Thanks Phil.

Also I completely understand. You have no need to apologize and I hope your little one get over he first cold soon. The first ones are always scary. Can you just hit me up by Sunday? I have a seminar to give on Friday, and a complete make-over on Saturday therfore Sunday would be great.

Anybody knows if Zymol still sells the sampler SKSK2 (3 highest waxes, destiny, atlantique, Vintage in 4oz each) for under $200?
My 2 nd kit is running out and edmmons-Coachwork seems to drop this one from the catalog.

No expert but those 3 waxes are the best I've used, yes Lusso/Sovereign are very good but these zymol just bring out the depth and turn my car like liquid metal. But I am not crazy to buy $1900 wax(though it's lifetime)

I saw some on ebay a couple of weeks ago. They had vintage along with a couple of other high end zymol wax's. I wanted to buy them, but by the time I remembered to paypal, the auction was over.

This is the only one that is a sample size (6oz).

EDIT: I read more on the auction and is seems kinda sketchy. He put it in a different jar because the original one broke, but then it becomes hard to tell if it is real or not. Anyone can take a sticker off a old jar and fill it with any wax. I would stay away from it, but keep your eyes peeled on ebay for a good deal on samples.

OP, I just recieved some DP max wax from a fellow member(joyride) and really like the look it gives, it looked great on my jet black. I'm sure durability isn't the best but really that's the case with most carnubas but I topped it with optiseal so that should improve it some.

Looks like Zymol dropped this kit though Google shows UK online store advertizing it for 169 Pound = $340 US. Oh well, maybe I'll look around for alternative.

BTW, I wonder if the guy on Ebay scoop his vintage into little container to sell while keep getting free re-fill from Zymol

Actually, the little lady at home told me to just go ahead order the vintage as long I am getting free refill, what a woman; but I draw the line when it comes to car-wax

i didn't want to start a new thread for a simple question.

on the CG website i read that Pete's 53 doesn't haze and should be buffed off immediately. does this sound right? it shouldn't be allowed to dry a few mins?
