[200 Alex]

[theduck]

you seem very sarcastic and arguementative (easy when you writing a forum)

He's pretty good at it in person to.

 

[Gally]

He makes me weak at the knees.

 

[JD]

Haha <3 Stu. I'm also condescending...

 

[RussZS]

Yep....

[withoutabix]

bit cheeky of me to ask russ but how much return you expecting to make from that one pot?

how many coats that gonna get you and at what premium per layer over your other waxes?

 

[RussZS]

It's more for my own pleasure tbh, but I should get 50 layers out of it...

 

[aucky]

So wax then polish?



Sigh..

A biiit better than AG HD...

 

[RussZS]

Not that you can tell in those pics, but the grey Nissan GTR I have on at the weekend, should do it justice. Clearly its not 20x better (which is the cost difference) but its very special, and some people who have just had their cars detailed want it to look the best it can, which IMO is Crystal Rock at the moment, certainly on darker colours.

 

[Cliotoby]

I thought AG HD wax was the best though?

 

[welshname]

Looks amazing on that one Russ.

Super wax resin protection gloss iirc

 

[cliomick172]

Does no one like turtle wax liquid ice then. Haha

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yes, after paint (supplied by shop)

 

[JD]

Epic.

 

[Ali]

LOL at the poor people that can't afford expensive wax...

 

[200 Alex]

I dont think its affording it, I think its justifying paying that much for wax

 

[Truffs]

People justify spending x amount on whatever they want, we all have different things that we like to spend money that other people may find silly and a waste but its each to there own.

 

[Cliotoby]

High roller?

 

[200 Alex]

And by the way.

I never said I wouldnt spend a reasonable amount on wax, AG HD does the job fine.

So 'poundland' wax is completely out of the picture.

Im struggling to see why you would need anything more than auto glym.

 

[Cliotoby]

Because Autoglym satisfies the needs of a valeter, not a detailer.

Would you find an audiophile listening to a pair of dre beats? no.

Im hearing you, but im not listening.

 

[Dan1587]

Im hearing you, but im not listening.

Think id have to agree with you.

But then again I just spent a fair few pennies on a new Snap On box, so everyones different!

if a £800 pot of wax gives 50 layers, thats £16 a layer.

if a detailer can get £40 per layer (easily done as russ has said he's already sold a fair few) on top of a detail then thats £2000. Lets say you take off £200 for the time it takes to apply the wax then that £1000 profit.

If i was a pro then i know what wax id be getting clients to use.

Fair enough to the average person buying a pot of wax for £800 is bonkers, but to a detailer with clients that are willing to add that extra £40 (which is a tiny cost in the scheme of things in a full detail) then why not, you also get the pleasure of using it on your own car as well.

this...

 

[RussZS]

Exactly... I wouldn't buy a pot to just use on my own car. I could, but it'd take 20 years to get through?

Well said.
