Didn't you just get that tub? How many cars did you get out of it? Isn't there a time limit between refills? I have 4 cars and polish or wax most of them, atleast my garage queens after every wash so I would be going through it pretty fast too. This tread seems like it will never die. Post some pics of that Vintage shine.

I don't think this is true otherwise Paul Dalton wouldn't advertise using Royale, unless of course he pays for a new tub every time, which I highly doubt.

You have to pay Zymol fees and then they allow you to use their wax commercially, but the fee aint cheap.

I hear its $10-12k a year and that is only a "licensing fee" you still have to pay for the wax.

I had had the tub for just under 3 months.. how many cars.. umm i prob got 30, however I know you can get more. I tried aton of diffrent methods, I applied way more then I had to see what happened, I may or may not have dropped about an oz (i put it in the smaller containrer and dropped it lol).... I have found the best method is a polish pal with a 4inch finishing pad... I would say you can easly get 50 cars if not more this way (ohh and it still looks great, I just use a halogen to heat up the pad so the wax melts)

As for the 3 weeks, its not that bad. I talked to diane and she said to scoop the last couple oz out so I have enough... works for me... plus its going to take 6days to get there (canadian mail is slow, and yes this is the fastest) then it needs to be made, poured and cooled, finnaly shipped back, which should take a week.. so 3 weeks to me in not that long

Accm, what did you get? is this the A8 or is it another one.... and you still need vintage, ask lbls1.

And finnaly, with the refills and business,. If you are an authorized detailer or reseller you can get it refilled. I have heard its 12k but for some this is more then worth it.....

How did I miss all of these goodies...let me catchup a bit. She's alive!!!!!!!

lbls1 · 01-27-08, 09:44

Alright!!!!!! MDRX and Mike! I am sentencing you two to Waxaholics anonymous....just tell them lbls1 sent you..........they'll understand lol!!!!

Accumulator...............fretting and moaning about 2k and then you buy another vehicle..............hmmm very interesting indeed. By the time you decide you need a premium wax you would've *accumulated* so many cars that in fact it would make better sense for you to spring for Royale.................at 7500 bucks a pop!!!! Now if you'd taken my advice EARLIER.........hmmm!!

Ok I'll knock it off. Mike and MDRX you see just how good this stuff can get right????? I'm impressed though, figuring I have had a year's jump on you two, and you guys are on your first and second refill alreadys!!!
