Re: Ummmm, Why so much?

You're gonna sit there and tell me that the lighting and pic quality are the same? Look at the difference in contrast/color/lighting. Not just the car, but all of the surrounding stuff. If you think it's anything close to being the same, then you need to get your eyes checked.

Get a grip man. This post is oooollllld. You like the delayed responses don't you!?! Go back and (read this time) see the pics, and it will all be plain to you.

Like I said earlier, pics won't convince you WITHOUT doing the real-life comparison.....if you dare.

Thanks for the comments a couple of posts above though!!

Just because you think it costs too much, or are satisfied with your own wax of choice, doesn't give you any right to harp on lbls1's Zymol presentation.

p.s - Car looks great man!
Now this is an objective statement....for once!!

Too cool............thanks!

Re: Ummmm, Why so much?

I have a customer in Bucks County Pa that used Zymol's 1600 dollar wax on his 5 Ferrari's for many years, that includes two Enzo's, red and black , he has been using Zaino for about 2 years now. I can tell you by the amount of trophies he has won over the past 2 years, his cars never looked better, and that is from the owners mouth. You could smear mud on a Ferrari and it would still look pretty good.

I didn't say "Same". I used words like "Similar" and "approximate".

You're gonna sit there and tell me that the car doesn't look ANY better, considering such dramatic light differences?

Honestly, if you saw the same car in person in equal lighting conditions with different wax, as long as the paint is prepped the same, YOU WILL NOT TELL A DIFFERENCE.

The lighting and picture quality is MUCH better in his "after" pics.

Re: Ummmm, Why so much?

Ohh my!!!! I really don't want to stir this old pot. One, I fulfilled a request for pics. One (a), if you read the synopsis in the captions with the pics, they explain the conditions of the pictures and why they should not be regarded as comparison pics.
Two, Mr. Rick is correct in that the first pic, and the side profiles and lawn pic of yours truly were held under similar lighting conditions. The front quarter profiles (concrete sweeper wall and in front of the houses adjacent to my garage) were under overcast lighting conditions. I included those pics so as to show an example of the optical range qualities that distinguishes some Zymol waxes (which is why I prefer them).

As far as telling a difference, it is pure folly for me to swear up and down that there will be a guaranteed difference in your car (especially if you're dead against even finding out in the first place), or for anyone to say that there isn't a difference between an authentic Zymol vs. another product without actually comparing the different lsps. However, I can say very positively that there was a undeniable marked difference in my paint's finish resolution in using this brand of Zymol (whether anyone believes it or not is immaterial and of no concern of mine).

Lastly, and again....................if you really want to tell the difference, then the ONLY WAY to do it is to take the acid test yourself on your car, and both observe and measure whether an improvement was made, given proper preparation.

Thanks, thank you.
