Zymol’d

ok...i know we all cant stand just washed threads...but heres some advice for Zymol users....

Do exactly what it says on the tin !!....dont put too much wax on...its a killer to buff out

the car will look its best straight after the HD Cleanse phase.....but stick at it with the wax...its worth the elbow grease .....

saying that...im not sure i will bother again, ive had just as good results using autoglym or similar....

not going to post a ton of pics as in most of them the paint is so shiny all you can see is sky etc....heres one just to show what the zymol can do....but i challange anyone to say its bettter than other polishes...i cant see the difference...other than in my wallet......oh i will say one thing....it smells great !!! wanted to eat it ...lol

Zymol wax is made from the carnabua plant as are most premium waxes, all carnabuba waxes look great but due to their relativly low melting point durability isnt their strong point. As an absolute average the coating carnuba wax will half after 30 days and will be at almost nothing after 90 days. The most durable paint sealants on the market will last for 6 months if properly applied and maintained.

Even a wax like like collinite (widely accepted to be the most durable will struggle after 90 days)

NXT .....Hmmmmm, this is still billed as meguiars best protecting wax. People have split opinions, it is actually classed as a paint sealant and if allowed to set up properly i.e. its polymers cross link 24 hours after application - if kept dry then it can prove to be durable, however many people report poor durability and many report good durability. NXt being a sealnt tends to sheet the water off rather than let it bead like a wax would so even though you may think its not there or protecting it probably will be.

It also tends to darken paint and can hide swirls and really adds some bling, like few other waxes.

The zymol cleaner wax is actually made by turtle wax! Still it did look good on your wheels.

I would keep with the #16 Day, order some from Alex at Serious Performance
