If not I am just curious as to the value of the inquiries?

If you are really as interested as it would seem by the abundance of threads you have started regarding premium waxes determine how much money you are willing to spend and just do it, sometimes you just need to get the answers for yourself especially on such a subjective topic.

Not trting to be a jerk but I just dont see the value in all the "is this premuim wax really all that " threads that you ahve started- I mean personally it doesn't seem like you are really considering buying them but just creating conversation

Please dont take this post as me being a jerk but I am just speaking my mind

You are taking my post too personally - It doesn't bother me and I apologize if I offended you.

I am just trying to understand the motive behind the threads - I mean I am not going to drop $500 for a wax until I can come up with a solid plan on how to re-coupe the money (ala customer requests) therefore I am not asking questions about it especially considering that the opionions of looks of a wax are subjective at best - ANYWAX regardless of expense is going to get a wide array of opinions..

Questions in durability, ease of use and for some how it smells would give more definitive answers BUT as you can see from the recent threads about "is this wax worth it" they do not provide any thing conclusive... what have we learned from the threads other than some people "see" the difference and some people dont.. there has been nothing conclusive that has came from them....

I guess what I am getting at is this, you will not gat a conclusive answer, there will always be disputes as to whether it's worth it or not..

Kind of like the "is zaino the same as DG" or "is product "X" just a CG relable".. they dont get you, me or anyone else any further..

At the end of the day it is your money and you will be the only one to determine if the purchase was worth it - so with that said determine a $ amount you feel comfortable spending and take the plunge - then *you* will know for sure what *you* feel on the subject...

Again, didn't mean to offend

no prob . so far ive used pinnicel waxes and love them !!! now as for me trying swissvax its purely because i love detailing and trying different things . i know if i try best of show or concorso its not going to look that much better then souveran . but for me trying other waxes keeps our hobby interesting . im sure at the least duability will be much better.

Waxes wont really show in pics, in all of my pictures I post of my details are all "pre wax/ pre sealant" pictures.

It doesnt matter what wax I put on, you cant tell from the pics IMO.

Even in person, one person's preference is different from another.

If you go by an objective answer, any wax over $20 is not "worth it" because you will never get the improvement in looks relative to the increase in price.

If its a subjective answer you are looking for, then its irrelevant because then it comes down to personal preference and judgment of value.

I think you will LOVE best of show Tom. Congrats on ur future purchase!!!

I think if you speed a lot of you money for a wax you'll probably try to convice yourself that it does look better so you don't feel like you wasted your money. It's true about a lot of things. We all try to justify are actions. So if it makes you feel good spending $500, $1,000 or more on a wax I say go for it. I'm sure it will look good to you. The more money you spend the better it will probably look in your eyes.

If one of your customers wants to spend a lot of money on a wax then I say definitely go for.

One thing for certain is spending a lot of money on a wax is not going to make you a better detailer. If a car looks better with an expensive wax is always going to be a matter of opinion.

There are a lot of for under $100 that look excellant IMO.
