The sun came out this afternoon for a couple of hours so I couldn't help myself, had to give it a vac and wash and then as it was still nice I got the Zymol out of the fridge ( sad devil I know  ) So took a few pics and tried to get a few reflections as well. the last one is a street light but it looks like something from War of the Worlds

Cheers Mike, I use the Zymol Carbon. It's not as long lasting as some of the polishes available but does give a nice deep shine and if you use their own Natural autowash it lasts a bit longer.

when you run out,  try the titanium wax

 

it very long lasting, and will give a deeper more shinier finish

And he has very discerning taste..... or so he'd have you believe!

for one who oft ridicules those who post here in the shiny section he seems to spend a lot of time in here..... Mmm Closet Polisher Simon? Go on, admit it you love a quick buff when no one is looking.....

Steven you can come up to mine and do mine if your that boared but you will have to take your thermals with you.

I've plenty of guiness in fridge oh and plenty of single malts in cupboard you might not see what you are doing but at least you will be warm and happy.

If you can't be good don't get caught

Mike318is, Yes I have thought about trying the Titanium. Will get some in the future

 

Ian, your offer is very tempting, the single malts have almost swung it.

I thought the pics were meant to be of a car, not trees, lamposts and vein photographers

Very shiny

Nice 1

Yeh it does sound a bit daft doesn't it

Zymol is made of completely natural products and as such once exposed to the atmosphere will go off ( like food it goes mouldy) so once it has been opened they recommend that you keep it in the bottom of the fridge. Missus wasn't too impressed at first but I put it in a ziplock bag and its fine. They do say you can eat zymol with no ill effects although I doubt it would taste nice. Smells very nice though, like coconut.

I never knew that, i've been using a bottle for a few months now, it sits out in the garage (damn cold!) but seems to be ok, will keep an eye on it though!
