Default Quick questions about Zymol Paste Waxes.

Greets,
Ive been looking at Zymols Ebony Paste Wax ( http://www.autoanything.com/car-care/69A3066A0A0.aspx) for a while and wanted to know...

1. Has anyone used it and what did they think
2. It states for non-clearcoat cars.....dont all modern cars have clear coated paint, or is there a different definition of clear coat pertaining to this product?


Thanks guys!



PS...this section always makes my car look so dirty =(

The definition of a clear coat - [Two stage paint; base (colour) coat and clear coat was adopted as an automotive industry standard in 1982] clear coat is a polyethylene paint but without colour pigmentation, its applied to provide the colour coat (base coat) with shine

Not all automotive paint has a clear coat applied [base and colour coats (hence products made for non-clear coat paint)

I have used Zymol on several cars, including my current S2K and absolutely love it. Easy on, easy off and smells great. I find it doesn't last as long as some of the Mothers and Meguires products but I wax fairly often.
