Default Zymol Ital

Aaron and I used this to wax our cars yesterday and they look great. I didn't have my digital camera with me but I will try to get some pics in the next day or two. His is black and there were no swirl marks and mine is yellow and it was shinier than it had ever been.

This stuff is so easy to use that I just can't imagine going through all of the steps that you have to with Zaino. Nothing against Zaino and those who like it, but this was just too easy and it looks great.

This is not the blue Zymol that you can buy in Wal Mart by the way, you have to buy this from their website and it is $78 for 8 ounces. The consistency is very odd as it looks like a grainy butter and smells like imitation banana. It does not leave any white powdery residue or any residue for that matter.

Just thought I would share.

Why are you using the Ital? That is specificly made for Ferrari's and other "Italian" cars. I will be using the Japon. Yes that stuff is very easy to use when used by the directions!

Just use the full Zymol line to keep it up. HD-Cleans to prep the car and the car wash to reactivate the wax. You can go a long long time with no reapplication. Works really well.

Just wish more people knew what you and I do!

I remember not too long ago a member with an NSX hood did an experiment with all the popular brands of waxes/polishes. Did he not discover that the plain-Jane Wally-Mart Zymol was as good as the one that costs a gazillion bucks? AND better than the "special" NSX wax that cost 2 gazillion bucks!

Aaron offered to let me use it for free so I could not pass that up. I find it kind of odd that they have wax formulated for Italian, Japanese, etc... I can't really see why there needs to be a huge difference.

Anyway, my point was that the Ital was easy to apply, it looks great after one application, and it does not leave any white powdersy residue.

Zymol was popular but guys up here are using the new Gold Class by Meguiar's .. It supposed to even better than the expenisve Zymol. ? I dunno, but will try it soon.

I have used the blue Zymol, even the latest turtle wax and could not see a difference. However, I will use this new Meguiar's as every detailer up here are recommending it..

what have you heard of this new Meguiar's Gold Class ?

The reason I go that route is that we don't get Zaino in Canada..
