The Zymol Experiance

Steve · July 14, 2002

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

Is that the blue-ish stuff Steve - looks like a shampoo bottle??

Steve · July 14, 2002

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.

My car was really dull as the last time i poilshed it was at Gaydon.. so it was a bit dull

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.

Steve · July 14, 2002

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! http://www.zymol.com/warn3.htm

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!

Steve · July 15, 2002

they really have some nice stuff...

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

Autoglym's in the bin!

Steve · July 15, 2002

Shrek · July 16, 2002

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!:D:smilegrin::D

Jimmy Ten Toes · July 16, 2002

I'm gonna get some so my pride and joy looks its best for JAE, but I am NOT gonna get up up at 5 am to apply it.....I didn't know there was another 5 o'clock in the day!?
