"Zymol" is at any auto store, I bought mine for about $17 a small bottle. The wax is really good for dark colors. After you apply the wax and take it off, mist the fresh was with h2o and wipe dry with a really soft rag or shirt. Hey is that what happened to your shirt? You used to to buff the car clean. After your all done the dark color really shines

I'm in Hastings, about an hour an a half from Lincoln. But get this! I'm leaving for Sioux City tomorrow for a missions trip I'm going on. I'll be there for a week.

Cafeful...not all Zymol is the same. The stuff they sell at Cosco and at Pep Boys is not the same as their higher class line.

I would recommend either KLASSE or Zaino.

Zymol is the ****. It took me a few tries to get the hang of the stuff, but once I got it down, it really popped my monetgo in a big way. They key is to apply it and quickly take it of, flipping the towle several times. I mist after I have done a major protion, again, flipping the towle several times. The misting gets rid of all the streaks and blends it all together. Very good stuff for $14-$17. I would love to see what the $50 bottle does.

The Summit Import Catalogue says the Flowmasters are not for use in rotary applications. Why? Durability? Sound?

What type of Zymol is that? The reflections and depth is great.


Gordon:

I waxed today (actually yesterday since its 2 AM)

By the time I finished the sun was setting so I didnt take any pics. I'll try to take some tommorow so you can see. The wax was easy to apply and buff off. It is a very clear wax and feels greasy.. different than what Im used to. I'll post details and pics in the "best wax" post...

edit: Here is a website that has tons of stuff. They have Klasse, Pinnacle Souveran ( the stuff I just got), P21s, etc, etc
www.properautocare.com I highly reccomend them

I just recently used something called "Five Star Shine" on my FD. It's about $70 for a small bottle - I'd never buy anything else again. You don't hve to wax your car for 5 years! I put it on about 5 months ago any water or rain still beads up like I just waxed it an hour ago. It's not wax though, it's a substance used by the Navy to protect different planes and ships. Pretty amazing stuff. I used a buffer. I think it's 5starshine.com (something like that)
