This product is now available within the UK but some people will pay anything to have it sooner.....The retail is £11.99. They would have been better buying the Zymol Field glaze at £19.00 a bottle or the Swissvax Detail spray at a fraction of the cost! :roll:

an unbiast opinion here,

Zaino Z-8 is a great product. which is nice and easy to use, but it is quite expensive if i remeber rightly.

Here is my routine car programme.

Then full detail approx 2-3 months which will include:-

Wash, Clay Bar, Swissol Cleaner Fluid (Strenghts will depend on Swilrs etc) and Swissol Carnuba Wax

Hi Ian. I don't mind paying the extra £Â£Ã‚£ for the right product. I want the best finish for the paint-work.
