Yeah, I have never been a huge fan of Zymol. The guy that got me really started into detailing used to always tell me to use it but it never did much for me.

My brother just started using Zymol last year, and he has the best looking car I`ve ever seen in real life. People have told me his car is brand new, when it`s really 10 years old! I don`t know what he pays for Zymol, but it looks fantastic. AFAIK, his prep is fantastic, he only needs to maintain what he has already done.



My car doesn`t look nearly as good, but I haven`t done as much prep work (scared to do to much buffing w/ soft Honda paint, and white hides everything). And I love the ease of use of S100, and how it doesn`t stain my trim, so I haven`t tried Zymol myself.



Peace.

I`ve been using Zymol for the last 6 or 7 years. To keep costs down I just order the Pebble Beach sampler instead of paying $400, $800, or $1000 for the full size versions of these waxes. Like all detailing products proper prep and technique are important. If your car has swirling you`ll need to polish first. If your paint has a lot of embedded contaminants then you`ll need to clay before polishing. I also find that I get much better bonding when I preceed the Zymol wax application with an application of HD-Cleanse. A couple of other tips for using estate glazes are



-always buff off with a microfiber

-don`t let the wax sit for more than a moment before buffing off (I recommend applying to an entire panel and then immediately buffing)

-use the hand application method described in the Zymol instructions never use a foam applicator to apply an estate glaze

-apply only a very thin layer of wax



I get excellent results with Zymol better than any other product I`ve used and I`ve used Sovereign.

How easy is it to apply a very thin coat of wax using hand application rather than a foam pad? Do you apply with fingertips, palms or both?

It`s that (literally) by-hand application that stops me cold. Just not something I want to do no matter how great it might look :grinno:

Take two or three pea sized pieces, and rub them between your palms, fingers. It will reach a fine, creamy consistency, covering your entire hand surface. Then, gently start to massage the body with two hands; just as you`d do with a girl. It is a quite strange, mechanically sexual, but satisfying feeling and very easy to spread a really thin layer on the paint.

True, if you hate belt sanders, remove the wax after max. 30 seconds. The result will be pleasing but I never felt a pronounced difference between a good applicator and my hands. If you twist the applicator quick enough in the jar, you`ll reach the same consistency and the results are downright comparable.

My only concern is that our hands, skin is far more absorbent than we`d anticipate, therefore the thought that unknown solvents and the like are entering my body, causes me a little bit of discomfort. But just for the experience, it is definitely worth it.

...Then, gently start to massage the body with two hands...Do I need to buy it dinner first?

This process will ensure that even a Dodge Charger will have a face like the cat in Shrek 2...

What model Honda? If its white, its probably not clear-coated, and as such will be VERY hard. You shouldn`t be scared about hurting it...you should be scared of it hurting you! :D



I`m doing one currently...`99 Honda Civic. Three quarters of the way through and its hard work. Using 1Z Extra with a BO6040 on forced rotation. Its coming up nicely, but very slow. :faint:
