I have used both zymol and nxt. Zymol works well if you have stripped off the old wax or havent waxed in a while. But I perfer NXT.

So NXT would be my recom.

NuFinish is more of a cleaner wax/polish. The best setup for you would be a good claybaring and nxt.

Zymol, but NOT the **** they sell at the parts store, the light blue liquid. Real Zymol, carbon is fine. Better is Pinnacle Soverign especially on dark colors.

Wow, talk about limiting your choices. If you are looking for local stuff only, try to find the new line from Mother's.

yeah i know, i just dont wanna have to hassle w/ ordering something. Ill be sure to take pics and show you guys when i get it clayed and waxed. I clayed just the spoiler and it looks alot better but idk if i did it long enough. i did it and i could still hear stuff in some areas and u can still see some fine little scratches but its alot better and REALLY smooth. I cant wait to do the whole car.

do you go till you cant hear anything?

BTW: sorry for all the questions but i just dont want to mess up and i want it to look good!

Real Zymol is the ****, nothing is as good. I've used next, mothers, and probably every other wax known to man. There's a good reason you can buy concours-level Zymol for $1000 a tub.

That being said, get Zymol Carbon. It looks great and is only about $35 for a tub.

a second for the Zymol. the REAL one. my dad keeps his and my moms trucks looking showroom new with that stuff. ive waxed my car once and it was with zymol, and im gonna do it again, hopefully this weekend. it looks great!

how hard is it to clay bar? my hood has a bunch of swirls(from previous owner). would clay barring take those out?

I use a claybar every 6 months and then two coats of Zymol. It's an all day project but well worth it!!! My 'Hawk is black and the Zymol is a great wax IMHO. A vote for Zymol.

where can you get the real zymol from? I've used the regular which works pretty good, just doesn't last too long. Is this "real" zymol a cleaner wax like the one availalble in stores or is it a true wax? Tell me more about the new mothers line also please very interested as besides zymol the original mothers is by far the easiest wax to use IMO

How would you compare your Zymol to Pinnacle Souveran? Which Zymol are you using again?
