Any tips to get the best out of zymol.

Got my Zymol the other day,limited instructions as to how best to apply.
Are there any tricks of the trade to get the best out of it ?

Preparation and planning.

You need to ensure that the surface which you are waxing is spot on, so spend time with the clay bar and the HD Cleanse making sure that the surface that you are about to seal is as good as it can possibly be.

Also, make sure that you warm the zymol properly so it goes on smooth, and that you do a couple of coats with a proper delay between them to allow it to cure.

Also, think of yourself, so dont expect to do the whole thing in one sitting without tea and biccies.

Hi, before you start Zymoling make sure the paint is unmarred and swirl free.

Just completed a 2 day detail on a heavily modified 996 GT3 with Z***l Conc***s.

Removed swirls with Porter Cable and then onto HD-Cl***se and wax.

My advice is to spend as much time as possible preparing the surface and really use the HDC to create the right bonding surface for the wax. I leave the wax in the sun and then warm a small amount in my hands then apply.

I don't find trying to apply more than one layer helps. A second application partially removes the first. You can do what they call Spit Wax, which is fine spray a Quick Detailer between layers, but I believe it doesn't apply to a wax as good as one from Z***l.

Remember, once initially buffed off, leave an hour and go back and do a final buff. This really finishes the job.













This is the swirling




Swirling gone




I am absolutely knackered, but the owner went home happy.

Thanks Damon,that looks fantastic-hope he took you out for a burn in it before starting the job !

Is there a place to get qualify to Zymol, or is it just something that one learns as one goes along.

You can pay for entry into the accredited Detailer scheme, but it is expensive and there a annual fee.

Its all in the prep, the wax end is the easy part so get a good detailer round to do your car and spend all day learning.

Damon, the look in that GT3 suggests that you are just the right person to show me how it's done.

Would be more than happy to but your location is a problem. I am based in Cheshire.

I think its more than just a case of paying for entry into the detailer scheme. There is a lot of criteria which needs to be met and only a very select few are picked.
