What doesn't make sense is buying something just because it costs more. Most people who have money didn't get it by spending extra money for a wax that, so far at least to me, has only been shown to excel in marketing. I'd like to see a 50-50 on a high end car between this and say, a $200 wax. Would there even be a discernable difference? At some point, you're spending money just to spend money.

That is a huge part of marketing though. Look at Cadillac. A lot of people pay for a Cadillac SUV when they could of had an almost identical Chevy for a lot less. Why? Because they want that Cadillac shield on the grill. While I usually agree with, "You get what you pay for." I also believe their is a limit. I can see paying $2000 for a wax with a life time of free refills, if they are FREE and if I used the wax as much as I use water. But I can promise that the majority of the people buying these waxes are buying them because..."it cost so much it must be the best..." BUT, if I had had a ton of money I'd be buying all of the expensive stuff just to say I have it. LOL Like I ride a Kawasaki Drifter and love it. But if I had some big bucks I'd rather be in a $200,000 custom one off bike. They both would get me from point A to B but one would cost $170,000 more. LOL If you got the cash I say go for it.
