It also has a lifetime refill for free...so if you do a lot of waxing.....it may pay for itself.

I can buy a lot of P21S/Lusso/FMJ for $2000. I don't need a fancy crystal-like case for it. What sort of process/time is involved in getting the refill? Do you have to "go without" for months while they get it ready for you?

Maybe I would be interested if I had a CarreraGT or if I was waxing cars every day for a living. But then, if I did, I wouldn't bat an eye at 2 grand either.

the one for $30k is also a limited production. Initial shipment is 44oz. (which is a lot of wax).....If I had a rare rolls royce then maybe it would be worth it. There are other waxes Z***l makes that are way cheaper and produce really great results. Glasur is around $100 bucks I think.

If it's for the S, try Japon

I don't think you need to spend $2k for higher quality. You can get some pretty good waxes from $20 - $500. $2k wax would be used for a collector's car or one that's uber-rare. Not for a car like any of us might have.

Just my $.02 of course

^^^Better? YES, but are they 1000 times shinier, can I look at it and say "wow! this is definitely 1000 times shinier than PS21" I'm not bashing it, but just making a case that all, because it does sound silly to said "1000x higher quality".

They do use better ingrediants, especially the carnuba they use, but prep work is the key to shine. you can use a wax that costs 20 bucks or 2000 bucks, but it aint gonna mean squat if the prep work isnt right.

I have used a sealant thats $15 a bottle and the shine/reflections from it are awesome for the price.

Zymol isnt a waste of money, but you can get great waxes from them and only spend a couple hundred bucks.

I like having a "few" waxes/brands around, so I can choose whatever I am in the mood for or time of year. I wouldn't stick solely to one wax all the time.
