So I don't need experience with the product to know price, or how often it has been heralded during my 9 years on this message board (yes, 9 years, we had to re-register when they changed bulletin board software).
You fail to see how I can tell somebody that other products accomplish the same thing. I stand behind this statement. If there is one thing I've learned on this board, it's the ability of the detailer, and not the products, that produces the best shine.
Is there a single product that towers head and shoulders above every other product in that category? No. As long as it's a quality product, the only differences are mostly subtle at best and open to conjecture.
Give Scottwax or ACCUMULATOR all Turtle Wax products, and a neophyte all Zaino, Which car would you bet would look better? If you say the Turtle Wax car, then you agree with my original comment.

You could make the argument that Zymol at $175 is expensive, but the product we are discussing is less than $20. What Scottwax can do with a car is about 00.10 percent of the detailing population. 90% or more who buy Zaino or any other wax/sealant for that matter, are just average joes who work for a living and like a clean car.. That argument simply doesn't hold any water. Thats like saying look what LeBron James can do with a basketball. Well, thats the rare minority, most people will never reach that level. We are talking about the average joe shooting baskets in his driveway.Does the poster indicate anywhere hes a pro and looking for advice? ... No ...I don't go around giving people advice about products I have never used, I'm not qualified, I don't care what I've read on the internet. To me its just a prostitution of Autopia to go out and give advice to a guy about product X when you are basing an opinion on what you have read on a detailing forum and have not used the product at all.
