Sorry, but I think this goes a bit beyond the old "you get what you pay for" adage.

Damn, that is crazy. Must be intended for the dumb rich people who thinks the more you pay the better the quality is.
At least it's a lifetime supply so you can own a detail shop and use it up as you wish??

There was a post about this before. For 1600$ you get your own crystal case, and free refilling for life. So when you think about it, if you wax your car enough it would probably pay for its self.

Obviously not a instant profit, but considering its a LIFETIME supply.. Hell, me at 17 could buy that, and continue to refill that wax for another 40 years..I personally think that 1600$ would be worth that.

The people that have the money to waste on that don't waste their time waxing their own car!
EDIT - The one Jason posted has lifetime refills, but the Atlantique is almost $900, and it DOESN'T have free lifetime refills. Ouch!

Well.....that price is crazy. However, I am a Zymol user, and I have to admit that their wax is quite different than most carnaubas on the market. It is the ONLY carnauba that I will use for car #1.
I wish that I had that kind of disposable cash to spend on wax (scruw the wax, just give me the money!), but for now I'll have to be satisfied with the Zymol that I can afford. To each his or her own.
The only true way that anyone will be able to determine its effectiveness is to actually buy it and use it. Although I can't afford that brand of Zymol, my adage still remains..."If you've got it, flaunt it!"

Hey I could buy that and then start my own business selling "$1600 wax" to people for say $50 per container full... just keeping getting refills.
Almost definitely a load of crap. There's nothing unique about Porsche's paint. At least certainly not unique in the context that it would benefit from some 'special'/'custom' design of wax. Same place I believe marketed a special "NSX Glaze" that works similar to the stuff in Jason's link (warm in the palm of your hand). Did a side by side comparison test and it got its *** kicked in terms of durability and looks by Zaino among others, even though it cost many times as much and was much harder to use.

You can't compare waxes just by other published tests. The real acid test must come from your own live comparison. I have seen countless times a product that received accolades, from just about everyone and their mother, fail in a real life comparison against a proven product (including my own experience with a certain synthetic endorsed by 3/4ths of the camaro/firebird community).
Your trial and error experiences will ultimately serve as the basis for you in finding the best product for your money. It certainly proved that way for me.

Hey, if you found customers, and flew under Zymol's radar.... you have yourself a limitless amount of free income!

I wonder what Zymol's response woudlbe when you are ordering a new batch every other day!

I don't particularly care for the synthetic look of Zaino and prefer the wet look of a true carnauba as a topper.
