zymol has a cleaner/wax...I know some other cars highly recommend Zymol...anyone here use the cleaner/wax???

 

Actually, I have used it on my '93 Pathfinder for years. It does a great job, IMHO. I still use other products on my roadster, but if you're looking for a good one-step solution, I think the Zymol Cleaner Wax is very good. And Consumer Reports put it at the top of a recent wax-off test.

Zymol Cleaner Wax

Here's a pic of my '93 Pathfinder (original paint) that I waxed w/ the Zymol Cleaner Wax a few days ago. It's been in a light mist for a few days since, and it's kinda cloudy out, but I think you'll still see the nice shine:

 

vrm-vrm: do you feel that the cleaner wax is very abrasive?

 

not even a little

 

vrm_vrm...what do you recommend to apply it with...assuming use micro fibre towel to buff off with...

 

The terry-wrapped sponges like the one Lexol markets are great. I added it to my product page under "you may also need"

Zymol Cleaner Wax

 

well this stuff can't be total crap...just saw them using it on concours d'elegance cars(multi milllion $$ show cars) on motorweek tv..also using Zymol misting product...unless it was clever advertising...hmmm

 

For that range of products (the kinds you'd see in your local Pep Boys) - I think it's the best. Personally, I use higher-end products like P21s or Zymol's Carbon or Creme on my roadster, but the Zymol Cleaner Wax IS a great product in the middle-price range.

 

I saw that also, I thought it was funny also, the Zymol cleaner wax may be a good product (I have some at home) but it certainly is the cheapest Zymol product and that is the one shown on TV using it on million dollar cars...... (but it WAS advertising as is 90% of what you see on Speed Channel)

 

vrm or kev...how much "protection" does the Zymol cleaner/wax provide? does it bead for very long?? I'm thinking of using the Zymol spritz in conjuction with it...your thoughts??

 

i had read somewhere that that Zymol Cleaner/Wax is actually made by turle wax. any truth to that?

 

NOT true. Zymol Cleaner/Wax is DISTRIBUTED by Turtle Wax. Think about it - Zymol's other waxes cost $40+ a bottle, and they wanted to release a wax that would compete with the medium-priced waxes like Meguiars etc. Who better to distribute than Turtle Wax?

 

I think Vrm_Vrm would agree with me in saying that the Zymol blue as I call it would be somewhere in the middle to low end of durablity ( I have tested it) compared to all of the much newer synthetics on the market today with the Zymol containing carnauba wax and bees wax.

 

Kevin's right. synthetics (Zaino, Klasse, others) are definitely more durable than carnauba waxes. It's been proven. But for those that like carnauba-based waxes and easy application, the Zymol one-step makes a lot of sense.
