Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 9:09 pmI got mine a few weeks back and gave it two coats of meguiars but its a hard colour to get looking nice. I find zymol better on flat paints and meguiars better on metalic... maybe i need some zymol 
Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 10:26 pmDefinatly need Zymol Mega nothing better
Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2008 7:44 amAny chance of enlarging the pics Kev to show it off in all its glory. Obviously we know it is a clean car from the history but it is always nice to see pictures.
Hopefully Clark will add some experience to this discussion when he details his own car.
I personally like Zymol. A few coats of Concours and you get a really nice natural looking glass effect on the paint. The protection it offers over the less natural sealant products is superb in my opinion. Mind, you do need to build a few coats of the zymol up and you will find nothing sticks to the paint that will not simply wash off.
I've tried Zymol Destiny of which I have another pot on its way to me. This is lovely stuff and seems to need less coats than the Concours. Some say it it is harder to apply but I disagree and found it easier.
I think within reason the more you spend the better the result. If I was a "armchair" car cleaner, like our beloved Glen, I would be demanding the Vintage too... Since I like to apply the wax myself I can't quite justify the outlay... Maybe next time!
This is after one coat of Destiny... on top of the concours.

Did you mean Polish or Wax?
Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:22 pmCar looks great!
I have the luxury of being able to choose from a varied range of products at work including Zymol Vintage (£1800 per pot!) but on the likes of the WR1 it is wasted in my opinion as it mutes the flake a bit.
You're far better going for the likes of an Acrylic Sealant on a colour with such mental metalic flake in it as the Ice Blue has, and you'll get extremely high reflectivity and clarity from it instead of the slightly "fuzzy" glow that a wax will give
Just my opinion of course and many others will prefer the waxed look, i cant wait to get my 1 properly detailed, especially the engine as its covered in dust!
