I used it before and was very impressed with the results. I find Meguiars just as good. ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

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. |

Always used Zymol cleaner wax but it needs the final wet seal n polish to really bring it out:    ------------- Gentlemen I may not have a brain but I do have an idea Past; E39 540T/E46 328CI/ E39 535/ E39 520/ E36 M3/ E36 318iS jet black Mtech/ E46 320d/ E36 318iS diamond black/ E36 318iS blue Mtech kit |

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. ------------- Gentlemen I may not have a brain but I do have an idea Past; E39 540T/E46 328CI/ E39 535/ E39 520/ E36 M3/ E36 318iS jet black Mtech/ E46 320d/ E36 318iS diamond black/ E36 318iS blue Mtech kit |
