:-D :-D Does anyone use this stuff. I love it but it is way spendy, smells good too. Best performing wax ever, or am I wrong. Please list wax's that have comparable performance and let me know what you think of it in general. :)

I have used it quite a bit on my other cars and bike. Love the stuff. Have not used it on the "E" yet. I am looking for the best stuff as well. Going to "clay" for the first time this Spring and looking for some ideas.

Zymol is on of my favorites, but I really like anything made by Meguiers.

Meguiers is on the top of my list.

There is some stuff called Ibiz, it is supposed to be the best wax EVER.

So I have heard, But it is pricey also.

I have noticed that I spend a lot on wax, that may be somthing you have to do in order to get the best quality.

Hope this helps.

I use it too and it was a break when Costco began selling 2-packs of them at their warehouse price.
Must be careful not to be sipping on a potent tropical drink while waxing the 'E' or you may wind up with a mouth full of the wrong stuff!!

Sometimes I'm a bit lazy and decide to use "Wax as You Dry" because it saves a couple of steps.

On other boards, people swear by Zaino as the best of the best. There is something like a 6 part process available- including a clay bar. Personally, I haven't tried it.

Zymol is the best that I have used, meguire's comes next. Haven't tried the clay, but for a standard wax this is great.

I have used Zymol in the past. It's ok but Black Magic wet shine liquid is better. It is cheaper and seems to clean and shine longer than anything else.
I think I will stick with Black Magic and use Eagle "Wax As You Dry" between waxing. Seems like the perfect combination for my E and Accord.

yeah, as a matter of fact I just used it this weekend.
Stuff is great, I over coat it with NXT for a deep looking shine.

Have a go with Mequiar's Synthetic Sealant #21. Easy on and off and a super lustre.

Which Zymol are you using? There's the stuff they sell in the regular stores and then they have a wide range of ones that are available through more specialty places that range in price from about $46 up to $1852.00. At least for the $1800 you get free refills on it!

I haven't used the Zymol stuff in a long time but I did like their Cleaner Wax that they sold in regular stores. I also tried their bottom of the line wax ( http://www.zymol.com/crecar2.htm ) and from what I remember it took a lot of work.

I've recently got hooked on http://www.pinnaclewax.com Theirs is expensive (but way less than $2000) I find if I use their Crystal Mist spray wax for a real quick touch-up (about 5-10 minutes for the whole vehicle) every month or so it really lasts. The touch up is just to boost the shine as it keeps beading water for much longer than that. Has a nice depth to the shine too. Goes on and off easily.

I use Optimum Car Wax (http://www.optimumcarcare.com/optimumwax.html) on my E and love the results. Its a spray on wipe off product that really works. I even use it on the panels. it has UV protection too! A little goes a long way and it has a good life span of 5 months or so before you need to re-apply. I also use their other products too all with good results. The car wash and wax are the ones I use the most though.
