Used to get it from Detailers Paradise, but they dropped the product line for some reason. Now available from Waynestowels.

"Does the Einszett Glanz Wax protect against bird ****?"

There is really nothing that will protect your car from bird****, it is highly acidic and needs to be removed as quickly as possible from your car. Keep a few microfiber towels and a small spray bottle filled with a small mixture of car wash soap and you'll be set to deal with any of these issues.
I typically spray my MF towel with the solution and then place it on the culprit and let it soak and soften the material first for a minute or so, then very gently wipe the residue from the surface. The car wash soap solution is great since it will not remove your wax. Again the better wax you have on the car the easier it is to remove the birdbomb.
You can even re-apply some wax to the area when you get home just to ensure to area reamains very waxed.

I have bought most of my products from Classic Motoring Accessories and Top of the Line.
If you surf the sites on a somewhat regular basis they always have specials on something.

The Zymol you get at Walmart is not Zymol...Zymol licenced their name to Turtle Wax (I beleive). Real Zymol (which is what I use on my cars) is totally different and is available at Emmons Coachworks.

In fact, the Zymol at Walmart is often referred to as "Zurtle" wax...

Actually, there are many places where you can order Zymol (which is made in USA) in the states. In fact, you can order from Zymol's website...

For true German autocare technology try Einszett or Menzerna.
