8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - Best Car Wax On The Market? Consumer Reports Tested Them

I didn't use the painter's tape to section them off - although I like the visual reference. I used six sections across the hood of my car. Mine looked like yours but striping across the width of my hood.

I had my friends and family pick which section they thought had the deepest shine and it was almost unanimous for the Zymol. Some were much more pronounced than others. I even tested one of the black waxes that was supposed to hide minor scratches but that was one of the worst. The Pinnacle Sovereign was my previous favorite but the Zymol was definitely better.

I wanted to do a long term durability test on larger sheet of painted metal and put it in my back yard for a couple of months but haven't had the chance yet.

I'll be interested to hear your feedback since you have some of the ones I haven't tried.

Are you testing single coats of each wax to keep it consistant?
