has anyone heard of this stuff?

Zymöl

they seem to have some of the highest prices I have ever seen.
Example: THis is a glaze. I'm not sure of its exact purpose (it is under a catagory called feeding) but its REALLY expensive.

I just bought some of their Leather Conditioner and cleaner and it worked well for me. It was quite expensive, but i thought i might give it a try.

Heard of it but never tried it

I myself have been using "Liquid Glass" for a long time. It's great. A tin costs around $16. but I've seen it a couple bucks cheaper on occasion. There's a photo of a red 64 roadster on the front of the can.

I really like this product for the following reason: You can put it on in full sun, i.e. on a hot car. In fact they encourage you too - the stuff actually "cures" on the vehicle ... it "bakes" on under the sun. Multiple layers add more gloss and protection.

I started using this stuff on my black 93 Mark VIII when I bought the vehicle yrs ago, and have continued to use it on my black LT-1. I can recommend it to you without reservation.

I LOVE LIQUID GLASS!!! It's the only "wax" i use on my 76 and it's worth every cent you pay for it. I probably put 4 coats on last summer and it gets better everytime. If i were to recomend anything for paint I would only recomend LIQUID GLASS!!

zymöl's Vintage will last you a lifetime but cost you an arm and a leg. It's a great wax but more difficult to manage than most waxes. I've used it several times

If it's a $15.00 container of wax or a $1,000 glass container of wax you're still going to want to make sure you surface is prepped properly and you wax regularly.

What I do like about many zymöl waxes that you can melt them in your hands and massage it into the paint and there is no white powdery residue.

If you're into the zymöl sort of things you may want to check out their Ital or Concourse waxes. There are some other comperable types of waxes out there from Pinnacle and Lusso both quite popluar with many Corvette people.

Oh, yeah, and if you're looking for ultra expensive they also have one called Royale that I thought was out. It's $5k!!

Always wanted to try liquid glass but I've heard it can create problems a few years after use and requires stripping back down and restarting. Anyone else using liquid glass with good results please chime in. Thanks Rick

PS Zymol is good, just doesn't last long but it smells great going on. Tried TechWax this weekend on my black truck and I have to say I'm pretty impressed....and I'm a Zaino fan but it's too pricey to ship, then mix, etc. TechWax looks as good as the Zaino but time will tell if it holds up.

You may be looking at your Zaino wrong then. It factors out to quite well-priced even with shipping costs.
