Zymol http://www.zymol.com/destiny2.htm] Destiny[/url] Estate Wax is $444.00 for an 8 oz. jar



The #SKSK1 kit sells for $169.00 and contains 5 ounces HD-Cleanseâ„¢, 5 ounces Clearâ„¢, 4 ounces each of Destinyâ„¢, Atlantiqueâ„¢, and Vintageâ„¢, Micro-Wipeâ„¢, detail brush,...



Atlantique sells at $823.00 for an 8 oz jar.



Thats over a $400.00 savings without even considering the Vintage



So basically you are getting the 4 0z. samples of their higher end Atlantiqueâ„¢, and Vintageâ„¢ for free?



Am I reading this wrong?

The SKSK1 sampler kit contains 2 ounce sample jars of Destiny, Atlantique and Vintage estate waxes. the one you are thinking about is the SKSK2 sampler kit that has 4 ounce jars of the lower end Zymol estate waxes. I think that they were Concours, Carbon and something else. I have used Concours for years and its about my favorite show car wax. I bought the SKSK1 sampler kit recently and I have been using the Destiny wax on my Cobra so far. I have not used the Vintage or Atlantique wax yet on my Cobra. I have been using Zymol estate waxes (mainly Concours) on my show cars since about 1990 and thats all I use. I have been down the road with Zaino and other polishes but still come back to Zymol estate waxes for my show cars.

Thanks for the size clarification.



No I was referring to the SKSK1 sampler kit. Zymol lists that it contains 4 oz samples of estate glazes.



The perfect way to sample three of zymöl’s Finest Estate Glazes, SKSK1 kit contains: 5 ounces HD-Cleanseâ„¢, 5 ounces Clearâ„¢, 4 ounces each of Destinyâ„¢, Atlantiqueâ„¢, and Vintageâ„¢, Micro-Wipeâ„¢, detail brush, and booklet on the history of the waxes that were designed for the winners of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.



Must be a typo on their site.



So if Atlantique sells at $823.00 for an 8 oz jar. $102.87 per oz. You are getting the rest of the kit for free at the $169.00 + shipping price.



While still very expensive I thought it was interesting.

Are these waxes really that much better than Pinnacle Souveran or Zaino?

First, let's assume for a minute, that hypothetically, a more expensive product is ALWAYS better than a less expensive product. Let's just pretend.



It's like adding coats of Zaino or SG. In this case we are adding more money to how much we want to spend on a wax. You run into diminishing returns. This is true with most consumer products you can buy. Each incremental step up in product may not be accompanied by a proportional increase in price. When you buy a computer, the cost to upgrade from a 2.0Ghz processor to a 2.5Ghz processor may be the same cost to upgrade from a 2.9Ghz to 3.0Ghz processor.



So these super expensive waxes cannot be a proportional amount better than their price would suggest. But someone finds them worth the cost, so it's a personal thing really. Then remove the assumption made above and you can see how tricky things can be.

Looks like I stand corrected. I checked the site where I got my sampler kit Autosupermart.com

and they say that you get 4 oz samples of each estate wax. so that must be correct on the Zymol website. Thats a good deal considering the price of these 3 waxes by themselves.



Thanks,

Over a $700 savings. Not bad if you want to test their high end glazes.

with that $700 dollar savings you could buy some Zaino, Souveran and Wolfgang and still have money left over. :woohoo:

I wasn't stating it was a good deal for everyone. But a way to test out Zymol's upper end Estate Glazes at a failrly reasonable price considering.



I ordered a kit for my testing collection.



John
 
I hear good things about Victoria waxes, for the show car crowd.



They have a real nice intro package for 99 bucks.

John,

Did you get your sample kit yet. Remember to use the HD cleanse before putting on the wax for the best bonding. I have used the Destiny and Vintage waxes so far and the Vintage glaze looks great on my Mystichrome paint. I used Concours wax for many years when I was doing the car show circuit and I am happy being back using the Zymol glazes. The sampler kit is a great deal considering that you are getting 4 oz. of Vintage alone. Like I have said in the past these waxes are best for show vehicles that dont get the everday wear of harsh climates and conditions. I would not use them on my commuter vehicles for detail work.



Later,



Steve C.

Yes my sample SKSK1 kit arrived. I just haven't gotten around to testing. It has been a bit hot lately. It was 117º a few days back.



One thing I noticed is that Concours, Destiny and Atlantique Glaze have a very noticable fragrance. Vintage is extremely mild.



It was very hot when the sampler arrived. Both Destiny and Vintage were in perfect form in their jars. Atlanique had melted some along the way and was slightly coarse and somewhat chunky looking on the surface.



I noticed if purchased separatley that Vintage is sold in a 22 oz jar which makes it $66.68 per oz with unlimited refills. Atlantique is sold in an 8oz jar at $102.87 an oz with no refills.



I plan on testing them out on a few vehicles that I just drive ocassionally.

John,

I noticed the same thing with the Vintage wax in regards to its smell. not much there compared to the others. But I can tell you that the Vintage looked the best on my paint compared to the destiny and atlantique. the wetness and depth of shine with the Vintage is incredible and thats only with one coat. I cant wait to layer it. Destiny and Atlantique are both high quality carnuba waxes. I was impressed with the Zymol HD cleanse because I have not used it in years and forgot how really well it works. its worth using it on your vehicle before putting on any of the estate waxes. I strip my old wax off with P21S Total Auto wash before I use the HD cleanse. the P21S works great for taking off wax and its safe for all surfaces of the vehicle. your rides look awesome but I really like the prostreet Nova. that thing is sweet. it would definetly benefit from a coat or two of Vintage. Where are you located with temps at 117. must be AZ or Cal. those temps will melt carnuba real quick. Be careful. Put that jar of Atlantique in the fridge and it will go back to solid with no problem. you can store all of the estate waxes in the fridge and take them out for a little while before using. At those prices I would say the sampler kit with 4 oz. of each wax is an excellent value. I almost forgot how much I like using Carnuba waxes. Glad to be back using the Estate waxes. good luck with your rides they look great.

Steve,



Yes I live in the AZ desert. The temp has dropped a bit now that we are entering our monsoon season.



I won't be driving the cars much until around fall.
