Try looking at the Zymol website @ www.zymol.co.uk
The stuff is wicked, i've been using it since i bought the car in Oct 2001 after seeing glowing reports by Tifosi Red. Try getting a starter pack with either Japon wax or if you are feeling flush the NSX stuff is ace

The supermarket stuff whilst good is not a patch on the "real" stuff,

if you need any more help just PM me,

cheers,

Sanjay

Yep, I have been bitten by the offside tail pipe of my car - it doesnt half hurt

I have never seen Zymol in Halfords - anyone know if this this a regional thing, or have they recently started stocking it? (I occasionally pop into their Croydon and Crawley superstores)

I've just looked on the www.halfords.com site Ian and it is on there.

How come the stuff on the Zymol site is so much more expensive? Is it because it contains carnauba wax?


I use Meguiars mould release wax at work and this also contains carnauba wax. My manager said that you could use it on the car but is quite hard work. Might give it a try on a small area.

Steven,

the stuff stocked by the supermarkets, Halfords etc. is i believe made by turtle wax and isn't the same as the "real" Zymol products that both Tif and i use. From looking at the US board, it still gets a pretty good write up.
You pays your money....

Last time I rang Zymol they tried to sell me NSX wax which according to their website is especially for aluminium painted panels - and we have only one of these (the bonnet) so Im not sure how relevant it is.

Of course, S2000's are made in the same factory as NSX's so theoretically same paint job???
