is about 3% or less

If you have someone to wax you car everyday for the next 10 years, cost is about $8 a day + labor......
