$200+ "limited edition" Carnauba Wax...
I've been seeing some really expensive wax being marketed as "limited edition," and using only the highest/purest grade carnauba.
Hype? Waste of money? Sounds awfully expensive for 16 oz tin of tree wax lol.
Anyone try this?

Yeah, I'm under the impression it's more hype than substance, although I have no idea. Just curious if anyone has actually tried it.
Here's Griot's version. Pinnacle has one too, among others.

It's more for show cars, etc.
We got a client that likes it on his exotic cars and would ask for it every now and then even though we coated all his cars, but unless you drive a Ferrari or some nice show quality car that sits in the garage 95% of the year, you do not need this.

I would think the main customers of these super expensive waxes aren't DIYers, but high-end detailers, who want to be able to offer their customers some degree of exclusivity, so they can justify paying four and five figure sums for detailing their cars.

Yeah, I was just curious if anyone had any first-hand knowledge or use of these and could either sing its praises or tell us they can't tell any difference from a run-of-the-mill wax.
In other words, anyone out there try this stuff or personally seen it after it has been applied?

IMO you are paying for the container. I purchased some Wolfgangs wax which usually comes in a very expensive container...it was on sale in a non expensive container. I purchased it thinking I was getting bulletproof wax. It was a good wax but really about the same as Kit wax I paid $5.00 a bottle for...so no real advantage unless you are a car wax container collector.......

I also tried it on my obsidian black IS250, and I didn't really notice a difference. It basically looked the same with or without the fusion wax on top of the sealant.
In summary, it only looks good on pearl paint and it is not meant for protection in my opinion.

You just have to email them a picture of an empty container and the certificate for them to send you the refill.

From my experience and research you are paying for a $10 or $20 wax and then $180 or more for a fancy container, brand name, and scent with those pricey high end Carnuba Waxes. Worst thing is they just don't last long or look the way do for long, after your first wash most of it goes away.
