| | | change of heart on Zymol?
With all these recent threads on cars being detailed with Zymol. (no-one shall be nammed)
has anyones opions changed on Zymol.
Have seeing what it can do made you re-evaluate the valitity of the wax?
Please do not turn this into a zymol bash, do not just say sovergien is the end all be all. Thats not the point of this thread and im sick of people doing that. Its just plain rude.
If it does happen mods please shut it down, it is in no way my intention. This is mento be an intelegent discussiong on Zymol with the new info we have all seen.
Im saddened I have to write such a blurb but thats what it has come to. |

| | | My opinion has not changed. I find it curious that you can buy them from $10-7,800 approx. To me that is one heck of a price differential. I belive if you are charging $5,000-7,000 for a detail, your customers expect the estate type waxes and I belive they make sense to purchase especially with free refill. I belive that Zymol is catering too the whole spectrem of detailers. Pinnicle is more price consistant from $40-80 for paste wax. One thing intrigues me about Zymol is that they offer a spectrem of waxes depending on vehicle color an type. Seems that everyone on AG forum has a personal preference on wax depending on the color of the vehicle an what body panel.
I know it is a good product otherwise they would have went out of business long ago. I still would have to think long an hard to spend over $100 for any wax

| | | For what I do, for now, Pinnacle's products are excellent for the money. I can see though, when the time and customers call, the validity for carrying and using such a high-end product.
It's all sorta like cars. A 98 Civic will get you from A to B and get you 40 mpg but why do I detail so many 50k+ 12 mpg H2's?
It comes down to want versus need. |

| | | Please lets not turn this thread into what's better and why should it cost this much. This thread has a good point and meaning. Like I've said before, do you think Paul looks down on any of us for using a 20.00 wax. Nope. Do you think he even cares? Nope. So let's be adults about this and let this post do what the poster wants it too. He even begged us in the beginning not to let this turn into something other than his intentions.
On the UK site, I have not once seen a member say anything about the products used. They simply comment on the work. That is where true detailing is. Let's keep it that way here! |

| | Hasn't changed.. I've owned some of their waxes for close to 6 months now. The median of products above $200, isn't worth it IMO, until you go back to the Zymol Royale for $1,800, which I have considered and reconsidered many times.
After our move, and I complete college, and save up a few backs, I'm moving back down to Miami and will detail full time with exotics. This wax will come in handy, I must say. | | |
