well it's a hard wax so not much is used, I wouldn't know exact figures seeing as though i can only just afford insurance on my whip let alone 8k on wax

But lets face it, this wax isn't going on your run of the mill mile munching car, it will be going on some rich folks prized possesion who will enjoy nothing more than going into their local 'country club' and boasting to their fellow rich folk about how they just spent xx amount on what should be classed as a consumable.

I suppose it's no different than one guy spending a £300 on a suit and one £30,000.

More money than sense.


thats the fucking point of the wax, it reduces the amount of shit build up on the car and makes it easier to clean next time around.

I can't beleive you guys are bitching about the price of wax etc when most of you grown men are sticking some serious cash in a 10year old dated hatch back, oooo check the irony.

I say fair play to the dood on the car, its amazing !


Fully agree mate, everyone seems to jump on this "detaining is sad" bandwagon".

No ones suggesting you go and buy a 8k tub of wax and polish your corsa, its a business tool, same as we have software in work that costs 10K to buy, its a tool that can be used to make you money.

I would guess a detail like he gave the BM would be around £800 and that was finished with a coat of zymol, 10 of them and you have your 8k back...still a bad investment?

Never said it was 'sad' at all.

I think it's great as long as it dosn't cost a fortune.I wouldn't pay more than £40 for a valet etc..mind you i'd save £40 and do it myself.
