Default Zymol

Have any of you tried zymol, I've read that it is suppose to be a real good car care product. I use Zaino now and was wondering how it compares

I have used it,,,I think it smells good,,,kinda like coconut,,,have a little left for leather and am going to use it up on my seats. As a matter of fact I have tried a lot of leather cleaners and conditioners and can't tell any difference in any of them. So i will go with what smells the best to me.

I think there is a couple of different grades of Zymol. If its the crap you buy at WalMart. Well...its crap IMHO. Stick with Zaino.

I haven't used their wax or leather conditioning products, but I use their car wash exclusively on my Vette.

I have used Zymol for years - it is my favorite by far. The WalMart version is crap - as a matter of fact I think Turtle Wax bought that line from them. Go to the website and get the creame, carbon, or estate wax. It's expensive but worth it. Make sure you refrigerate after opening the canister (no BS!).

I used in but my car was brand new. Lots of shine and good durability. Brought out the metal-flake in the AE color a lot.

I will continue to use it until I can beat the shine and the ease of use!

I used it for a while. Good results but I find it much more difficult to use than NXT.

The Zymol you can buy at Wally World is not the Zymol that you have to order to get and costs A few hundred $$ for the kit! (maybe more)

I have used Zymol's Black Pigmented Wax on my car. Like the shine. Water still rolls off after 3 weeks...tested it today. My wax of choice is Griots Garage Best Of Show Wax. I used the Zymol before the winter because I am running low on BOS Wax.
