Since I have not used any Zymol products, I'll just say that just because it is expensive, doesn't mean it is good (or the best).

I can't see myself spending 2000$ on a wax. I don't care how good it is.

Vintage has been discussed here previously. Also, you'll find a boatload about it on autopia or Detailing Bliss (and just about every other detailing-based forum).

Some swear by it... others call it lore.

At $2k, it's way out of my league and, in my opinion - based upon a few that I personally know that have tried it - think it's over rated. (but, I should caveot that with the fact that I have *not* used it (but would love to! ))

I noticed on the Zymol website, the vintage series waxes come with lifetime refills. (the ones in the glass anyway, dunno about others)

Question is, buying something from an ebay person, would you be able to get that?

If you got a good deal on the stuff, wouldn't be so bad.

Fair question... I don't know how it works.

Boss? Have any idea?

Do you have to pay S&H for every time you get a refill? If so, how much?

Basically, you could feasibly get away with a GREAT investment if you were to be selling the use of it, considering that you would in a short order of time pay for the S&H, then over a course of a few years, pay for the original cost. And from what I hear, it is a FANTASTIC product... There is that guy in England who gets several grand for a detail who uses it (amongst others, obviously)...

If I had $2k to toss around, I might look into it.

Think about it guys, if you can get a lifetime refill, wouldnt people buy it, sell it off in small portions, then keep getting it refilled? so theoretically, they would make a profit off it and still have some to use. Zymol is a lot smarter than that, so this guy in all reality is voiding some contract Zymol probably has.

I think he meant an eBay person selling an actual jar of it. I have thought about that before, but am not sure what would come of it. You get free refills when it is gone, so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to.

The seller even mentions that you don't get the glass case. Seems to me he's selling the wax in separate jars and getting his refilled..

There is someone doing that? Very smart indeed. He sells it all, and then gets more for free. I wish I had $2K to invest it like that.

Like I mentioned before, if you can afford the initial setback, this is a GREAT investment...

They refill at no charge (I am pretty confident you pay S&H both ways though), so you can see how this investment will VERY quickly pay for itself...Not to mention, you can be the proud owner of a freaking SWEET wax...
