My GG "Zymol Clean"!

About a week ago I waxed my car with Zymol and personally it's the best wax I've used. It gave depth to GG that I've never seen before. I can't believe it!

Words are never as good as pictures, so here they are...

Good job. I also have a GG coupe, but I use Mothers. It looks real good after the 3 step process. Just like yours .

It is photobucket, that's weird it's going slow.



Thanks for all the compliments.

The bottle of zymol was only $13 at wal-mart. not bad. That will last me a full year because it gets way too cold during the winter to even think about waxing.

Zymol is a good wax, but it's not going to last you a full year. In my experiences with that wax the second you take it off the car you've pretty much taken the wax off as well. lol

Baby blue and has "Zymol" on it if he's using the normal stuff.

I was talking with a friend about this wax and I called it my "summer wax", haha. I'll be putting a nice thick coat of meguiar's paste wax before the winter. That'll protect from salt and other junk, the zymol just makes it shine like no other, haha.


the bottle:






I don't have a further out shot, but if I remember when I get home I'll take one and post it up.

I have bought a bottle of COLINITE 845 just for that purpose ,I'll use it around September to winterize the paint ,it should last the whole winter.

The Zymol at Wal-Mart is a cleaner wax. For a brand, new car, you want a straight wax w/o cleaners. Zymol makes straight waxes, but you have to buy them on-line usually.

^ unfortunately, the bottle above is the cheaper consumer "wax". what you want to buy is the Zymol Japon Wax (in a jar). That's the real Zymol.
