Default To those of you who don't like Zymol

I'm a bit taken aback to be perfectly honest.

I typically use a sealant on my car because it isn't garaged, but when I get the chance (or if its a car event) I'll throw some carnueba on it, and frankly the best I've found is Zymol.

I have yet to see another Z with this kind of depth - granted, this is after a light polish (poorboys SSR1 with a white pad, so EXTREMELY light), zymol HD cleanse, and a coat of Zymol Vintage (look it up...)

I'd hope to get results like that after buying a tub of wax that costs 1,800. The free re-fills is kind of cool.

Its a friends, and he split it with a friend.

Mind you, its a friend I made when I had a BMW.

The stuff is 60% vs 39 in the carbon (which you're welcome to use) and then S100 ($20 at the harley dealer and can't beat it for a bargain).

I've been using Zymol Creame for years. Outstanding wax in my opinion. If you use it on a regular basis, you only need to utilize HD Cleanse about twice a year. It keeps the car shining beautifully. Here is a picture of my '92 Stealth that was taken a couple years ago. The Stealth was always waxed with Zymol Creame and you can see the shine it has after about 13 years.

Yeah, exactly.

I have nothing against Zaino, or other sealants (for example, when that wax wore off a week or 2 ago I put Klasse sealant on the car). They just look like crap and don't have the depth of a good carnueba wax.

FWIW - creme is a yellow carnueba and great for lighter colored cars.
Carbon is a white carnueba and great for darker cars.

There are a series of other waxes Zymol is selling now that I'm not familiar with, but those are their bread and butter and last for 10+ waxes a jar.

AND, I had water spots and some swirls from a dirty wash mit (don't go there....it was far from intentional) and we had to get those out with the polish so as for "new" it was IMO not quite there anymore.

Nissan paint sucks, GM paint is WAY better.

This is surprisingly bright and has endless depth to it. I will try this product.

Zymol has high end line which cost just as much as other high end brands. Good job. Paint looks good. I want a pic in the sun. Lighting from a garage is cheating.

This was when there was a wildfire 30 miles away, the rain cleared it up but covered the car in road grime and it was a week before I could wash it again. It wasn't sunny the day I washed it and I work at a truss plant (aka sawdust city) so I unfortunately got owned on sunny pics, but trust me, it looked awesome.

FWIW - I just use Carbon and am happy with it. I just see everyone on Zaino, and someone said Zymol sucks on the Z so it was more directed at that.

I have to admit, zymol over the counter products, i don't like. People like zaino because a lot of corvette owners use them and started to get popular. I, myself, prefer Poorboys, Pinnacle and Klasse. I don't use anything over the counter besides car wash.

I use S100, and a couple other "over the counter things" (like insulator wax).

But my car has Klasse sealant as a basecoat, etc. etc.
