Discussion
I have been a big fan of the joys of Zymol. It is superb stuff and I like everything about it, I have been using it since I got the car. I have quite a stock of the stuff but I need some shampoo etc so chatted to the guys at Parc Ferme, my local expert.
I have been using the "ital" glaze because it is designed for ferraries and italian super cars. The wax is blended so it will deal with the flexable nature of plastic bodywork.
My pot cost £60, expensive but it goes a looong way so I can justify it.
It is now £360! No change in the composition, no changes in the product but as I have been told " the owner of Zymol figures a ferrari owner can afford it".
Get stuffed! That is outrageous. So when my current inventory of zymol expires, I will buy no more.
What should I get?

I think it's pretty good but car products seem to be personal preferance! I certainly don't think any of them can justify £360!!!!

Between Jay and I we have gone crazy on my car these past couple of weeks, lots of photos and things will be posted this weekend (dam it looks good!) anyhow, he's kindly used a pot of Zymol (<£200/pot) and it is frankly amazing. Anyhow, more feedback on that (if it helps) at the weekend, but I had great success with DoDo Juice.
I also have a pot of poor boys and thought it was ok - not amazing.
DoDo juice (they do different ones for different body colours) is really good, I found the shine worked really well if you put it on a good surface; eg clayed and contaminant free.
But if you have a bit more of a budget, there are other things out there in the Zymol range I think....dodo juice was £30ish I think, whereas £60 might get you a bit more.
I'm waffling...

to a burger run in a couple of weeks.With regard to the car cleaning, I use Meguires.
t on a stick as well. But they ain't going to buy it!Personally a fan of Zaino. I have to agree with the 2nd poster in this thread where he says it comes down to personal choice. I find the liquid nature of Xaino works well for me and I can continue to build the layers up as I go throughout the year post its forthcoming claybar and back to the clear coat start it gests each spring.
As a top layer for water repellency and propoer wet look I swear by P21S - a great carnuba product imho.
