Heh heh, I was feeling all smart-@$$ed when I did that one. These threads can do that

And yeah, the old terms get blurred just as (proper) English gets, uhm...fuzzy and if we oldsters don't stand firm it'll all get out of hand

Heh heh, yeah, that "wax is wax" was sorta poking you with a stick, huh

Heh heh...gotta admit you haven't lost your touch. Just when I thought you were getting all serious and teary eyed..........you pull another sneaky one on me. Lesson for me....never underestimate Za Accumulator!!! lol!!!!

Actually on the muscle car thing......I wanted to dart back by saying that in essence a muscle car is a two door intermediate. But again, with the exception of the now defunct GTO, their isn't really (well maybe one card Monte Carlo SS...but they're done after this year too) an american car to fit this category; Hence the loose terming. The SuperBee is the natural heir to that title....all 4 doors and all. It's still a bad @$$h ride...one that I don't want to get caught out there from a roll!!!

Ok where was I with the rambling?? Oh right........ya mean its still not here Mike? What's this guy's number?? Maybe I should start bugging him too.

Calgary, you're not getting Vintage. You just want a big thread to yourself.

Hurry up and get this stuff already gezz.

Lol.......told you guys I can get a steam goin if you put me up to it. Don't know what else I can say to Accumulator. I've been debating with him all year. You have to give him credit, as he doesn't dismiss any lsp per se. He challenges us with his questions and his experiences. It is great (and very funny sometimes) agreeing and slugging it out with him.....Heh Heh!!!!!

no pics i drove the car to the sox game so it is all dirty now. But I am going to do the mdx and will take pics

i like the look of zymol i guess looking at the pics on here i have learned what to look for imo u dont need ital u have vintage instead :-)

lbls1- Heh heh, glad to hear I'm keeping you on your toes and that you're enjoying our exchanges as much as I do

And yeah, there are a *lot* of things I find very intriguing about the premium waxes. If I were in different situation might be using Vintage/etc. on a regular basis by now.

You sure you don't want to order it directly from Zymol?? I have heard that if you call them up you can talk them down a bit over the price you get off their web site. Just a thought.

Any luck on getting a Tracking Number yet, CalgaryDetail????

nope unforuntlly, and no wax either. oh well. Im sure it will behere this week.
I have been realy busy with school this weekend, and it dosent look like its going to lighten up for a few more weeks so i an focus on that instead of my wax.. but dont worry there will be 3 or 4 days of dedicated detailing when it comes

Calgary - Hope you get your Zymol soon. You know you're locked into a before, after pic set because of this post...

Anyways I have a few questions for those who have done their Zymol research/experimentation:
1) What other carnauba waxes are comparable to Zymol Vintage, in terms of longevity? Are we talking Pinnacle Souveran longevity or P21S?
2) How does it do with dust? Does it attract as other carnaubas tend to?
3) Is there a type of Zymol made for specific colors? (e.g. red)
4) Does Zymol make BMW-specific waxes? (have seen some other manufacturer-specific Zymol waxes, but not for BMW)

Thanks and don't mean to take this thread off-topic...

Hmmmmm... I know you have nothing but good things to say about OCD Garage, Calgary, but...

It really seems odd that they didn't use an expedited shipping method for such a large purchase, as well as provide you with some way to track the purchase once it was shipped.

If it was me, I'd be pretty darn unhappy after spending such a large sum of money to get this kind of customer service. I mean seriously.... you spend almost two grand with them, and they don't send your stuff out the very next day using expedited shipping and no way of tracking? Most places I do business with provide that level of service for 20 buck purchases, let alone two grand.

I think you've been more than patient; it's time to call them up and insist on some customer service.

1. Better than Souveran, not quite as good as Collinite.

2. Unfortunately, there is no magic juju in Vintage that prevents it from collecting dust the way all carnauba based LSP's do. In fact, it seems that the higher the carnauba content, the more they collect dust. Cold water spit shining does seem to reduce the dust collection, and it also seems to get better with age; the older your Vintage accumulation, the less it seems to attract dust.

3. Yes. Check out Zymol's website.

4. None that I've seen.
