Default Zymol Wax

I saw on youtube, that people where applying zymol wax by hand, its was a little jar, they spreaded on ther hands and applied by hand, and it showed great results, but then i looked it up on zymols website and they want $40 bucks for a little jar, is it just a gimmic or somthing worth the money, i also heard about somthing called S-100 what do you guys think

There are a few products that you can apply w/ your bare hands. The idea is to warm up the product prior to application, the applicator pad wont absorb any product, you can achieve a slightly thinner application this way, etc etc. I've applied them every which way possible, and I'm still partial to using an applicator pad, by hand (unless its liquid, in which case I'll use a machine for a thin layer).
If you're looking to grab some zymol, shoot me a pm and I can get the product for you.
As for S100, it is more or less, rebadged P21s wax:

Zymol was worth the purchase for me. I have Zymol Creme and thats how I apply it all the time. I get great beading and I have pretty good durability with the wax. I can get it to last around 3-4 months before I get bored and reapply the thing

A great product that you can apply by hand that gives great results is One Grand Blitz Wax. You can get it here:

That Zymol Vintage is a $1900 wax. Similar to Swissvax Divine that I use on my details. Like Chris said, it does allow a thinner layer, but I also find an applicator easier to use.

i think its a bit costly, but it showed great results and it has a nice smell!
it can be hard to rub off.
