I have a black 525 and love it but it is starting to get swirl marks and never stays clean. I want to detail it with multi-steps but dont know what to use. Detailers have said Zymol is the best they have used.... what do you think?

I am thinking 2 coats of Zymol then a good wax over that!


I also want to know what a cleaner wax is compared to if I need to clean, polish, then wax. Is it all in one? And what about a sealer that is not Zaino? Thanks....

Zymol what? There's a ton of Zymol stuff. If your looking to get rid of your swirls then wax will do nothing.

Are you talking about HD-Cleanse?

Regardless, nothing in Zymol's product lineup will remove swirls.

I use Zymol, it's a nice product. Smells really nice too. I've noticed that when you let this wax dry on your paint it's a little tougher to get off and it'll leave a nice white residue if you're not careful wiping it all off from corners/crevices. Otherwise I love it.

Yea Zymol is a very good product. I have a Jet Black 545 and I have no swirls or streaks. I highly recommend it.

Go Zaino and you'll never go with anything else. They have a product called Z-PC, which is their polish. I use it with my random orbital (Griots) and it works great on my Jet Black car.

I have been using Zymol for the past six years, first on my 2000 328i, titanium silver, and now on my 2005 545i, black sapphire metallic. After washing the car the first step is use Zymol HD Cleanse which cleans the paint. The second step is to use the Zymol wax. They have a different wax for dark color paint (carbon) and light color paint (creame). The procedure for both the cleaner and the wax is to apply it in straight line motions, not circular motions. I am very happy with the result, there are no visible swirl marks. Make sure your car is in the shade when washing and waxing.
