Expensive wax is it worth the $$$$

This Caveman has seen the error of his ways as well as the light of his caveman fire. Not only does he realize now that he was a caveman before, but he has now switched to Geico auto insurance.

Never seen a $50,000 wax and I know the 50K reference was made with respect to R&D but I know that Zymol produced a product called Solaris. It went for 30K, Waterford Crystal container and all. They were only supposed to make 25 containers of this product and of course it came with lifetime refills.

I don't know if this reasoning makes any sense but they no longer show it as available on their site. I wonder if this means they sold all 25 units. I think it was BlackBart that picked up a couple of these when they were available. He got 2 so that he wouldn't be without while his container was being refilled.

Here's what 30 grand worth of wax looks like:

Sale? Heck, I thought you were donating these to my needy cause.

I'd like one so I could turn that container into a Christmas tree ornament, or maybe hang it from my rearview.

Over the years I have tried most of them yellow carnuba's and those twice a year brazilian carnuba's. I just don't think they are worth it, specially if they are a daily driver. as it just does not last under most conditions.
The quality of how deep the paint gloss is on the prep work. the wax or sealer is like the icing on the cake. Personally I like sealers than a wax.....mainly for the longevity .
The long and the short .no matter if you pay 5.00 or 200.00 it's how you prep the surface for the end product that gives it the gleem
