Sorry gents no products going free but the advice always will be, i have being using Zymol for 10 years now with many concours trophies from Porsche under my belt and was also appointed instructor of detailers for Zymol uk last year so you will be safe with the information i give.

check out the various sites out there www.zdouk.com they will give you all the rundown of the products but if you do need a hand applying them or even if you wish for me to do it for you please just contact me, i can guarantee you will not acheive the level of protection and finish from any other waxes and even more importantly its totally natural

Hi there Balmoral Green, now there is a colour which looks fantastic!. with regards to waxing your car once the paintwork has been completed i would leave it for 10 days to totally harden and then start the process. you will 1st need to klay the car which will remove any form of overspray or impurities which may have been missed. 2 nd stage hd cleanse the paint to acheive a totally swirl free finish and flat feel. then finally the wax, using a hand crafted wax from Zymol will add a coat of carnauba at least 37% stronger than other products on the market, some of the above sounds complecated but the results are outstanding and make life so much easier in the long run with any future paint maintainence.
i hope this helps

i have never used the meguirs quick klay as i steer away from chemical/solvent products but i am told it does not last very long although another detailer i have just checked with says it is ok to do just one car.
you are correct with all the other stages and especially the concours wax this is the best value for money wax available, dont be too put off by the price you will get approx 40 applications from 1 pot.
if you choose to order the products drop me a line or contact john drake www.johndrakemodels.co.uk mention i have given you his name and he will look after you. tel him on 01590 654623.
please feel free to contact me if you have any other queries

well pointed out, i can tell you a test that will open yours eyes and also tell you wether your car needs the klay treatment.
simply remove the cellophane wrapper from a cigar or cigarette packet and insert 2 fingers into it. (make sure car has been washed recently)
and with your fingers still inside the cellophane gently wipe your paints surface (fingerprint side) and if it feels like a piece of silk with no minor imperfections then email me as you are one of a very small minority.
you are more likely to feel the paint surface like sandpaper, if so your car needs preparing correctly and even more important with the correct products.
let me know how you get on

Great to hear, drop me a line if you need any advice applying, the instructions some times are a little confusing although john does put some of his own in which are much better

Their view on expensive car waxes was comically funny. Autoglym seems to be the factory recommendation.


thats why most chauffeur driven cars, hurses, wedding cars are full of swirl marks

doing the klay in the sun will not make any difference but make sure when you have done 1 panel that you wipe it over with a chamois as to get rid of any water marks, the wax is another thing, Zymol is fine working in direct sunlight as you are only doing 1 panel at a time but be very careful with others as they have chalk added as a drying agent so can become very difficult to remove.

good luck
