I just do not see it. I owe a 2004 Porche and 2006 Cayanne and a 2006 E350, so I would want the best. This just is not the best. You can buy far better for much less. The guys who package this stuff are great salemen, not great chemists.

It is your money and your call. Just think carefully- how can any wax be worth the kind of money they want?
I read the Guru report on waxes a while back. The one thing I remember about it was that I didn't agree what so ever with several of the basic premises of their test. Here's the thing . . . everyone is looking for something different in an LSP. The test if I recall used categories like durability which is meaningless to some people or looks which is completely subjective and therefore will vary from person to person.

The bottom line is the only way you'll know if you like an LSP or not is to use it. Now in the case of Zymol that can be a significant investment. Personally, I would never pay $1000 for wax even if it does come with lifetime refills at least at my current income level but there are cheaper Zymols which are almost as good IMO.

To even infer that the people at Zymol don't know what they're doing when it comes to making a wax I think is pure ridiculousness. They make the best waxes around IMO and they have many, many customers who would agree several of which are holding trophies from Pebble Beach.
