Zymol VS Perma Plate
Today I tired Zymol wax for the first time. I was very excited to try it b/c everyone said its the best.
To make it sort, I stand corrected. Its good, but overrated, and not the best. Ive been using Perma Plate since I had my car and its the BEST!
Yes Zymol is smooth, shinny, and smells nice. LOlz. But it wasnt what I expected.
Perma Plate smells, but there was more of a shine than Zymol and also took most if not all of the water marks on the paint(white).
Dont believe me? Try it.

Isn't Permaplate one of those protection packages offered by dealers? I know they charge an arm and leg for it. For warranty purposes, it's supposed to be applied by the dealer. I believe it's a synthetic sealant and they recommend using the Permaplate Renewer to keep the original layer intact. For a fraction of the cost you're paying the dealer, you can pick up some of the products frequently mentioned in this forum and probably get the same or even better results.

Who told you Zymol is the best? It's not even on the radar of good waxes. Just a lot of marketing hype. And if you bought the Turtle Wax branded as Zymol, well then sir you got had.
Are you sure you're not referring to Zaino as the one that everyone raves about?

It's basically Zymol's low end cleaner wax (dual purpose) that is sold in just about every chain auto store or auto section of the large discount stores. I don't think you can compare the two since it sounds like they do different things... I haven't used Perma Plate, but it appears to be a sealant, where as the Zymol is more of a one step paint cleaner/low level sealant. Zymol definitely has better products that you can get onine. I wouldn't judge Zymol just by using one of the items in it's product line. Not advocating that you use it, just saying you're comparing apples to oranges...

I hope the person reviewing above is joking because it is not a body hair removal wax, it is for automobiles. The high percentage of white carnuba which is what it is made with provides an intense luster to the car paint.

Not as effective as advertised., May 8, 2006
Reviewer: alphajesse - See all my reviews
This wax was much too soft, and not nearly sticky enough. Despite several dozen attempts, this wax was completely unable to assist in hair removal, and irritated the skin of my most sensitive areas.
The one thing that this product does get right, though, is that it smells fabulous. The scent puts one in the mood to get a wax done, too bad it doesn't deliver the smooth, silky skin I expect.

Hey Krazy99cl, thanks for the offer, but I'm cool right now with detail products. I actually have too many cluttering up my closets. I actually use Adam's Polishes and like them a lot because of the ease of application (even in the sun) and the great results. Granted, the Butter Wax they offer probably isn't the best in terms of durability, but I mainly use them to maintain my car and they have a great full system. Thanks again, I may take you up on your offer after my supplies run out.

the perma plate has a leather thing, a paint thing and a wash mit. It costs about $800 from acura if u buy a new car, and i don't think it is worth it, (High priced Lexol/303 and Z-5)
