I know on a few other forums they do the reviews this way instead of a review tool. I have decided this was a system I liked more and therefore thought I would give it a shot and see how people like it. I wrote a review on nother foum and decided to add it here to share with more people, so please enjoy
So recently I have been on a zymol kick, i really want to try it because I love to try new things and its a brand I haven’t used yet. I bought Zymol Carbon from my local BMW dealership. I also have a jar of Concours coming so I will have to review that. I know its expensive but that will be delt with in the review. So here we go.
ORIGINAL THOUGHTS: I though it was kina pricey at 72 bucks but hey why not? Also I thought it had a cool packing I don’t know why but it almost looked space age, more to come on this
Manufacturing claims Zymöl waxes are actually "zymes" that turn into wax when exposed to air during application on your paint surface. Carbon Wax - our 'entry level' hand-crafted wax is suitable for all paint types and is for medium to darker coloured cars. Contains 37% Brazilian No. 1 Yellow Carnauba by volume.
Cost It cost me $72.08can for an 8oz jar with tax, that works out to $9.01 and oz (8 oz jar)
Competitors I would say the competitors to this wax would have to be sovereign, Victoria wax, and p21s (all concours waxes)
Packaging It came in a cool package, it was clear with blue wax, the top was a big lid with a dimple in it, it almost had a space age/space ship look to it. i thought it was a neat look package esspically with the silver labelling. It was nothing extra ant but it really looked good with the blue wax as a back round
Smell It has a cool smell not sure what it was but it was very fruity and nice smelling, i really liked it. I don’t know hit my senses well
Looks It looked like a very smooth blue solid, but the look isn’t a big one for me, its just die in the end
Texture Once I opened the jar i started to wax, and wow this wax is really hard. I’m not sure if its due to a high carnauba (or so they say) or if its just what they were going for but it seemed hard for a wax, it was nice didn’t smudge and smooch under my fingers.
[B ]Directions for use[/b] Wash and dry the car using Zymöl Clear Auto Bathe.
HD-Cleanse the surface to assure 100% wax bonding.
Using the Zymöl Wax Applicator, apply a very small amount of wax onto a 2ft x 2ft surface in an even coat with side-to-side motions.
Using a Zymöl Microwipe, with light pressure, slowly wipe the wax in the opposite direction once, assuming a uniform coverage. Wait for 20 - 30 seconds. With medium pressure, slowly rub the surface to set.
Turn your Microwipe and, with medium pressure slowly rub the surface to set and crystallize the wax to a deep shine. Let the wax cure for 30 - 45 minutes.
Actual use I washed, clayed, and applied a coat of
Klasse all in one then topped with the zymol carbon. I did not use the cleanse like they say because I was cheap this trip and didn’t feel like buying it (it is costly) however it is coming on my order with the concours so we will see how it goes when i have it. It seamed easy to apply and easy to come off, it is a wax on wax off wax which is all I seem to use these days so it was apply, let stand and then wipe off. Very easy to use and very user friendly. I have no problems getting it on or off. And I did not apply by hand but opted to use a foam applicator pad. This product was also applied to black vehicle fro customers so I don’t have any pictures, I do however train with one of the owners so I will be able to check out durability.
Appearance WOW the cars looked awesome, i honestly thought it looked shinier and deeper then any wax I have tried. It looked better then sovereign, I loved it. It left a very very shiny deep look that was very rewarding. I know when the guy picked up his envoy he used the car as a mirror it looked so good. Also as a test poured some water on the car and it sheeted right off. I didn’t even have to dry it (but I still did) I don’t know how the being is however. I would have to say give this wax a chance, it worked well and I liked it better then sov.
Overall thoughts I LOVED this wax, i cant wait to get my concours and give it a shot regardless of price. I found Zymol Carbon easy to use and very nice to work with. The wax did an amazing job of making the paint look deep, wet and shiny. I also would say it is worth the price, it may be expensive but its defiantly worth it no question. I think this may become one of my main waxes along with sov and Victoria wax. Would say give it a shot, instead of ordering one of the other expensive waxes next go around give zymol Carbon a try. I know they have a bad wrap but I enjoyed using this product and thought it did a great job
