I just cleaned the bajebees out of my car ( with the help from a friend that is a car cleaning guru) i washed it as usual then use maguires swirl and scratch remover, then we use the zymol carbon wax OH MY GOODNESS this stuff is awsome and they both dry clear so no residu on the car even if you miss a spot. I have used the Zanio products which is great but really time consuming. I also dont have a garage and you know it always rains when you clean your car AND TODAY WAS NO DIFFERNENT. Here is the results of 3 hours of work what do you guys think i have another post with before pics these are the after pics. The amount of deepness and wetness is oustanding for 1 coat muliple coats to follow.

I also use Zymol for years on my Volvo 850. It is very nice. I will use it on my 530i too.

I am using Zymol Destiny. However, I must admit that I'm far too lazy to DIY, so I've got "Russo" to do it for me professionally. Definitely gives your ride a really deep shine. However, you'll need to "stack" at least 8 to 10 sessions before your wax really sets in to give you an even better shine.

looks good, but after reading thru autopia and other detailing forums i have heard zymol is mostly overpriced and doesnt last long. comment?

does anyone have any experience with any of the synthetics (like KLASSE) out there?
im thinking of getting some klasse and topping it off with a coat of souverin?

thanks

Oh yeah!!! Zymol is definitely costly. Check out this link http://store.zymol.com/zcat/ShopXpress?SHOWALL=1

Their top of the range "Vintage Wax" costs a whopping USD 1511.00.

It rains quite a fair bit here in Singapore. I've used waxes like Autoglym previously, liked the results, but the wax did not last. Zymol needs to be stacked over a preiod of 2 to 3 months. Thats where your initial and most hurting cost lies. The result after that is a lasting shine and you only need to rinse your car with plain water to rid dirt.
