Anyone know about this stuff or used it?

Here is what the site has to say about it, which isn't much.



Aerodynamic body components such as bumpers, air dams and wings are made of fiberglass, PVC, polypropylene, polyurethane and ABS. The painting process on these parts requires a paint with a vinyl base for flexibility (a "flex agent"). Solvent and alcohol-based treatments cause the paint to lose this flex agent and become brittle. zymöl Detail is an oil-rich feeding product that restores original moisture and seals the paint with a hard-cured finish.



What exactly does all that crap mean?? Is it a wax for clear coat or what?

Crap is a polite way to refer to it.



IMO (and it's only that), what it means is that they think they can convince people to buy their product by saying that stuff ;)



I've never heard of anything "restoring moisture", or otherwise altering, already-cured b/c paint. If it was mixed right in the first place it'll stay flexible with normal (as in, like any other paint) care.



Note that Zymol sells wax for Italian cars, Japanese cars, red cars, SUVs, etc. etc. They push the idea that everyone needs a special wax matched to their exact application. Many of us consider that to be nothing more than advertising copy of dubious functional validity.



If I had your car, and wanted to keep it original for, say, 150 years, I wouldn't feel the need to use that stuff on the parts painted with flex-agent.

I was mainly wondering what all that meant not really wanting to put it on my car.

Basically, they are saying that you should use this wax on the painted plastic parts of your vehicle to keep them from drying out.
