If oyu think im a fool for wanting it well good for you, I might just be. I would like to try this regadless of who says its worth the money or not. I have come to relize long ago that everyone is differnet especalyy when it comes to detailing, everyone has there own products and proccess. Hell I dont like Zaino (i have my reasons) but i dont go around bashing it saying its a waste of money. If it works for you then hey use it. I know this post will piss a few people off but hey im ok with that (theregoes my karma lol). Im sorry that I have to rant but im just sick of everyone telling me im an idiot for wanting to try this when 90% of them only look at the price nad not the product.
Thank you everyone who has posted an opion, thats what makes autopia great but this thread is not about that, hell if you want a bashing thread tell me adn Ill start one. Please lets stck to the topic at hand

Sorry for the rant

-mike
Sorry for throwing in another opinion, but I like your attitude!!

As for buying Vintage . . . have you checked e-bay? Sometimes I see 4oz non-refillable jars listed on there. It's much cheaper to try it out this way and it's enough wax to do many cars.

As I wrote in another thread today value is a thing that one can only measure for ones' self. It is not something you can judge for other people or have others judge for you.

Just wondering.........
Yes. It's refillable on demand for life for the registered owner. You pay for shipping. I got mine 2 years ago and am about half way through. I've done about 70 applications, maybe more.

Re: WTB: Zymol Vintage

Thanks Calgary. I've been a bit reluctant to respond here because of the perception of zymol and my affiliation. It seems this is a great community and there's mutual respect amongst the detailers here. I think that's the way it should be and we can all learn from one another. I'm excited to talk shop....

I don't know why someone would call another an idiot for trying something that may cost too much money. Would you call someone an idiot for buying a $900K Enzo? Some may and most won't. Is the guy getting the best car on the planet; that's a mtter of opinion. But if you've never driven an enzo, sat in one, or heard one, how can you judge someone else? The answer is you cannot. I wish zymol did give out samples of these high end waxes but they don't and they have good reason not to. If you take the leap of faith, and invest in the high-end crystal line, wouldn't you be upset if you found out others are getting it for free? Bottom line is everything is relative. There's no such thing as the BEST of anything. Choose what works for you, respect those and try to understand why they do what they do. Life's too short. Enjoy it anyway you can; even if it means spending money on something others think you're crazy for buying

Could you clarify, please? If you represent a manufacturer or vendor, or have a financial interest in the products you're discussing, please make note of it in your signature.

Thanks,

I am anxious to try my Glasur. With that said, I was wondering what your thoughts are on the various estate glazes and how they compare. I think my next purchase will be Zymol Concours, but I thought I would give Glasur a try first since I read some favorable reports about it.

If you notice, when you get to the higher-end estate glazes, the ratio of white/yellow carnauba changes. For example, Glasur is 100% yellow by volume. Concours, the next level up, changes to 90% WHITE and 10% yellow. That major difference will give you a much deeper color, clarity, and protection. Glasur is a great wax, I mostly sell clients the estate glaze line and the waxes that sell the most are Concours, Destiny, and Vintage. Hope this helps. If you like Glasur, you will LOVE the others. Good luck
