What is everyones opinion of Zymol. The Acura Dealership where I am purchasing my 2004 TL Auto Redondo Red w/parchment w/Navi today 12/13/2003 YEAH!!!!!!!!! expressed how great this product is. Please give me your thoughts.




2001 Sundance Gold CL-S non-navi..Just sold! Yeah!

 

It isn't bad, but there are better choices. For wax, Meguires and Pinnacle Souveran are two of the best, however most Care Car buffs prefer the synthetic stuff know as Zaino. Since you car is new, you can experiment with a few others as well. For a red or dark car, Blackfire makes a very good synthetic.

Just keep in mind that waxes will have to be re-applied every few weeks, but synthetics can last up to 6 months. Most people that go the Zaino route will do their cars more often than that, but if your not into weekly exterior work, then Zaino is your best bet. It will give you a reflective shine like no other product. Blackfire will give it the same swirl less reflective shine but be a little richer (like a wax) on dark colored cars.

 

Somthing to remember, don`t use a cleaner wax on a new finish!
You just need a wax or of course Zaino.

 

Zymol is about midway up the ladder in the wax dept. I`ve used it for a couple years, buying the 70.00 grade. If applying multple coats, it will yellow because its a wax. Zaino is THE choice in clarity,durability and shine. If you still must (wax) your car, a close second is PS21, recommended by many Porsche Dealers

 

Whats the best wax I can get in the store thats not Carunuba that stuff attracts to much dust?

 

I would order online as I found it to be cheaper on most occasions. Also, Klasse is great stuff. Easiest wax/sealant I've ever put on and it literally lasts for months and months. I went through the whole winter (with snow and salt) with it never coming off. Water still beaded after the winter was over and I just re-Klassed. I found it to be better for lighter colored cars and the shine was pretty good. I thought P21S was a better shine but didn't last as long.

 

Zymol, Klasse, and Zaino are all polymer-based polishes I think. They all perform similarly. I saw an article on an NSX forum where they compared Meguiar's with Zymol with Zaino and something else I think. The Zaino won, if I recall.

Gurureports.org did a wax test on about 45+ waxes. Zaino came out on top.

I used Zaino for the first time. I doubt I'll ever use anything else after seeing how easy it was to apply and how great the results were.

 

zymol cleaner wax is the best carnuba wax

 

According to many posts on the Edmunds wax forums, the lower cost Zymol products (like at Costco) are re-packaged Turtle Wax. To get the REAL Zymol, you need to buy the expensive ($80?) stuff.

 

the Zymol Costco distributes is the good stuff. Just not the $80 good stuff

 

Here's the link to the NSX wax test if anyone's interested:

First, to the poster who said Zymol is a synthetic like Zaino, that is incorrect.

The real expensive Zymol makes the $80 stuff look like milk money. It comes in many different grades, with the most expensive being $1,345.00 for 22oz.:wow:

It is called Vintage Glaze and contains 61 percent Brazilian No. 1 White Carnauba by volume, the highest in any product designed to protect automotive finishes.

It contains White Carnauba Sap/Wax, Montan Evergreen Oil, Sunflower Oil, Cantaloupe Oil, Coconut Oil, Honeydew Extract, Propolis (derived from Bees), Cetyl Esters, Cetyl Cocoamide (derived from coconut oil).

It does come with a lifetime refill policy:lol2:

The second most expensive is the Atlantique Glaze at a more reasonable price of $735.00, but with no lifetime refills:smackhead

So as you can see, the $80 stuff is for cheap skates

 

yeah, zymol is carnauba, it gives a deeper, wetter shine but only lasts a couple months.

 

How long again does Zaino last on average between applications? Some say 4 mo, some 6, some 12? Any help here?

 

4-6 months most likely, depending on a lot of things

 

I would suggest checking out the forums at www.autopia.org. It has tons of useful information.

One choice in addition to the others covered above is the Einszett Glanz. Apparently it goes on and off quite easily and provides a few months worth of protection. I'm thinking of testing it out.

 

is the lower cost Zymol being sold in walmart / costco carnuba based or synthetic???

 

Due to some very warm (for Western NY state) weather yesterday (+60F), I used Zaino for the first time on my brand new '04 TL - NBP/Ebony. All I can say is WOW! It's the best stuff I've ever used. I'll do a better job in the spring (only had time for two coats) but even for the first time, I did well and it looks great!

I'm sold on Zaino!

 

Once you go Zaino

You'll never go backo.

The stuff is unbelievably easy to put on and take off - shines cleaner and clearer than any wax - lasts a very long time (3-6 months depending on care, weather, etc.)

Use it on your new TL and it will be the last product you ever buy for any of your cars.

(PS - no, I am not related to Sal Zaino. I found this stuff on the Camaro SS forums and now use it on everything I own. I was a big user of Mequiar's Gold Class before, but Zaino is much better.)

DON't forget to clay bar your new car before you Zaino.

 

Did that (clay bar) too. Wasn't hard to do and it went pretty fast too.

I was a big Meguiar's user too. I'll continue to use some of the interior stuff but nothing but Zaino's for the outside from now on.

 

I always wondered why all those bees would flock around my old Beemer whenever I stopped at a stop sign in the woods just around the corner from my house...!

 

unfortunately i dont think zaino ships to canada, do they???

 

they have canadian distributors

 

:lol2:

 

I`ve put about 20 coats of Zaino on my 04 TL so far. I love the stuff. Goes on so easy

 

hey rjc rsx,

wer can i get zaino in canada? preferably not online

 

zaino

 

20 coats of Zaino ?? How deep can you get the coating? Does it break down and crack ?

 

20 coats will not break down or crack.

 

You can contact Dennis, Canadian Zaino distributor, at zainoguy@durham.net

 

after seeing the review of nsxsc.com, i decided to get the zymol liquid polish! for availability and price i think the zymol is unbeatable...the test results arent that far away with zaino...it's got cool packaging, comes with the buffing sponge...can't wait to use it...lousy weather at the moment!

 

Zaino vs. Zymol. There IS a DIFFERENCE!!

 

ZAINO!!!!
