There are several of us that have (for the most part) been hiding in the background, not offering our experiences/opinions for fear of furthering the flame war. Well, I can't stand it any more.
I'm going to say the following things, and you guys are welcome to discuss it and flame it til you're blue in the face. I'm not gonna respond or say anything more than the following...
Vintage *is* really good wax. It looks phenomenal. It has the very best environmental protection of *any* LSP I've ever used, be it wax or sealant. It is by *far* the easiest-to-clean LSP I've ever used. And for those of you that follow my car washing theories, you know how much weight I put on that particular quality. Vintage's durability isn't the best, but it is certainly not bad at all when compared to other carnauba-based LSP's. The cost per tub will average out to 78 bucks each over my life time, which is reasonable for a high-end carnauba. I get to bequeathe the refill rights to an heir, who will also get refill rights for life.
I do not regret buying Vintage one bit.
And watching Vintage bead and repel water (which it does better than any other LSP I've seen) is a fun past time, too.
Vintage is right for some, wrong for others. Does it *really* need to be more complicated than that?
