I just started using it. Kind of a mess to put on, but really smooth once you get it off.

I've only tried the cleaner-wax but like the results. Not the easiest application/removal though especially with the amount of wax dust it creates.

Also, the nice thing about Zymol is that it is water based instead of petroleum based as is most polishes/waxes.

Yes. I bought and used a bottle on Pikes Peak White. I was pleased with the shine, but not the cleaning ability.

I've used Zymol Carbon for two years... It is tough to work with.. Results are good. It's very slick, good beeding in the rain. Does not last long at all.... I recently switched to Menzerna Polishes, and Zaino Z5 and Z2pro.... Zaino is not only easier, it has far more shine and dept. It can last between 4-6 months, and @ only 15.00 vs 46.00 (?).

Not trying to knock Zymol I used it off and on for 7-8 years.... It is a good wax... But there is better product out there.

Best part of Zymol it smells amazing!

zymol has to be the harshest wax you can buy, it's like liquid sandpaper. I applied it once to one of my cars with a brand new applicator and afterwards there were swirl marks all over hell. I'll admit the protection lasts a good bit, but it was just SO harsh I refused to use it anymore except maybe on a lawn mower or camper or something.

feel it with your fingers, it FEELS abrasive.

compare the consistency with that of Zaino or even Gold class..........Zymol=crap. I'll never use it on anything ever again.

I prefer Zaino. I threw a coat of gold class on the Z last weekend just to get some protection before I do the buffing and what not.....but the depth and liquid shine look you get from Zaino is just far superior.
