that looks nice
as i have said before zymol is a quality product
but.............................
its a wax and its durability is not good
it deteriorates very quickly unless topped up very regular
i have some concours zymol here and its good but not as good as others

its not just zymol wax that does this i might add its all waxes

they never quite shine the same after the first wash then the second ,third etc and as a week passses two weeks the impact drops off somewhat

nice car and a nice finish

but after a wash and a going over with detail spary gets it looking good again

Thats looks really good mate. I am thinking about investing in a tub too in a month or two. Have you got the full size tub or is it the one you get in the sampler size packs?

Also c76jon, what do you think of Zaino? I have yet to try it although I have heard it looks kind of plasticy or artificial if you know what I mean. Yuur car looks stunning btw, have you use zaino on it? Can you send me some pics plz! 8)

cool mate. I am going to get the full tub hopefully within the next 2 months. Did you use your hands to put it on or an apllicator pad? :)
