Zymol convert...
Discussion
In the spirit of letting people know about good service...
Just had the full Zymol treatment from DB Valeting. The car looks fantastic, and the sort of bespoke service provided didn't cost what I'd imagined.
If anyone doesn't have the time (or inclination) to properly clean their own car, you could do very much worse than give Dave a call.
Paintwork is ultra smooth and shiny, and should now be nicely protected against the elements.
Pictures under dodgy garage lighting here:

Will put more up when I next get sunlight on the car.
No links other than one very satisfied customer.

Sod the Zymol! Where the hell has that car been hiding on P.Heads!!!!!
Dare I ask how much a decent one of those will go for? It is truly sublime in a very drooly sort of way
Back on topic though... I would like to see a yellow car that had been Zymolled... I just have a suspicion that the effect might not be so dramatic as red?

Sorry Al. I posted on FChat and neglected here.
Perhaps I should start a thread here.
On the Zymol, I'm pretty sure I saw a yellow car in Dave's portfolio, but could be wrong.
Either way, as the thread says I'm a convert and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it or Dave's services.
The wax even smells really nice!

Andy - did he use the blue Zymol? I used to use it on my RS and whilst it wasn't the easiest thing in the world to apply - it gave a superb finish.
What you need is some decent evening pix of the car to show off the shine - preferably somewhere not too far from me so that I get my promised ride in it

The blue wax you used was probably Zymol carbon,
Zymol Carbon is an excellent wax and is designed as an introduction to Zymol products , it gets you involved in the first place with a finish that is better than anything you would normally get from halfords etc.
But I always view it and supply it as a maitenance wax This is why I always apply Zymol Vintage first and then supply the carbon to maintain it with.
I would imagine the reason for you struggling with it would be one of two things.
Before you apply any Zymol wax you must apply HDcleanse to the paintwork first.
The other being that a lot of people not familiar with Zymol tend to scoop it out like sun cream , leave it to dry and then struggle to rub it off.
It is very highly concentrated and one twelve of a turn with the applicator pad holds enough wax to cover the bonnet and wings , and it is best to do it a panel at a time and rub it in whilst it is still moist.(the wax that is) .
If any of you guys/girls want any more info my email address is dbvaleting@aol.com.
Cheers

I've not long done my car with it and I am convert too.
Stunning depth to the shine and seems to last well.
I was told not to use Carbon wax, but to use the Ital wax as it's formulated to be better on italian paintwork which is apperntly very soft.
In any case, it's good stuff.
I notice Dave mentions the applicator pad, in my instructions it says to use the pad for the HDcleanse but to apply the wax with your hand.
Presumably thats one of the differances between the carbon and Ital?

Another photo of the Daytona , as Andy said earlier the light wasn't very good but it does give you an idea how good it looks

Thats right mate , as you go up the higher grades there is a higher concentration of carnauba so it has to be melted in the hand first.
I use Meguiers? (sp) as I used it on my Laguna seca blue M3 solid colour and it was fantastic. I've changed car to a metalic silver grey Maserati and although its a colour which tolerates dirt really well, I dont get the depth of shine I had with the solid blue. I presume thats the clear top coat more than anything. Any tips for metalics??

If you use Zymol on your masser you will get more depth to the finish , granted not as much as a solid colour but you will see a big difference. What it will do more than anything is enhance the metalic in the finish and bring the colour alive , I'll try and post some photo's of silver cars if i can.
