Louis de Cristophe Premier Avril Edition - luxury car wax (107% carnauba content) - the world's most expensive car wax
Louis de Cristophe was an Albanian count who invented the modern corded machine polisher in 1927, to remove blemishes from the coachwork of his Bugatti Royale. This 'rotary coachwork renovator' was sold nationally from 1928-1935 under the 'Lou-de-Cris' brand, with at least 56 examples...

I'm sure long before that 10 years is up there'll be something new and better, or it will dry up and need to be tossed. Either way might prompt those people who bought it to toss it and try the next new and improved wax....... FTR I'm a big fan of nice things, just not overly high priced Carnauba wax. And as always we can agree to disagree.
I bought a couple of tins of Wolfgang Fuzion years ago when it was on sale because it was cracked down the middle. Otherwise I wouldn’t have bought
Yea, might want to wear gloves!

There have been many other pure carnauba wax products sold for primo prices.
I don’t find the ammo guy to be that bad/for entertainment. Not that I spend a ton of time watching anything on youtube. But he does show a lot of techniques that he uses, and talks about how he does stuff, so I’d say he provides some value there.
I’m sure the wax isn’t worth the $$ but if some fancy NJ/NY/CT car collectors want to pay primo prices for it, that’s up to them.

I bought some black fire “fancy” (NOT $120) Carnauba wax probably over a decade ago to use on my pristine 1981 240D. The car is garaged and it looks perfect anytime I take the car out. It beads for years. It looks great on that single stage paint. Maybe some newer stuff would do as well/look better. I don’t know. But for what it is, it worked great and continues to do so.
I suspect that Ammo/Larry’s clientele have fancier versions of my single stage early 80s German original paint, and this wax will suit them just fine. They could be wasting their big bucks on far worse vices I guess.
Larry?
The owner of AMMO NYC? He's the guy in every video.
not gonna lie, one-of-a-kind paperweight
You can get carnauba wax cheap, but from the few times Ive been around the expensive stuff it appears to buff off much easier and if you are in a time is money business like auto detailing then saving x-time per car getting the wax off becomes a no brainer.
There is a wash tub type carwash chain down here. They get $75 to wash your car, and do a very simple carnaruba wax with a cordless machine. People line up out the door for it every weekend.
I could see if they did a sealant that lasted 3-4 months
Yeah it is a bit much what some will pay just so they don't have to do it. Granted it can take a toll on health as I don't do mine as often as I'd like, but when I do it's hand wash and $5 worth of Griot's 3-in-1 and the thing is good to go for quite awhile.
I used to try different waxes and sealants. Used a lot of Megs M21 sealant but ultimately settled on Collinite 845. Easy on/off with DA and a good 6 months of protection
