After hearing how good this stuff is for a year or so I finally took the plunge.
It's fantastic, you don't realise how bad the paint is until you've used the Klay bar, absolutely glass-like finish to the paint now!!
Can't recommend the product enough, well worth the 8 hours it took to do the process

Its a Brilliant Product.
The shine doesnt last as long as others but once you have built up the layers of wax the shine lasts longer.

Atlantique Glaze is outstanding.

Once you have used HD Cleanse then the wax / wasing period is cut down by over half the time.
And you only need to HD Cleanse twice a year.

problem is now I know where the stone chips are on the front! Anyone know of a bodyshop that's up to the factory standard?

Atlantique?

That one of the mega expensive ones, isn't it?

Well, I use Titanium and I have to say I'm delighted with it. Concours is meant to be very good too, but I'm not so sure the extra outlay justifies the finish.

Is it really that much better?

At least you get it refilled for life I suppose?

Greg, I went for the Ital as recommended. looks like that will last me for years given the amount I used and the fact that you only need to do it twice a year.
3200GT, I'm essex based so South coast isn't out of the question. Think I may leave til winter when I take the car off the road for the gritting season!

Yeah, I started with Carbon, which was mightily impressive. Then I bought a pot of Titanium, which was slightly better in terms of shine and durability.

I've still got loads of the Carbon left and also the Titanium. In fact, for my dads 60th I bought him a Titanium starter kit with Treat for his Bentley. He is delighted with it.

IMHO I find Swissol easier to apply.

Meguires for me. 9/10ths of the effect at a fraction of the price.

Agree there Davey. I used Meguairs on the Elise, absolutely superb. Its horses for courses, if the car is a second car its probably worth pampering with Zymol. In my case, the car was a daily drive doing 15K pa, so to keep the Zymol finish as it should be would have been like painting the Severn bridge.
