Zymol Vintage

Has anyone ever heard of or used Zymol Vintage Glaze? What the heck is it? It comes in a gigantic clear crate shaped like a diamond.

The thing costs $2,000!!!

You might get a measly 22 oz amount but it's a SUBSCRIPTION for life! When you run out, you send the diamond-shaped tub back and they refill it for you free!! Holy toledo Batman!

Some websites say it was developed specifically for the owner of a 1947 Bentley. What is this stuff?! It sounds like fancy skin cream just for your car's paint! Does anyone know anything about this? What makes it different from the $50 bottle sold at the local Pep Boys? Someone told me online that there are only two known Zymol Vintage buyers in the entire UK alone. Is this true? I cannot possibly imagine spending even $100 for a jar of car polish.

I have a great idea. Let's all chip in a few quid for the NAM Zymol Vintage Fund! We'll have one diamond of Zymol in the US somewhere in North Dakota so our Canadian friends can share it with us. The diamond will be used up and sent for the free refill. We use up the second diamond. We then ship to our mates in the UK where they can enjoy it twice. Then they ship it back to the US or Canada for another two refills and so on! I think there are enough of us to go around!

It's the stuff that dreams are made of. It probably sells for $2000 because their marketing director is trying to develop an image of exclusivity for the company.

And that's not even Zymol's most expensive wax. Their "Royale" wax goes for about $7000 (same lifetime refill policy, though).

Good point! With the honeydew, olive, coconut, cantaloupe & sunflower oils, it probably tastes better than caviar!
