Default Zaino/zymol

This topic may be covered somewhere as I suspect others would have come across this. I have not had my car long and want to keep it as well as the previous owner who Zaino'd it from new. I haven't got any of this stuff and as its hard to get (unless there's a group buy coming up soon) I was going to use zymol. Can you put zymol over zaino...What do you think?

Yes - a top-coat of Zymol over Zaino is positively encouraged by some people - the carnauba in Zymol is supposed to provide a nice gloss to finish off the more durable shine provided by Zaino.

(Assuming it's the "proper" Zymol anyway, rather than the Hellfords range - I don't know whether the same holds true for that)

Another alternative is P21S (which is a mixture of carnuba and beeswax I think), I got some of this recently after some board members gave it good reports and applied a coat over some Zaino at the weekend. I was very impressed with it, the extra shine was noticable and the surface seems much more resilient to dust. I drove 250 miles, through rain in places, and when I got back the finish was still looking immaculate.

Can't recommend it highly enough

Ah! I did wonder why. Looks like the site is "stuttering" again - it's been doing so every now and again since V4 was rolled out last week.

However at some point you are going to want to use a polish, and that means either Zaino or using Zymol HD-Cleanse which is going to strip off the zaino anyway, and you'll then just be using Zymol on Zymol. (Which there's nothing wrong with of course )


If you've any Zymol questions, they may be answered here. Zymol FAQ

Hi Wyn,

I told you these guys/gals on the forum were great for help and information.

It is good to hear that you want to keep the S looking at her best.

Regards

John
