regardless...Zymol sells their product for X amount of dollars....say a $45 (msrp) jar of Zymol Carbon Wax....to a dealer for 30..the dealer then places a 5-10 dollar markup, so it sells for that amount..the point is...regardless of how much the dealer sells it for, it will never be less than what he paid for...any don't think that just because you think that this is a 5 dollar wax..the the dealer is buying it for 5 dollars....

Actually, I strongly doubt that this a 5 dollar wax....if you look at the ingredients...they aren't the most readily available ones on the market.

After all is said and done, this a matter of personal taste probably, my detailing cabinet has practically the entire line of Maguires and Zymol cleaning products, but I use the Zymol on the Bimmer and the rest on our other cars....

Oh, and Zymol does not "soften" your paint as people have said--hence, the chipping....that would be practically impossible for a "wax" to do....especially one that is all natural w/ no chemicals designed to "protect" the paint....it probably has to do more w/ BMW water based paint that everying is talking about...

Worked for a body shop and owned my own detaling business for a few summers...
