Price wise i think you'll find that part of the zymol licenced sellers contract states that they have to charge what zymol tell them to charge.

I've not had to buy any for ages and the place where i got mine from has stopped trading in Zymol. These guys come quite well recommended:

Zymol is not the best in the business....and most of their products are overpriced when broken down into raw materials vs packaging. You can do better by shopping around not buying into the 'hype' of the products.

John Drake of johnswax.co.uk is a well known supplier if you need Zymol.

i tend to agree with belleair. i have some very nice zymol waxes in my collection, but for what they cost me the Dodo Juice waxes i use on every detail are easily on par imo if not better. and at around £32 a jar, the Dodo is superb value for money. If you want to beat the Dodo range topping Supernatural at £65 for a plastic jar or £90ish for the Iruko (sp) wood jar then you need to spend a fair bit of cash. Swissvax waxes are also very good. but as i say to get any noticeable difference from the Dodo you'd need to spend a good few hundred imo.

With regards to your words above i would have to totally agree !!;)

I have zymol waxes in stock but stopped using them some years ago and have also found that dodo supernatural and swissvax best of show the upper limit of the price range for the best waxes out there!
With the cheaper dodo juice range of waxes are excellent performance against cost!

Thats it for natural waxes !

Dont forget about man made synthetic sealants that are out performing some natural waxes !
zaino , klasse/carlack , chemical guys etc all good products and dont cost the earth !

+1 for sure

I Can't fault the supernatural in all aspects. Its easy to use, doesn't powder, leaves a great finish and durability is as good as anything I have tried.

The support from Dom @ dodojuce is second to none honestly, what a top bloke.

I do like my Zym@l waxes & products, bit of a brand we I suppose, do they offer value for money and get better with the more you spend, I'd probably say no.
The £160 Concours is far nicer to apply than the £480 Destiny, looks wise and durability there's nothing in it tbh, and definately not 3 times better as the price suggests.
Vintage at £1800 is a lovely wax to apply, for appearance you'd be hard pushed to tell much difference from the above 2 waxes but durability is better, still not worth the ridiculous price tag though.
As already said there are plenty of waxes on the market that offer equally the same attributes for a fraction of the price, Swissvax Souveran being an excellent wax at around £60 and the one I reach for the most being Best of Show at £120.

With all that said a wax or sealant only offers a small percentage overall with the finish coming from a well prepared surface, if you really want value for money then go for a sealant type product like Zaino which offers superb durability and looks to match.

If you decide upon Zym@l then would recommend Eammon at Monza car-care.
