Default $58 Wax??!

When shopping around in the car care section at AutoBac's I noticed some $58 Zymol wax. What is so special about this stuff? Anyone used it or seen the result? I think for that price it should make a protective force field to repel all dirt and water so you would never have to wash again!

Thats cheap for a Zymol wax!

Check out their website or swissol's website. The highest price for Zymol's high end stuff is about US$1,347 (but I think you get a life time suply).

It would be interesting how a $1,300 wax (or even a $58 wax) compares with a $14 tub of s100. At some point the law of diminishing returns must kick in.

My favorite $59 wax is Pinnacle Souveran. I've never been a fan of Zymol.

and my fav carnauba is S100 which is supposedly the exact same as P21s sold at local Harley stores

Mike your car looks great (as always!!) - i may have to try topping my Klasse with some s100 with the PC

Eagle One with the nanotechnology. Maybe a gimmick, but it does a great job for 9.99.

P21S is available online at tons of distributors. Also, the same company makes what people say is a very similar (or even identical) wax that's marketed toward motorcycle owners. It's called S100 and is available online as well as at most Harley Davidson dealers.
