i could justify it maybe if say 100 of us wanted to buy it and do a mass detailing, but unless your a seriously busy car cleaner, that does cars like the guy who left the comment does, i think it could be a waste

Lol, i thought everyone knew about royale by now. Obviously if you have a flash car worth tens or hundreds of thousand, 7k is pocket change... Of course its silly money, but some people just have too much anyway and don't mind spending that on their car!

Yeah unfortunately they arent taking the piss, zymbol is one of the worlds most exclusive waxes. Their waxes range from £2000 upwards. Their waxes are so dear because they have got a very high contant of white Carnauba wax which is very expensive

Afaik not anyone can just buy Royale, think this is to stop people buying it and selling it off and getting free refills. It works out cheap enough if your using it very often over a number of years, but for me personnaly id have swissol too!

I'll stick with my Harlys Wax, 100% Carnuba, 18.99 from ebay, sorted

100% carnuba (white/yellow) not 100% content.

Zymol is only up at the 70's and shoud be fairly hard to work with at that with carnuba content making waxes super hard.

Ohh how the worms turn:p

2 years ago many would have laughed at the thought of buy swissol or zymol wax...

Looking back at earily detailingworld threads you would have been laughed off the forum if you admitted using the stuff...

Now its all the rage(y)

Nope its easy to work with tbh....Megs applicator pad, wipe round a few times, thin layer (i do half the car then wipe off) and it leaves a real nice deep shine...even Ruth commented on how well the car was lookin which is a BIG statement, the lady of detailing!

Collinite will last a number of months. Ive found nattys and megs tech wax to last around 3-4 weeks usually. Out of em all for black i find nattys is the best for shine

Collinite 476s is a brilliant all round wax, if you want durability, brilliant shine/looks and an easy to use product, imo this is the best value for money
