Hey Keith and Phil THANKS a million, for the first time I went to wal-mart and purchased their Mothers wax clay thing kit for 15.00, and thought I would just give it a try, and I did and WOW it worked great and I just finish doing my entire car and it look and feels real smooth, like brand new again, and just think before this E60 forum; you and Phil enlighten me to the clay thing, and then buy some good wax, but I was totally disgusted, and I was about to take it to a paint and body shop, but you guys saved me a bunch of money and I do appreciate it!!

Zymol is crap...s h i t!! Try using Zaino. It can be purchased from the Zaino store online. @ years ago, there was a magazine that did an independent test on all the top waxes and protectors. Zaino was the top choice followed by the P21S products. Zymol finished way down, below Turtle Wax. I've used the 2 different products for years. One is for single stage paint (my 1973 2002tii, 3 first place trophies last year alone) and the other product is for 2 stage paint. Even on my Tundra that sits out at night here at the beach, it lasts a good 6 months and make the truck shine and very easy to wash.

Had used Zaino and P21s, both great looking LSP but p21s doesnt last long tho, bet the megazine didnt do the longevity test.
Have you got any pics of your 2002?? I love that car

I have been using Zymol for seven years, first on my Titanium Silver E46 (Zymol Creame) and now on my Black Sapphire Metallic 545i (Zymol Carbon). I am very happy with the results. I tried Griot's Best of Show Wax but I like Zymol better.
