I take it you are referring to Zymol. I once bought their package of bottles but returned it.

I've been a very satisfied user of Meguiars Professional (tan bottles) since 1996. Meguiars is one stop shopping as well as good enough for me

I've got an idea. If you think it's a scam contact eBay and ask for
Kai Curtis. He is in Legal. I'm sure he can update you.

Did this answer your question? If not, let the seller know.

I am checking with eBay on his alleged "legal contact" there.

I should also contact Zymol and have them pursue him for trademark infringement.

I can't stand fraudsters like this.

"...moving to Monaco", ..."includes vintage glaze". ..."corporate vault". What incredible BS!

I imagine the construction of a corporate vault that could accommodate multiple automobiles, especially when you're in the business of selling car wax, would be a foolish exercise of fiscal irresponsibility.

Not a C2S because no split grill.

Not a C4S because no big reds.

How much do you think it costs to build a vault to hold a $50K car?

Not a C2S or a C4S because it is a narrowbody!

Here's the latest question and answer on the ebay add:

Q: Hello, So the motor and clutch are original to the car,and previous owner did not care for the shifting, is that correct? Is this a carrera s or straight carrera? 282vs.272 hp? Thanks George Feb-10-10
A: George, the owner in Beverly Hills was a beautiful woman who decided that the clutch was too much in hi-heels and exiting the car wearing a dress was a bit too revealing. The shifting in traffic was also more than she cared for. As for the 'S' or not and the horse power, I will have my staff contact Porsche directly to get the answer for you.

wow, this guy is a tool.

A person that would run a scam like this is a definite loser but this one seems to be extra "special" in the loser department.

I sent an email to Zymol (to a couple of email addresses from their web site) with a link to the auction, asking them if it's for real. We'll see what happens.
