General Mills Honey nut cheerios taste better than store-brand Tasty-O's

I could go on like this forever. Sometimes there is such a thing as HIGHER QUALITY. And a company that manufactures higher quality would be a fool not to charge for it.

I find it interesting how some people can try to put a cap on how much a wax should cost. As if there is some arbitrary limit where the added quality and cost stop yielding better results.

I'm not saying that Zymol isn't overpriced. I really don't know enough about their operation, or their manufacturing costs. But I am just saying that if it were REALLY an extra $1700 JUST for a swanky box and some sexy marketing, they wouldn't sell a single unit.

I don't doubt that some of the inflated cost is simply "status" and "perceived value". But you can't put a number on that, and neither can I.

You don't work for Zymol. You don't know how they make their product. you don't know what goes into it. And you don't know what it does to paint on a microscopic level. So to sit there and claim that Fuzion, Supernatural, and Souveran are equal is completely naive.

I think alot of the anti-zymol sentiments here are motivated by jealousy.
