Re: zymol

You can buy the premium (I think) range, the stuff that's like £10-15 a bottle. The handcrafted stuff you can't.
It smells nice.

Re: zymol

Is the destiny glaze seriously over £400 per tub?! I take it that it is a near permanent paintwork treatment at that sort of price?

Re: zymol

Looks good, not the deepest shine I've ever seen but silver can be a bit like that since it is so light. Did you apply anything to the tyres?

If you don't already use it Autoglym Bumper Care is the daddy for black plastics, would bring the black trim out great and it is a semi-permanent product so doesn't wash off with the first sight of rain!

Can't say I've ever tried Zymol, some people rave about it, others say it is over priced hype. I think AG does so pretty reasonable stuff at good prices. SRP works best with a rotary buffer or DA Polisher.

Collinite http://www.collinite.com/ is widely recognised as the toughest wax on the market.

Re: zymol

that’s right silver is very hard to get a good shine. The photo was taken on a dull day at about 4.00pm
It left the paint very smooth and beads water like never before. autoglym never seemed to last long to me but its still one of the best you can buy at the end of the day it comes down to ££££
ive always used Meguiars Gold Class Trim Detailer put some on four months ago and still going (not to glossy).

Re: zymol

I've only ever used Zymol on someone elses car..... but I do use carnuba wax. Initially I bought some from a chap who restores and prepares classic cars for shows but of late bought some off eBay - great stuff and a wonderful finish, recommended and an awful lot cheaper than Zymol (although Zymol does undoubtably create a wonderful finish).
