Question Zymol

What do you guys think of Zymol?
I have just taken the plunge and ordered one of their kits with the Ital wax - the rep. suggested that this would suit my Midnight blue. Also the kit has a leather polish with included - is this any good ?
Regards
Tito.

I have used their products. I think the leather polish is as good as you can find. I love the look of the car after Zymol wax, but I don't feel it lasts very long. You will really like the way your car looks after using their products.

You might have bought it from www.carcareonline.com ?
If not, this is a good site for information on how to take care of cars and what to use. It's a little self serving but check out the information articles, they're very helpful.

I have used Zymol for the last 9 months on my midnight blue C2. The car wash solution is brilliant stuff(I'm just about gong to buy some more). I bought the carbon wax, light blue and smells of coconut. Easy to put on and buff off, although uses lots of terry towels(I bought a six pack of terry nappies rather than the Zymol offerings - bigger surface area and far more cost effective. In the UK the wax does a great job, but with our weather it really needs to be done every 2 weeks. The leather polish works well and smells f ripe bananas. I have come across other products that do the job just as well for much lower cost, however they don't smell as good.

Enjoy your waxing.

Cool

Have used Zymol for over 3 years, on a Z3 2.8 and now my C4. I find that wax now lasts about 3 to 4 months, whereas before it lasted 6 months. Maybe becuase of more grime on roads, aslo perhaps as use the C4 more than the Z3 for day to day.

The HD-Cleanse is excellent for bird s**t as it removes the chemical components that eat into the paint. Also good when accidently spilt liquid plant food on the Z3 (only a small patch). The feed stained the paint and refused to come off, until I challenged Zymol at an exhibition. They invited me to bring the car round, and in 5 minutes it was gone - just HD-Cleanse and some wax!

Wouldn't change to another product.

Talking

I am also a very happy Zymol user. I used the Titanium wax on my Polar silver and got a fantastic finish. So much so that I just upgraded to using the Concourse, and yes it was worth it.

I tend to HD-Cleanse and Zymol about twice per year, and then just using Auto-Glym Liqued Hard Wax every now and again as a quick once over on top. Keeps the finish for ages !!!

I would also highly recommend the Zymol Wheel Cleaner.

Regards

I really thought long and hard about the concourse, but opted for the Ital in the end. Was the difference that notable? I may opt for it next time.
I have not heard of Autoglym liquid hard wax, only the super resin polish etc, where is it available?

I got a slightly deeper shine with the Concourse, I also found it so much easier to apply. I was also told it will last longer.

I can't comment on that yet, I only applied Concourse last week. As to Autoglym, I could not find Hard Wax last time I tried so I used the Super-Resin instead, the results were the same !!
