$120 Carnauba wax, really?

[Finklejag]

I watch his youtube channel for entertainment purposes only. I went on his website to see how much this new wax cost, and you could’ve knocked me over with a feather with the outrageous price. All of his products are super high. I guess he has to pay the mortgage on that $2 million dollar shop he built.

Not worth it

The price he sets is irrelevant.
He can ask any price he likes.
It only becomes interesting when people start paying that price.

Ahh, the Scotty Kilmer of the detailing world.

Zymol Destiny is 882.00 a jar..

$120 is outrageously expensive for a carnauba?

Autogeek house brands offer more expensive carnauba.

 

[atikovi]

And he DOES say a jar will do 50 cars.

Marketing. If it's that expensive, it has to be great.

I've got a few on my shelf. Don't have any AMMO.

If I ever caught a sale or he cleared out old stock I'd pick some up.

That's stupider than something Scotty Kilmer would say.

I've got to ask, what's the point of your post? Just to have everyone say "harrumph" with you?

Larry Kosila has built a successful business and regularly parters with other top detailers. He also has a very successful detailing channel on YouTube, where he shares his knowledge, processes, and the multi-million dollar cars he works with freely, without shilling for other companies.

Have you ever looked at the German Zymol line...Some 800.00 and up...

Definitely not for your daily driver.

As always, these things can be objectively tested. For longevity, beading, reflectivity and UV protection. While carnauba wax has long been the standard since before the "Simoniz" days. It tends to be nice and smooth feeling after buffing and beads water well, at least for a little while.

However, today's better products can easily outshine and outlast a pure carnauba wax. Some of the short life "car show" waxes are simply carnauba wax with a number of additives and oils that enhance the shine.

If you wax your car 3 times a year for 10 years, you still won't have used all this product and will have spent $1/mo.

It's ok to buy nice things.

The big thing I question is their choice of packaging. Drop that glass jar of wax on a concrete surface and cry a thousand tears. They should package the product in a can.

Chemical Guys has a couple of high priced waxes. You thought $120 was outrageous?

Adam's also offered a Graphene Coating Wax in a sick billet aluminum pot for their 22nd anniversary. A cool $250.
