That's actually true if you compare it to some Zymol waxes with cost £2500 - £7000.  But even with those wild prices you get Zymol refills for life with some of their waxes.  So if you were a pro detailer working on a good turnover of some high end cars, charging £££ for a detail, and you only ever pay out for the initial first pot of wax, the rest being free, it actually may be quite cost effective over the years.

I see,as tempted as I am by that I think I will stick with my Do do juice stuff for the time being!

You can't get much better than DoDo Juice wax for the perfect balance of quality, finish, price, durability and longevity.  It ticks every box, and I have (and still am) been extremely happy with it for last 3 years, but like to flirt with other things and felt it was time to try the expensive stuff. But that's where it ends, I will not be going down the ££££ Zymol route, not unless I either inherit megabucks (highly unlikely) or win the lottery (even less likely since I don't actually do it, lol).  DoDo is always there waiting in the wings for when I have no more organs to sell to fund my wax habit.  :grin:

Looking at your car Rebecca, I don't think you need the mega bucks stuff, you are doing just fine with the "cheapo" gear! :grin:
