Can anyone let me know if there are any Zymol dealers in NYC, Manhatten area? Will be across in a couple of weeks and thought I would use the oppurtunity to snap up some wax, given the fact that it is about equivalent dollar price to pounds, making it around half the UK cost at the mo'.
However, no idea where I would look for some!!
All help most appreciated

Personal preference I know but there are many better products out there than Zymol IMO. They are not what they started out as and to be honest I never had good results. I think you will find for a garage queen the P21 is superior and easier to use and for out side cars Blitz wax will hold up to anything.
None of these are of any value if the paint hasn't been prepped first.

Hi I am a brit living in NYC, and to be honest I'm not aware of any decent auto spares stores in manhattan. (Please someone shout if they know of any !)
I'd suggest that you might order some Zymol from an online retailer and get it delivered to wherever you're staying.
If that's not possible, you can get it delivered to my apartment building (I live in central manhattan) and you can collect it.
Cheers

I read that Zymol is repackaged Turtle wax - have no first hand confirmation of this.
Also found out that P21s and S100 available in the US is NOT the same p21s that is used in Europe (Wack). In fact its an entirely different formulation (not made by Wack - the genuine p21s manufacturer).
Clipstone - ill trade you - bring the european p21s over with you and Ill trade you Zymol. How about 3 bottles of Zymol to 1 can of p21s?

Zymol is overpriced hocus pocus!

Don't know about Zymol/value/price but good quality wax is different from the turtle wax variety. Much different in my experience. It is worth it for the lack of white residue alone.
P21s has been good for me. Something like $30US...

Thanks for all the replies guys
Nice to see that the question of wax stateside is as subjective as it is over here!
Not used the P21s myself, although it does come pretty well recommended here too. For darker cars, Poorboys Nattys Blue is meant to have around the same durability and bring a better pop in the colour from what I have been told, although much better as a summer wax.
I have just bought some collinite which is meant to be a stunning winter wax, and will be trying that on the Audi to see if it lives up to its reputation.
In regards to the Zymol, I must admit that I was dubious about its price, and whether it could justify the extra cash - I have had the p-car detailed using Zymol Glasur and I must admit the results were stunning - however I accept that alot of this may have down to the paint correction that was done, and it could be that any decent wax would have produced as good results?
Don't know whether to stick with the poorboys now?
By the way, the P21s is around £20 ($40) over here at the moment - if anyone wants me to ship them some over I could have a look at how viable that would be? Not overly convinced that the difference between the European stuff and the US would be worth the difference in price though ...
