Default 2 pontiacs and zymol = happy family

It has been a while since I posted pics, so here is the T/A after Zymol and also the G6 GT Coupe. Zymol is awesome on any car, as the pics speak for themselves. Tell me what you think of my 7 year old paint job...

I only use Zymol myself.

The Ice wont last long at all. It's like drugs.

When you use the Zymol (per instructions) after you initially wipe off the cured wax with a miicro fiber towel, it says to spray the area with a very fine mist of water from a spray bottle. Zymol claims it "settles" the layer of wax as you buff the water into the freshly waxed surface.

I've always done that on my (recently sold) black Firehawk and it looked flawless.

Ice is a good, quick way to put a coat of clean on your car, but nothing beats Zymol for durability and shine. I use the Zymol once every month and a half or so, and then I use the Ice periodically for a quick touch-up. Thanks for the kind words fellas.

The Zymol is much more time consuming than ICE or NXT because it leaves a white powder on all of the creases and rubber. The powder can be a pain, especially on a black car. The shine is awesome though, and worth the effort every now and then.

If you don't mind me asking, where can you pick up the zymol and is there anything else you do to make it shine that good besides washing and waxing?

Its the one and the same. There are 2 lines with the Zymol name. One version is the resale line that's circulated thru Turtle wax (the blue colored cleaner waxes). The second series is the authentic waxes starting with the Handcrafted waxes (carbon, japon, etc) and then the Estate Waxes (hold on to your wallet!): Titanium, Concours, Glasur....call your bank....Destiny, Atlantique, Vintage........Way Out....Royale->$7,000, and now Solaris ->reportedly $13,000.
