Zymol £5800 Royale wax results on BMW 545 in carbon black...

[miracle]

Hi All,

just thought some of you might like to see the results of the Royale wax that I applied to a BMW 545 in carbon black yesterday, this was after spending 5 hours correcting the paintwork making sure its 100% perfect ready for the Royale wax.

Pictures taken at 5pm yesterday.







Kind Regards

Shame about the orange peel evident on the door in the 3rd picture but then I guess BMW's are mass-produced rather than hand finished

Paul (Miracle),

Clearly you're a bit of an expert on all things Zymol.....

Tell me - in your honest opinion, are the higher % white carnauba waxes worth it?

I mean - theres Vintage and Destiny. Both extremely high content White wax.

But...over 4 grand difference?

Is the finish you get justified by the high price increase between the two?

As you're in business, I can see why it makes sense to purchase one that is refillable for life (does this apply to you? You must go through a fair bit ).

BTW - I use Carbon and Titanium. The finish from Titanium does last a little longer, I've found.

All the best,
Greg

It is possible to remove some of the orange peel from the clear coat, but all depends on how many microns of paint there is.

I know, I saw your other pictures on the Aston Martin thread. It was a cheap shot at BMW's and I regret it.

Hi Greg,

more % of carnauba means more depth of shine and more durability. I have a fridge load of all the different Zymol waxes if you or anyone else wants to buy them off me. I have had to make room for the Royale in the wax fridge!

Regards
Paul

p.s. All my customers are more than happy with Vintage... but the Royale is out of this world and even better. You have to see it to believe it. The proof is in the pudding!

Miracle, show them the pot!!!

It looks nicer than my turtle wax bottle and so it should for 6k

[Nick P]

are we seriously talking £5800 for a tub of polish?

[lanciachris]

A very clean car obviously, but its so frustrating how your hard work is let down by that terrible orangepeel.

[john_p]

Certainly looks the business.

I think every single BMW I've seen has had orange peel everywhere!

Is that the pot that gets free refills for life?

[Muncher]

The problem is, driving anywhere at the moment and the car just gets covered with crap

yes

well, a crystal container of wax...

'tubs' and 'polish' are different apparently

I've just tried the £1600 Vintage,
its amazing,
only got a sample at the moment, but i'm going to do all my cars in it,
the finish is incredible

[richb]

Zymol Vintage, oh isn't it rich?
I've only a sample here,
But if it works as good as it looks
I'll use it all through the year!

[klassiekerrally]

That shine is so deep, I'm scared of drowning in it!
Looks great. A friend of mine has done his cars with Swissol, with a similar result.
Great stuff...

I agree,its rediculous that a tub of wax can cost this much.If you make a product 'elitist' your always going to appeal to a certain type of customer(i think thats as tactfull as i can be).I bought some p21s from the polishing co. and its fabulous and it only costs £20 a tub.Theres no way any product would be £5k better!

You have to see the results to believe it
I tried the £1600 Vintage wax today for the first time and i've ordered some
The finish is amazing, if you saw it you'd understand why I've bought it,
£1600 includes free top ups for life so when you sell Porsches it ends up at £15 a car so its not that bad when you think about it that way,
but you wont get the results from something costing £10 at Halfords,
I've been using Zymol for 5 years

How does it work at this time of year? The booklet that came with my Zymol wax said it should ideally be applied at 20 degrees or warmer for the wax to bond properly to the paint. Is this correct, or is there a way around it? I don't have any heated luxury garage for my cars, but would quite like to polish them before summer.

[Nick P]

so let me get this right.....you guys pay £5800 for a tub of polish? What is it made of?????? Dodos' bollock juice? I just can't get my head round the concept of spending so much on some car polish....sorry
