I used it before and was very impressed with the results. I find Meguiars just as good.

Its the prep work before hand that makes the difference between a good finish and a fantastic one, the LSP only adds about 5% to a well prep'd car.

And above all with most waxes its a very subjective matter.

Which Zymol wax are you thinking of trying?

I use MER - mainly because I'm a lazy so-and-so and can't be bothered to completely dry the car first

 

Works for me though

Cats know your every thought.

But don't care.

I just tried the zymol Carbon on mine and it came out ok

 

not convinced its any better than the blackfire wet diamond i used before

Summer tho i will be getting a detail done with vintage,so that should look better,but then again its �1800 a tin Lol

Always used Zymol cleaner wax but it needs the final wet seal n polish to really bring it out:

Those cars of yours look great.  The final seal & polish that you mention, is that another additional product by Zymol to the wax?

I use turtle wax professional (trade product), does an amazing job when used with the car polisher buffer toy but will definately have to get a bottle of that Zymol stuff to try out as well.

Not another product. On all the cars the process has been;

wash and rinse
wash again with Meguiars gold class shampoo
rinse and chamois
Meguiars clay bar detailing
colour magic polish
Zymol wax, one panel at a time, buff off when gone hazy.
Once the whole car's done I then go back over, again one panel at a time, putting a fine spray of water over the panel and buffing dry to really seal the wax.

Takes ages and you're neighbours'll think you've lost the plot but def worth it in my book.
