Zymol

[93097004xx]

Recently I decided to wax my 930 with Zymöl..

I am entering a concours but a non judged entry.

I have never used the wax before but have heard so much about it. I want to try it but want to use it with the best possible results.

Anyhow pointers?

Those who have used it can you give some tips?

Yikes $$$$.... I haven't used that product but I don't think it would be much different from Swissvax etc.

In the past I've spent days correcting and finishing a car. Not so much lately.
"Lots of elbow grease"... Hard work but well worth it on the right car paint finish/condition.
Swissvax - It's best to warm the products before use. Just some hot water and let the product sit for a while. (not ABOVE THE LID LINE)

No matter what you use, be sure to leave a can of Turtle Wax and some rags nearby to confuse the competition.

Back in the day, I was awarded a few concours wins. I tried Zymol carbon on my Irish green car that still sported it's original paint. I went back to using mostly Meguires products.

WTF? You have a lifetime supply there... Just hook in and start using it already.

Wondering what the of level detail will be for the average entry.. Ive heard story’s of crying, fighting and entrants being asked to leave because of incorrect or nonfactory “aftermarket or reproduction parts” being present on a original car.

I know of one instance of this at a porsche concours and 7 to 10 at the ferrari events over the years..

Let me say that my goal is to get through the day and not have eyebrows raised..

I know concours judges tolerated 0 inaccuracies..

I don't know much about Concourse but I do know if you work really hard on your car you'll do better than most.

Clean is the thing. Que tips and time

You say that you are in a non-judged class, so I wouldn’t be concerned with any of that. If it’s a big event, there will be rules and guidelines which you can read if you want to learn more about it.

The greatest amount of work in making paint look good happens long before you put the wax on, so I don’t think the choice of wax is all that big a deal.

I once spent a month getting a year-old car ready for a local concours event, I didn’t ever do that again.

Should have asked for opinions before you bought all of that.

Can you return it and get your money back?

Over priced and way over hyped.

PM me if you want.

I haven’t used wax in years, switched to Zaino Brothers stuff and haven’t looked back. Way better than any wax I ever tried.

My boss from years ago used Zaino on his car when he went to sell it. I have used some high end carnuba, but the results on his car were significantly better than I thought he could get.

I would do Zaino or look at ceramic if I had a car of worth.

OP: you might get a better response to your question over on F-chat.

what really matters is what you do BEFORE waxing

all waxes are just carnauba wax with some additives to liquify it - Zymol is over-priced, way way over-priced...

non-wax "waxes" last a lot longer, but you don't care about longevity for a concours

use a buffer (I use a random orbit sander with a foam pad)

a concours judge will look all over the car - places you did not know existed...

have fun!

For those who believe a clean car is spiritual...supernatural wax.

I used zymol exclusively on my 1993 Saleen. The car was non clear coated and I thought it gave the best results. The car did look greasy after the application, but after a few days I would get the car out in the sun and rebuff it and the shine just got deeper. Do not let the HD Cleanse dry on the car.

You need some of this..

Here comes my dick post.


I would rather get a trophy for driving it than for it being parked.


That is now out of the way.

Have you considered a paint correction detail then application of Ceramic Coating? Makes the car look like it was just waxed, and a garage queen would look that way for years.

I did a Zymol applicaton on one of my cars 10+ years ago, IIRC it was a 3 step process with me misting water on the car between applications.

I think the newest tech out there now is beyond what Zymol is doing unless they have changed their formula and are using current tech and not riding on tradition.
