Anyone want a free tub of $850 car wax??

[SirTanon]

Okay so it's ridiculous, I know.. who on earth would spend $850 on a tub of wax? It's like spending $2500 on a bottle of wine.

That said, if I can get it for free, I'd be all over it!

I submit once a day, every day. Everyone, go and submit yourself for the sweepstakes. You can do it once a day until Feb 28th.

Why's it so expensive? Do they make it from saffron?

 

[SirTanon]

Unicorn tears and pegasus feathers, I think.

 

[michaelluscher]

Ehh. Free wax is free wax

$850 is pocket change. Try this:

You'd think for $8996, they could at least ship for free!!

 

[SirTanon]

Only $8996??? Bah, that's for scrubs...

$90,000 Car wax

Enjoy paying the taxes.

I almost registered, but I don't hand out my date of birth willy nilly. And like MrQuackers pointed out..... The taxes. The taxes alone will be more than several years of quality wax.

People still wax cars?

 

[SilverC6]

I'd pay that if a couple bottles of Pappy Van Winkle were included.

Nothing says the apex of car wax technology like a metal container with a skulls head on it.

And a $7 bottle of NuFinish will blow it out of the water.

You failed to notice that after you buy it once, you get a lifetime of free refills for it. So if you were say had a large collection of rare or cool cars and wax them often...it might not be so bloody painful.

I would be shocked if this was really something special. Regardless, it could be free so I entered. It would be nice if someone on BITOG wins so they can post back.

On a side note, the placebo effect is huge with car waxes.

You're paying for the free lifetime refills!!

Actually, given that it Contains white carnauba sap, Montan Evergreen Oil, Sunflower Oil, Cantaloupe Oil, Coconut Oil, Honeydew extract, Strawberry extract, Propolis (derived from bees) and pure glycerin. Royale Glaze contains 70% Brazilian No.1 White Carnauba by volume.

Im pretty sure I can find most of those things in my kitchen. I may just slather my cars in a mix of plant oil and strawberries. Is sunflower or coconut oil better for my paint???

I got some of the $90,000 wax to try out as a top coat over the Collinite 475s that I use. The 98 Cavalier never looked better.

Nuff said,

Did not think it was possible!

 

[hattaresguy]

It gets nuts after a certain point.

This time of year after a couple of miles your $850 wax job will be covered with salt and sand.

Yikes! I hadn't seen that one. It looks like the stuff I pick up in my backyard -- droppings of a Sheltie.

..and Yes, I knew the Zymol included free refills. I still won't be buying it.
