Zymol Vantage
Someone send this guy some P21S and call it a day.
I have to agree though, this guy certainly has a lucrative business on his hands.

Thats spot on. This guy is no doubt good but I doubt any better that many on here. What he has is good marketing, A reputation, and gets a lot of work from providing a good service to a (wealthy) client who then recommends him to his (wealthy) mates, often in posh car clubs I suspect. He has a limited market, but I am sure he lives very well on it and good luck to him!!! Think we can all learn something from the way he goes about getting business...
2 Classic Minis, Rover 200vi, Mazda mx5, Ford Mondeo Estate
he markets himself to those who have more money than brains-sad thing is that he probably believes his own marketing in regards to the Zymol BS. With the type of customers he deals with if he charged less he probably would end up losing business. With certain people the aura of exclusivity sells.
It got to the stage where manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Ferrari were recommending that owners only use cold water to wash their cars
Dumb question of the day... I always use hot soapy water to wash my car....Should I be using colder water? should I use "moderate" water. This was something I never paid much attention to....What would I use and why???

Wax is a sacrificial barrier between your polish work and the elements.
The guy knows how to market, he created for himself a very nice niche BUT again as for the work, I am not impressed at all, sorry.

They purposely want to overpay for something so they can brag. It has to look great, smell great and make them feel great.
After going deeper into his site....
I have a real hard time believing 3 layers of any carnauba is going to last a year unless it is a garage queen. Plus, I too noticed most of his pics have the car in the shade.
But still, that`s a helluva Website!
I`m quite impressed by the marketing, not the layering or `leveling`.
