I'm looking at buying some wax for my E60. I used Zymol on my 01' 325i, but I keep seeing everyone taking about Zaino. Are Zaino products better that Zymol? If so can you tell me which Zaino products to purchase.

Are you using the zymol cleaner/wax? If you are this would presumably be the same as turtle wax. The high end zymol should be good, but don't think it is worth the price.

I looked into using zaino myself, but was turned off by the multiple applications needed.

I was about to purchase Klasse AIO with Klasse SG, but I ended up with Einszett polish and wax.

Here is a good forum to better answer your questions http://www.autopia.org/forums/index.php

Whatever products you end up choosing, start by claying your car and follow it up with a polish and then a wax or sealent.

heezy545i Thanks for your reply! I was using the expensive Zymol. I had to order a special type for the color of my car. I'll look into that forum. Thanks again.

I've used zymol "carbon" wax for the last few years on all my and mrs diesels cars with outstanding results.......I'd highly reccommend it if you hava a dark mettallic paint (creme wax if light colour)

ps...clay twice a year and use HD cleanse & bathe to prepare for wax

I was on Zymol Concourse for a year before upgraded to Destiny. The Destiny are much better although it is only a step above the Concourse. Recently I switched to Zaino since my car is already 4 years old, and I don't want to pay for a premium wax on my 'old' car. Well, Zaino's shine is acceptable, but not as deep as that of Destiny. Zymol also leaves a smoother and silkier surface, and can last longer than Zaino. If I were to buy a new car again, I will go back to Destiny.

I use zymbol. It works very well. I will say its very expensive but, worth the money. It gives a very good shine and last for quite a while
