Zymol wax cleaner question...

NewShockerGuy · 07-26-2007, 12:57 PM

So I figured I'd try out Zymol today when I went to advance to get oil to change my oil later this evening...

I normally only use NXT gen Meguires wax since I really liked it and never had a problem with it...

I did also get Meguires NXT gen with the Zymol

That's what I got. It says Wax cleaner? So do I use this AFTER my waxing or this IS the wax...

Just kinda threw me off as I havn't really heard of a wax cleaner before...etc

Any tips before I go to town with it? I do this all by hand, I have never used an elctric buffer... (though I wouldn't mind it actually, prolly saves sooo much time) But I take it just like the directions say, section at a time in thin coats using my aplicator pad...

Thanks,
-Nigel

cleaner wax is like a first step or one step product... i have that stuff and have used it before... if you plan on using it i would top it with a carnuba.

I use Meguire's Cleaner Wax, using a simple applicator pad doing one section at a time. Once that's done, I use Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant ontop of the meguires. Then it REALLY shines!

So I did the whole car using Zymol... Now I should use my mcguire's next gen wax to go ontop of it right?

Thanks

i used to use Zymol all the time on my other cars. works really well, only thing is it dries really quick so make sure you get it off quickly.

I never put another coat of anything on top of it though. I just use a quick detailer or wax as you dry with every wash, always looked great.

I have used Zymol on a black car and it works great. I dont think you have to use anything else i never did but it cant hurt.

zymol is the sh*t. I guess I'm going to use another wax after after reading all these posts. I just used zymol by itself and cars always looked awesome. Takes out swirls as well.

Ditto. I used that stuff for 7 years, on a black car, and now a blue. I never used anything after applying and removing it.
