They are in the $10,000 jar of Zymol. UK is limited to 13 Bald Eagle beaks per jar so not the pure essence you have worked so hard for to achieve. I understand they use little rock polishers to grind the beaks down. Perhaps an advantage?

You get free refills for life if you can open the container.

Zymol Royale Glaze (1412g) 12001



FWIW, I have no problem with OP's hobby or viewpoint. Just a little fun.

Side note: Zyrtle Wax is what Larry from carcareonline called it.

Hey Zeke, thanks for the feedback.
Sorry, but the only thing I'm guilty of not reading is my post, after auto-correct made changes.
I guess, in your book, I committed a major faux pas - (that's French for 'who gives a crap').

Holly crap dude you got a lot of sh.... ah stuff. I have the Zymol blue wax. It's pretty good, not sure it's better than any other Carnauba wax though? I fell for the line it makes the color "deeper" that was twenty years ago. Smells like Hawaiian tropic which is nice.

Zymol

The early zymol was called fantasy. Amazing wax no longer available (1985).

I purchased Destiny at as it is closest today to the original formula of fantasy.

Let me say that after much research I found that zymol is the only company that actually grows and cultivates the products they put in their wax..

Also zymol is currently applied to every Aston Martin at the factory.

Zymol is still considering THE top wax in the world.

Go to any detail forum and you will see zymol wax especially the estate waxes are indeed held in high regard.

If you’re serious about concours or car shows zymols estate waxes are the only choice.

True I’m not going to be judged but this will be a learning experience.

I’ve heard story’s of people completely dismantling a car so they could win at the national level..

I am not knocking this car show stuff, my dad used to be into it.

I said it once I will say it again, I prefer a trophy for driving it not parking it.

Even if it is a $5 SCCA trophy.

Lies. That’s a jar of lube.






Just kidding. But seriously, I can see why they changed the name.
