wow....

That's a detailing job. I'm gonna tape my car next time I wax it

Is zymol that good? or do you think they are somehow "sponsored" by them? Just curious... I'm always preached to use Zaino by my car buff buddies...

I use Zymol on my SVX religiously... Zymol leather cleaner, conditioner, car wash, zymol wax, and detailing spray. However, THAT zymol they're using is crazy... it's over $7,500 for one can of it, but it does come with a lifetime refillability, you send it in when it's empty, but it's supposedly the BEST stuff evar!!!

Here it is:

ZYMOL ROYALE GLAZE 44 oz - Zymol Worldwide

I use this though:

ZYMOL CLEANER WAX - Zymol Worldwide

You can find it in a cheaper plastic bottle for about $12-15 at many auto stores, even target. Try it. I love it. It smells great, goes on easy, comes off easy, and leaves an AMAZING shine. I've turned a pink car back into RED with this stuff.

zymol is good.... but all wax is personal preference..

btw: the 6000 dollar zymol... is absolutely nothing special... the only reason it is 6000 dollars, is so you can say you have 6000 dollar wax, so you can charge 12000 for a detail.....

also, it gives you free refills for life..

I use zaino on my car and have been happy... but again it is all personal preference on what you are going for (depth or reflectiveness)

I'm not really big on oogling cars, but the reflection on that car post-detailing is amazing.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

I can't believe my stepmom is getting a Bugatti. Meanwhile I'm driving a 94 pickup with a blown gasket.

The cost of a single Bugatti tyre comes in at £5000 although they will sell four for £17000.
Does that include the rims? Spinners?

Seems to me it has a funky type of wax in it's ingredients too... not sure if it's any better than regular carnuba wax.

When you get four one of those will be a spinner.

I'll stick to my eggs when it comes to shining my car... Much cheaper, and looks almost as good.
