You only need the HD cleanser (about a tenner) and the standard wax (carbon for mid/dark colours or creame for light colours) which costs about thirty quid, to zymol a car. see www.sportscarworld.ltd.uk for the UK distributor site
The wax should last for ages, as I only used a fraction of the tub, and that is meant to last for months if cared for (ie only wash car with water not detergents later). You have to keep the wax in the fridge after opening, as well!
I am impressed so far, but it takes ages to clean the car thoroughly before application, and then ages to polish off the zymol - it goes worryingly matt before shining up.
After though, it looks fantastic, and bird shit bounces off it, rather than sticking to the paintwork. Not tried the dried flies yet, but hopefully they will come off more easily.
So yes, I like zymol, as don't polish my car everyday, and you can see the difference that the zymol layer makes. It is good value as well, as a tub should last for years. Although their most expensive product is 1299 GBP, which makes you wonder how much anyone is willing to spend on polish (even if it is a lifetime's supply).
I have also taken to waxing my wheels (no waxing my rim jokes thank you Scottster) with furniture wax, as the brake dust just wipes off and doesn't cake on. Works well.

Mate I wouldn't dream of it 
I leave that to UV now!!
If you don't have time for that (and DOm really was out there for a whole day, try Autoglym High resin polish. I did the 993 with it on Monday evening and it took an hour to do the whole car (and I've always been very impressed with the finish)
Costs about a tenner too but you can get it from Halfords now I think.
