Re: Zymöl Vintage... what do you charge?

There are waxes out there claiming 100% nuba (the new PS comes to mind) does that somehow now make it better than vintage at microfraction of the cost? I will give you the hobbist stance of wanting that name on your shelf and paint... But calling it better is just a fools foly. It was excellent marketing but no one has ever came on here (or anywhere else) with any sort of concrete proof that any of these high dollar waxes are any better than anything else on the shelves. (because they're not). I've had hobby's that I've fallen into the marketing for as well. I used to Race BMX on a national level. My kids did too. We had to have the best of the best to compete in our minds. In reality the titanium headsets and carbon forks didn't really add anything to the performance. Definatly didn't make us better racers. But boy did those little gidgets suck the dollars right out of my wallet... Why? Good marketing to the right person. Most of Zymol's line up is the exact same. It's not better. No one can prove it to be better in any way shape or form. But it has that "Prestigious" name and people will flock to it no matter how much it just dosen't make any sense. As a hobbiest buy all the Zymol you can afford and talk about how great it looks over a couple of beers and a BBQ with the neighbors. But as a pro level detailer... Unless you're sponsored by Zymol and paid to be their pitchman... It just dosen't make any sense at all.
