$1,980 Car Wax

Hard to believe . . .

Swissol Divine

"The world’s most exclusive car wax - specially blended for a particular car and paint.
Each year, we blend for a very limited number of collectors and enthusiasts a glaze of most exceptional quality containing over 60% by volume of ultra pure Brazilian white carnauba. It is made to order and is specially formulated to meet the paint system of one particular automobile."

200ml jar: $1,980

(But you do get a wooden box with a personalized brass name plate - according to the free brochure they will mail you)

Yeah, I bought a can of this stuff the other day. Shine was OK but didn't last all that long. I'm going back to Turtle Wax.

No kidding, for that kind of money they should fly a grid girl or two out to do it for you.

Hear is the skinny on the Super Expensive wax.
When I was at Pelican I contacted the Zymol Rep , The fellow two doors down fom my house is a top end detailes. Only Super exotic cars He charge over a grand for a detail.
He said that he could offer using the Zymol Estates wax to these fools and they would jump on having the Peeble Beach wax on their cars.

Well to make a long story short the wax dose not exist It s a maketing ploy.

He would have bought a container I had his CC# and was ready to sell I was told that it was ready , They were out of the Glss container blah blah.
This went on for about a month before I get them to tell I should stop tring to buy it. Cause they really dont sell it.

The ad says "refillable for life at no charge." If I ran a detailing shop, that might actually be a deal.
