Well what can I say... I bought a bottle of Zymol from halfords
Following instructions I applied the zymol liquid and the end result was fantastic... Mush better than Auto Glym! and smells like Bicardi! LOL
The result was a really high glossed car. It is the same amount of work as applying AutoGlym although I did not see as much residue as what AutoGlym leaves.
Thumbs up from me 9 out of 10

Yeah... i was very impressed.. and I am sure a few more times using that would get even better.... I can even smell the fruity smell indoors.

steve, the liquid stuff is good, but the wax that you put on with your hands,( yep bare hands on to car is absolutly stunning, just takes a bit of time.

Bare hands tony? :?:
I applied this in long strokes instead of circular motions.. this saves the swirl effect when the suns on it.

as Zymol might get popular with people on the site i think all of you should have a quick look of this first just so you dont get ripped off! [url="http://www.zymol.com/warn3.htm"]http://www.zymol.com/warn3.htm[/url]
also a bit strange that on the US and all the UK sites there is not one mention of a liquid polish! - ill email themand see what the response is.

I've been using the 'Concours' estate glaze recently - after an HD-Cleanse.
As morph said, it takes some effort but it comes up pretty shiny and without the usual swirlmarks.
I guess how impressive it is depends on what you're used to.
I'm trying to get them to put together a Lexus owners club pack (for Gold members naturally).
Will report in the Gold forums when progress is made.
BTW, i see on their website, in answer to 'Wheres cheapest to buy zymol'
They say - Halfords for the SUV stuff and zymol.co.uk for the rest.
SUV stuff being for trucks and barges Steve

That is the url I sent you Steve!!! I got my Zymol kit from there..... The NSX stuff is very very very slightly better than the Japon stuff, but much harder to use (and more expensive) - so I 'make do'
I got the starter kit Japon and treat which includes leather conditioner etc. All the towels etc included, cost £90 which is much cheaper than buying the items individually.
These are the real deal - very good!

My neighbour came round earlier asking what polish i used on my car yesterday.. said it look like glass on the car...

Well my neighbours now know I have lost the plot! On the bottle of Zymol it states that you must not apply in direct sunlight. and as I was going to go to Bournmouth today I decided to treat Lex to an early morning wash and wax. before the sun got too strong. Makes sense to me. So I was out there in the drive at 5 o'clock washing and polishing away. The car looks Brill, the best shine yet. I am really impressed. As for my neighbours, they have stopped talking to me. I noticed they all waited for me to go inside before they set of for work.

:lol:

Funny lot round here!
