Zymol wax---> pics

Washed the TSX and waxed with Zymol.
Very happy with the results.
Any opinions on this product. Here are some pics.

I used the cleaner wax.

Is using this alone, after a wash, enough to protect the paint/clearcoat?
I'm a newb at this sort of stuff.
I've read the other posts about the "right" way to detail a car, but between the job, wife, kids, and all the other sh*t i have to worry about, it's hard to find the time.

But I do love the way it looks when it's clean.

Peart, not to burst a bubble, but...........
The Cleaner/wax is very very shortlived. Im sure you got some dusting when you were removing it? Consider upgrading, you've gone through quite a bit of work, and it would be nice if your rewards were a little longer lasting.

Cleaner Wax:
Cleaner wax or pre-wax cleaners are usually a mildly abrasive (CAS 1/10) liquid polish containing solvents for cleaning and Kaolin as an abrasive, that will remove surface contamination that either normal washing or using detailer’s clay alone will not remove. Cleaning and waxing combination products have a history of either cleaning or waxing but not doing both very well. They offer little in the way of surface protection, as they are formulated with a high percentage of solvents (Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine, Zymol Cleaner Wax)

Great job [and they said Carnauba wax is old technology- onlly problem is 'new' technology hasn't obtain anything like the depth of shine a natural wax can obtain]

Zymol (20 years of use)

Seriously Jon? What synthetics have you put up against a Nuba in the looks dept? Im not being sassy, Im just curious as to why you think this.....One other case in point. I dont get a whole lot of "Improvement" from applying the sealant, other then slickness. Better then 90% of the "looks good" come from the cleaning stages.........Ive always wondered where/what stage this
  • Depth
  • Reflection
  • Clarity
  • etc....
come from......
