Need CHEAP Canauba Wax?

How much do you all pay for your wax? Not the Zaino cult, but the carnauba cult????

Is is cheap? Try this ....

The more I think about it, the more I think it needs to be added to the JCW catalog since that was certainly fits with the rest of the CRAP.

Well I did catch the free refills, tie that with free shipping, and I could actually make that the cheapest wax on the market.

Actuallly the first link just became even more affodable at only $65 a month, free refills and 5 wax jobs a week, for the next 500k miles, this actully sounds quite reasonable, they do offer same day shipping right.

With free refills, you could stick a wick in it and call it a candle!

I was wondering what you guys would think of that. ...

I found that by accident in, of all things, a Porsche forum and even those guys with their 100K cars were aghast.

I wonder if they have a free trial of that stuff. If it is as good as they say it is. Since I'm about 25, I could wax cars for years on that initial bump.

I'd only say its worth it if you plan on having your Carrera GT, Enzo, MINI and SLR share the same garage by the time your 40.

Have you guys checked the Zymol waxes.

Zymöl waxes are actually "zymes" that turn into wax when exposed to air during application on your paint surface. Creame Wax, for light-coloured cars, contains 33% Brazilian No. 1 Yellow Carnauba by volume; Carbon Wax for dark cars and Zymöl’s waxes for specific automotive marques: Saab, Mini, Volvo and Japon for Japanese cars contain 37% Carnauba by volume.


from their website, 8 onces for $46.00

Thats the cheap stuff. Check out the reference (and check out Pinnacle sourveign). You want white Brazilian (or so they say)
