Maybe you could get one jar of Vintage for each night of Hannukah.

Hmmm, not encouraging when I consider using it on 20-some year old paint that can't be properly corrected

You should really work on your prep skills before you bother with expensive waxes.
I have seen you details before and while not bad you really need to learn more about machine polishing before you bother spending a lot of money on wax.
All of the vintage owners I can think of would agree, using it on a surface that is not prepped to perfection is a waste.

Except for lbls1 who wants me to use it on the previously referred-to vehicles
Heh heh, couldn't resist
But seriously.. yeah, unless somebody is getting a finish as close to flawless as the paint can stand (and that's under demanding lighting, not fluorescents and probably not under just halogens either) then it'd be a complete waste of money. And I can't help but wonder about using it on customers; vehicles- will they pay for a difference that they almost certainly won't appreciate? (Yeah, an expert, looking at paint they're familiar with, would appreciate the difference, but those folks are few and far between.)

The ones that will appreciate the difference will pay for it. You're right, there aren't many of them.

On the other hand there are a lot of people out there who will pay the price just because it's "the best" regardless of whether they can tell themselves or not.
