There are many stories about Paul and Zymol. But from what I've heard, the free refills are for personal use only and you cannot charge people for your services or for the wax. Paul was able to get free refills, somehow. But the latest is that he is no longer using Zymol product and coming out with his own line of waxes.

The clip claims the wax sets up harder than concrete and lasts up to 6 months, whatever! 6 months on a garage queen maybe.

Actually, all carnuba-based waxes set harder than concrete... Even the cheap $20 turtle wax at AutoZone

Doesn't the concentration of the caranuba matter also?
The $30,000 wax has 73% white caranuba, while the cheap consumer brands usually have A LOT less.

Regular Zymol wax has like 33-37% carnuba...

In fact, I think I read that higher is not necessarily better... It's not like it costs a lot to make a 100% carnuba wax, the problem is it would be impossible to apply and would not stick...

In 3 jars of regular zymol wax, you have more carnuba than the $30,000 wax...

I'm pretty sure he was a full water filtration system that allows him to wash it in the sun.

Pure carnuba in it's natural state is harder than concrete, not the stuff you're putting on your car.

$30k is nothing if you're washing enzo ferraris all day and you charge a fortune it.
Did anyone hear the last part? People call him to get bird crap off their car, anywhere they are, he comes.
