0 jub jub Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 That's just crazy but, if you have the money to drive an exotic then what's a few thousand for a detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mikegeaney Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 That is crazy. A prime example of more money than sense in my book. I wonder how much better that $6K wax works as compared to the Adam's Machine Super Wax. That guy should get down and spend a few "quid" (I love that word) with Adam's! I guess it's all relative though....my neighbors, and wife, think it's crazy that I don't just go to Walmart and get my detailing supplies...

0 Superdutytd Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 That wax is 76% Carnuba, and you can buy it for a lot less now than when that video was made. You can buy it from Swissvax for $1100. I really want to try some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy it from Swissvax for $1100. I really want to try some! In that video, Paul is using Swissvax Devine, which has a price tag of $2,500. Technically, it's the most expensive wax in the world since there are NO refills....it's a one shot deal. The $1100 dollar stuff is their Crystal Rock, which is simply amazing...and for $1100 it better be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh when I was looking on his website it kept talking about how he liberally applies the Crystal rock to all the cars he details, which I thought was the same as he was using in the video. Have you ever used it? Or seen it on a car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Baron_Von_Awesome Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Oh when I was looking on his website it kept talking about how he liberally applies the Crystal rock to all the cars he details, which I thought was the same as he was using in the video. Have you ever used it? Or seen it on a car? I have a small 40mL sample of it - it made my car look soaking wet for three months...and that's with the car being outside EVERYDAY. It will also make any red-ish colored car look like a giant piece of hard candy I've been using the sample as an up-sell to some of my customers and so far they've loved the results as well.

0 Team Adam's Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Ah good old Paul Dalton... hes charging that much not b/c thats what his work is worth, but more b/c thats what his customers are willing to pay. Its like paying for a super high end steak at some swank resturant. You could probably find a better steak much cheaper, but some people LIKE to pay that kind of money for the prestige of being able to say "I paid $XXXXXXX for my car to be cleaned" Not to take anything away from Paul b/c he does AMAZING work but the price has just as much to do w/ being a gimmic as it does the types of products he uses. I'm sure if I had the kind of money to afford some of those cars I wouldn't even blink and dropping that kind of coin to have him work on it. Everythings relative.

I will have to agree with you up to some point. It's kind of like a $500 guitar vs a 5,000. The 500 is going to be 97% as good as the 5,000 but the 5000 costs ten times as much just to be 3 percent better. Oh and I'll make sure to throw in an extra 4 or 5 in my order for all my buddies!

0 JerseyGator Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 One thing I noticed in the video was that he applied his wax by hand! Seemed to make sense with the warmth of the skin applying the wax. So...... I broke out my APW and applied a coat by hand. I don't know if it looks any better, but I could feel EVERYTHING on the car. And it was an absolutely great experience Rubbing your car down by hand! Give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
