Please don't get me started on those guys. They do wax testing with little 1'-0 x1'-0 swatches......very believable testing conditions!!! I have used the two top rated lsp's in their test before......needless to say that was prior to trying Zymol. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but respect for those lsp's (one of which is my daily favorite, and the other synthetic I won't bother to mention the brand).

Given the same prep conditions and paint, it would almost be ridiculous to compare those brands to any of the Estate Glazes. LSPs in the sub $100 category should be compared with a comparable Hand Crafted Zymol (even with the HC's, it may prove difficult in matching the Zymol's performance) that has a similar wax make-up and retail. If the mega buck Zymols destroys the likes of those lsps mentioned, then that would not be surprising at all, since they carry the ransom of all the Kings' Horses and yada.

To cut it short, my old adage remains, which states that you have to go beyond heresay and popular notions and rumors and try out products firsthand so as to see and experience the results for yourself.

However, published tests and internet opinions do have their place in society....it makes for very good comic strip material.....lol!

BTW: I've used Zymols for several years, and the rumor of it's finish not lasting long is entirely false.
