Mas, I use Zymol on both my Porsche and the Merc.

Use Titanium on the Pork, Carbon on the Taxi.

Stunning results, best wax I've ever used. A lot of elbow grease (especially for all three stages) but well worth it.

The tubs of wax (the £££ part) last ages too, so its not too expensive in the long run.

The Parc Ferme rep told me the only diff between carbon and ital was the food colouring used to make it red!

Like Rev Thomas, Zymol.

In my case, Zymol Concours: it's the only way.

The only problem is it takes 8 hours to apply properly and if your car is a dark finish the effect can be ruined in seconds on a subsequent drive but for autoposturing catharsis, little beats it.

Maser,

I valet cars professionally and have used all products on the market. For my own penny's worth, I prefer Swissol to anything else. The finish is comparable to Zymol, but IMHO, I find Swissol easier to apply and consistently I achieve stunning results.

I declare that I sell Swissol. But I do so because I genuinely believe in the product.

regards,

To answer your question one needs to ask what are you using the car for?? if its just a once a month sunday outing or for show then Zymol is a goos as any.

You must remmember that preparation is more importnant than the wax you use so use someything like zymol cleanse before you wax or use synthetic

There are two types synthetic and normal wax- zymol ect.

Having tried them all the one that gived the best lasting finish is ZAINO or KLASSE. They have many advantages over normal waxes. They dont attract dirt and the finish does not become contaminated; thats the probem with wax, after a while you have to remove it all! with synthetic The shine lasts for about a year and after a wash you can use a spray to provide a final finish.
