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

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. ------------- 1998 E36 318iS Saloon 1989 E30 318i. Coupe 2000 E39 520i Touring

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..... ------------- The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. |

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.

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. ------------- 1998 E36 318iS Saloon 1989 E30 318i. Coupe 2000 E39 520i Touring

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!

Is it one of the ones in a tub like these. If so it says on the label to refridgerate after opening but I think they do make another type that is chemical based so does not need to go in the fridge.
