More than likely.

If we get 2400 of us to chuck £10 in each we can each have 0.2g of it to do out cars with. Should be enough for a door handle or 2.

Rest of the car will look sh*t but the door handle(s) will be amazing  :grin:

Some people just want the very best of everything - car treatments included. If you love nice cars, have all the money in the world, based in London then why wouildn't you give this company a go?

For some people money if of absolutly no concern and they would probably stick that through as company expenses (valet for co car!)
If your in doubt as to how this works, consult your local MP!!!

I totally agree though, totally over priced regardless of the quality of workmanship. Then again, I suspect those premises aren't too cheap at that address!

The point i'm making is not that it won't be a good wax (i'm sure it will) however this to me just seems like a high end marketing ploy. I'll bet you that there is not much more than £500 worth of wax in that pot. Say a couple of grand for the handcrafted Itailian Marble pot.

I also doubt that the shine, gloss, depth of colour etc would be 126 times better than Swissvax Best of Show or even 16 times better than your Divine.

I'd struggle to see how the Divine would be (working off current prices of £2,100 & £190) 11 times better than Best of Show. Maybe it would last a bit longer but not 11 times longer.

If that £24k wax is really 126 times better then, working off an average of Best of show lasting 3 months, i'd never need to wax the car again for 31.5 years!!!

I like how what they're selling is "exclusivity". They keep using that word. No firm details or claims on the product itself, merely notes on how exclusive it is and what they're doing to maintain said exclusivity (mostly through controlling supply)



For sale: 1 of my socks. It is extremely exclusive as I will sell only one! Yours for £35million.

I used to sell and detail with it the pot of wax actually cost me as a reseller £300!

I did purchase some zymol destiny from the US when it was $2 to a £1 paid £200 4 years ago and still have half a tub left

You've also got to question how much R & D has been put into the 'one off' product. I very much doubt as much as Swissvax or Zymol for example.
