I don't see why it wouldn't be real. A lot of internet sales sites are less expensive than the manufacturers own site. I've never heard of either site though, so I won't be able to vouch for their credibility or customer satisfaction.
 
No matter how cheap it gets, it still isn't worth it. I've been comparing products against the creme de la creme of waxes (as far as Zymol is concerned) for a couple years now and honestly I'd take a jar of S100 over Zymol Vintage. It's simply not worth the price tag. You'll get just as good of looks and protection out of a number of waxes and even more sealants. That wax you linked there is basically Souveran from the looks of it. It shares the same product description. Just because Zymol markets the crap out of their products doesn't mean you can trust them to be 'the best'.
 
well i place the order so i guees we will see. I know that not evryone thinks its worth it but i decided that its as cheap as im going to find it and i have alwys wanted to try it so hell why not. Will see how it goes and ill make a decsion. I will put up a full review and tell dc how i like it.

edit. It was only 67.99us for the zymal ital, and its 69.99 for the souvgein (sp) paste wax so reallt there about the same price. I dont think i would spend 360 us off the zymol site
 
Wow! I didn't realize the Ital was that expensive. I had a friend several years ago who had a Testarossa and he bought Ital. I thought he only paid around $60-$70 for it. In general, Zymol has raised their prices quite a bit since I bought my first jar of their wax.
 
Funny quote used in one of the glaze/wax from Zymol regarding Porsche paint:

The brillant finish on Porsche cars have very special needs that are now answered with Glasur, Glasur Glaze is specially formulated to protect and enhance this rock hard finish of German fame.

Rock hard finish? :lmfao Yea right! Porsche paint is soft as hell. Gee, did I not get the optional "rock hard finish" from the Tequipment selection?

So don't give much thought to these "wonder waxes". Their marketing guy/gal is quite creative when it comes to these descriptions.

well I just got a phone call from drivewerks and apparently they screwed up the price on the web site. It's really 360us and well i just can't afford that or justify it so no wax for me. I'm thinking of ordering some souveran or zaino instead so we'll see.
 
It took them 10 days to let you know the price was wrong? That seems a bit slow.
Since it was their mistake, did they offer some sort of "alternative?"
(Of course, that could be construed as a "bait and switch. ;) )

nope they just said sorry we made a mistake do u want to pay the full price and I was like umm no screw that. They said well we can ship the rest of the order if you like and I was like no thank you I dont want any of it. I also said they should honour their mistake it's not my fault and they said they couldn't do so in the grand scheme of things they will lose more then 130 bucks worth of business because I will not order from them again and I will not tell anyone to order from them. I guess in the end it's their loss but now I'm stuck with what I should order next. I just dont know lol
 
Those do not look like very great bargains (some of those offers are fair however). Just look out for shipping charges, as that will probably come close to the regular asking prices of the zymol premium products.

Ital's formula changed recently. It was 90 % #1 yellow carnauba, and if memory serves me right, it was at or around $75 or $80. It appears that they flipped the formulation, so now it is 90% #1 white (virgin) carnauba, and at $360 bucks.

It is a good thing that I am well versed in Zymol's abilities, else I'd probably would be spewing a slew of four letter words right around now. Thank God for the sampler kits and a wide variety of products to choose from.
 
i know they changed the formula recently. i wasnt sure the exact changes so thank you. What bugs me is it was like ohh ya we made a mistake so w.e. I would have liked to have seen a compisation. Maybe saying sorry for the mistake the rest will be shipped free. I guees im just used to the great sponsors we have here. I just expect alot, i know with my clients if they dont like anything about it (hasnt happened yet) but i will give them a deal the next go ot make amends.
 
Well, that let's you know how many people are interested in Zymol. Even at deeply eroneous dicounted prices people won't buy it. Any time it takes a website who knows how long to notice that their price is several hundred percent lower than it should be, you know it isn't a big seller.
 
So how is this now a bash Zymol thread? Zymol is very secure in their market place (how or who else could demand - and get such ridiculous prices for their products?). Their products can produce the results to prove it as well.

As for this vendor, he or she should correct their ad on their website, and/or make good on the prices advertised.
 
What people pay and what a product is actually worth are sometimes two very different things. And this isn't a Zymol bash thread. My opinions about Zymol are my educated opinions after several years of product testing background. What the rich do with their money is none of my business. If they want to spend it on a product like Zymol then great. Good for Zymol for marketing to a niche consumer crowd. For the rest of the car care community I think there are probably more economical choices that do just as well at protecting and beautifying your car than some of the higher priced Zymol waxes.

What is a product's worth if it is not the price that people are willing to pay for it? Clearly there are plenty of people willing to pay Zymol's prices or they would be out of business.

Anyway, I've enjoyed the results I get with Zymol. It all comes down to personal preference. I don't even have a job and I'm still buying this stuff. :D
 
If S100 charged $1500 bucks a jar it would still perform as well as it does at $15 bucks a jar. Price doesn't necessarily have anything to do with performance. And that is all I'm going to say about that. This isn't a Zymol hate thread. Their wax is way overpriced, but perfectly functional. Someone has to be demented to pay $1500 bucks for a jar of wax, but if it makes them happy then more power to them. My hat goes off to Zymol's marketing team.

Same type of person/fool that would pay that guy in England $5000 for a detail.
 
It appears that a good portion of the car care community supports Zymol products, apart from anyone's opinion, good or bad. The argument should not necessarily revolve around price if you are judging performance. Regardless of what Zymol asks for their products and what naysayers think of them, they do perform.

It is also pointless to compare p21s/s100 to an Estate Glaze Zymol product (I fluently use p21s on my daily driver, and there is a significant difference in appearance between the waxes IMO.) simply because of the difference in content. The other handcrafted zymol waxes would make a closer and more objective comparison.

If Zymol can demand $1800-$7000 for their products (and continue to support their reputation), then that is a testament to their ability of their products that they have maintained for two decades; Quite a bit longer than some competing premium products.

BTW: Anyone that is "foolish" enough to be able to afford to spend $5,000 on wax can manage my finances anytime. I want to know what he or she is doing right to be able to spend that amount freely just for cleaning their car(s).
