So I think I want to pull the trigger on the Concours. I was willing to spend the $175 + shipping. Someone told me to go to OCD garage because the coupon worked on Zymol products. To my surprise it was on sale for $150, with the coupon it came to $146 shipped. Now, the fun part... I wanted to try Optimum polishes anyway so I saw OC and OHC on discount. Threw in a bottle of ONR coz I`m almost out... Turns out shipping is free over $200. Sooo... Here is my original order, and the total shipped.

Not too bad eh? Should I pull the trigger? Purchase is sitting on my screen. Just need some bad autopian influence to hit purchase...

If you can justify it in your head to spend that much on wax go for it. I could never do it because I know full well the difference in end results to me don`t justify the overwhelming cost difference. But again... That`s just me. If you can do it. go for it.

Since when does the OP cost more than the others? I remember them all being the same or the compounds being more...but I`m getting old and forgetful. Sounds like a good deal at 15% off and free shipping...go for it if you want a $175 wax! (I`ve never spent over $30 on any LSP...so don`t take this as an endorsement, lol)

Yeah, my "premium" wax for customers is Victoria Red Concours and I also have some Blackfire and have not used it yet. I almost added Souveran to this order as well since it comes to under $60 shipped.



The Zymol is for my car, though. I just wanted to give it a present. Something nice.

Never heard of OCD garage until your post. Thanks. I recently bought some items from Autogeek. Doing the math it was cheaper for me to do the free shipping in place of their 15% sale. Can only use 1 coupon there.

Good to know about all that negative feedback. Too bad, such a great deal for those products! Well.... here we are at ground zero again.



Has anyone ordered anything from them recently and received the items quick?

Blackfire is the only one I have not tried yet...



Victoria Red is my premium wax and the only wax I currently use on my car. I love the looks. I live in Denver so no wax really lasts more than a few weeks because of the heat. With the exception of Collinite of course. I am looking purely for depth and wetness, not concerned about durability. Maybe I`ll give Souveran a try.

On a side note, get a gallon of ONR instead of 32oz. it is amazing stuff!
