IMO you'll notice it when you get back and are trying to get the bug splats off the front

I have tried the Zymol stuff a couple of times and I find it hard work to apply and the buffing is very difficult leaving small granulates on the paint - or am I doing something wrong?

Process is;

1 - wash with autobathe
2 - HD cleanse, you need to use loads of it to properly clean the paintwork
3 - apply about half a pea's worth to a panel with your hands, melt it first in your palms and rub hands over panel
4 - let it stand on the paint for a couple of minutes
5 - spread with a terry cloth
6 - buff off with another terry cloth

you will get little residue spots but you should be able to buff them off eventually

also don't apply it when the bodywork is warm or in direct sunlight otherwise you'll need a hammer and chisel to get it off

typically a 911 is around 4/5 hours work (incl stella/fag breaks)
