Default Wax

I found some of this wax on amazon and was wondering if it would be ok to use on the Vette.

There are only two left in stock, so you better hurry.
At that "discount", you might as well buy both!

Shop around. . . I found it cheaper on other sites.

Who, in their right mind, would pay that kind of money for a jar of wax?

It is the same price on Zymols web site and you get refills for life. I would make sure you still get refills if you buy it through amazon. Actually if I was in the market for something like that I would just buy direct from Zymol.

Amazon had that too, but still not a discount. It was the same price. Thats it...I am buying straight from Zymol...I think I might try it out on the '97 Ranger first though, just to make sure.

For those prices they'd better include a hot girl to apply it and then have her grant any other wishes I may have after she's done waxing my car.

Thats about as stupid as Manny turning down 25 mil for one year.
That = $47 / minute; 24/7 ; all 365 days of the year.

But if I had it to burn i'm probably stupid enough to use it.....

Not me personally but you can bet many would. I forget the product, but after it had come on the market it bombed and the fledgling company was about ready to go out of business. Great product at a really inexpensive price. The company decided to bring in a marketing expert. The expert did an analysis and reported that the product was great, but the greatness didn't match the price. There was nothing to lose, so advised them to raise the price to match the performance. The company was skeptical but did. Sales shot thru the roof within 2 months.

We are to be sheep, but not dumb stupid sheep following our own desires for our own desires lead us to death.

Wish I could remember the product.
