What can you tell me about it and where is the best place to get it?

 

As far as I know, Zymol Royale is currently the 2nd highest concentrated carnauba wax on the planet, 70% white carnauba by volume. The first is Zymol Solaris; but that's still in development. Royale was a wax developed for Ralph Lauren's Bugatti Royale. I first had the privilage of seeing Royale on a car at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The car we prepped, 1937 Delage Portoute Aero Coupe, took Best of Show. It's an amazing wax. Because of its high quality ingredients and high concentration of carnauba, you'll see clarity, jetness of colour, and protection beyond anything you've ever seen. The results will depend on the prep work though. The zymol crystal line, (Vintage, Royale, Solaris), are refillable on demand for life. So it will be that last wax you'll ever purchase. PM me for instruction on purchasing and application.

 

What does this mean? You buy it once and they refill it for you once you run out, for the rest of your life?

 

Yes. It's refillable for life.

 

wait, is this the stuff that costs 10K or so?? Saw a YouTube clip of a big shot detailer in London using this stuff on a MC12 (I think.)

 

Yes. Paul Dalton was using it. The wax is $7118. The only thing you pay for is shipping when sending the Royale in for refill at Zymol Headquarters.

I've put it next to p21s and could not tell a difference, Chuck Bennett just happens to be great at marketing. Does that mean its not a good wax, no its great, but Zymol is to wax what RennTech is to Mercedes tuning.

 

So is the protection and look of P21S comparable to that of Royale?

 

in my opinion yes, but for protection i dont even turn to carnuba as it wont last nearly as long as a pure paint sealant. Most show cars, after the paint is well prepped which is EXTREMELY important, use a paint sealant topped with a pure carnuba...this is my routine as the carnuba has the depth and wetness that the paint sealant doesnt.

 

Is the Royale very hard to work with??

 

Is it true that carnauba waxes don't last long and that synthetic waxes are better in real life?

 

It sets fairly hard.
most paint sealants do last longer and natural carnuba waxes

 

For that price I expect Jessica Alba to apply the wax for me...in clothing of my choice...

 

I don't see how anyone could compare p21s to the crystal line of Zymol. I respect your comments Driven but would like to know your technical background about detailing. I have been using Zymol since 1997 and have stood by it for a reason. I have yet to see a car have the "look" that Vintage and Royale have when PROPERLY applied. It's not rocket science but there are techniques involved that you should be taught when you purchase such exclusive waxes. If properly cared for and maintained, Vintage will last almost 8 month to a year. That's a pretty long time if you ask me.
