    I think they're trying to keep the price constant at 10,000 x the price of a gallon of gas in the US... it's all very scientific :giggle:

    Just kidding, they're probably swamped with too many orders to handle at the old price :drinking2:

    It's called price skimming. When you have a product that has the top end of the market corced, and the consumer can see a genuine difference in the prodct over other products below it, they will be willing to pay such a price. If I had that sort of money to spend on a wax, I'd buy it in a second, who cares about the cost. Instead, i'll stick with the vintage, it's more in my price range and still looks better then pretty well anything out there; other then its big brother waxes of course.

    Call it what you want, but do you seriously think a $45,000 wax will be worth it? I doubt even one has sold yet and they raised the price. That wax IMHO is just ridiculous.

    welcome to the crazy world of "luxury" products.

    the missus was telling me about the high end handbags... a Hermes bag would be somewhere at the solaris price range too... lol

    That is just the most idiotic item in the detailing world. :crasy: Whoever buys that wax, I'd like to be the first one to kick him in the balls.

    could it be that they price it so high as to make their other waxes appear to be a fantastic bargain.:applause2:

    lol..you guys think that Solaris isn't being sold..boy are you guys mistaken. I've had the opportunity to discuss Solaris with two individuals that own Solaris and lets just say people that can afford Solaris role in a different crowd lol.

    Now is it worth the price :confused: to each there own but like I said people who purchase this wax are in a different category..heck they may as well be in there own category lol.

    One of these days I'll have Solaris, just a mater of time :thumb:

    Oh I was shocked to hear how many Solaris have been sold by the way, shocked!!

    If you have $30,000 to spend on a silly wax, then you probably have so much money that you would pay $45,000 for it too. Or $100,000. At those levels, they can charge anything they want to.

    Even though Hermes bags are expensive, they are not $30K or $45K expensive. Unless you get one custom made, which I don't think they even do.

    Crap, I was dealing with someone to sell one of my kidneys so I can buy Solaris.
    Now I need to sell my firstborn as well, better check with wifey on that.


    I have a feeling Zymol just realize there are 50 new Billionares born in Russia last year amid oil price, can't compete with them. One of them bought Manchester United last year for $1.5B???
