At last tried the zymol tonite So clay bar'd the car got the chami out, but as for the pre cleanse paste what a waste of time totally usless, so pre- cleaned the whole car with g3, which is so good at removing tar and grime made it pretty effortless, Tried Zymol with a applicator pad to begin with did'nt look to impressive I have to say ! So I did what it said on the tin and use my hands......... So much easier this way, absolutly amazing finish ! And only the first coat Will do another tomoz outside in the sunshine Then Arthur has to be done ...orders

I did half the bonnet with a pad and half using my fingers. I couldn't begin to convince myself that one method was better than the other. There was a major downside to the finger method is that you waste more Zymol.

As Martin said, I think the HD Cleanser is shite. Regards the wax - your wallet is the determining factor.

I beg to differ on the Zymol HD clenser as i used it before the first time i waxed ours. It did a great job of getting rid of all the surface rubbish. But each to there own.

HD cleanse is OK but it doesnt remove the ground in tar type spots very well. After the HD give it a clay bar for super smooth/wet glass smoothness - this also removes any residue from the HD that "may" be left I use autoglym tar remover for stubborn residue.
Crash bang wollop!!

I used it at the weekend Spike, it certainly removes those stubborn tar stains, but it left a lot of residue and smears afterwards though, which were quite difficult to remove. I am using the three stage Meguires treatment at the moment, which did the trick.

How much use do you get from a clay bar Spike?

I've never found the need for anything more aggressive than Autoglym polish. Since using Zymol wax 99% of tar can be flicked off.

im with pooster as the pads soak in the wax and when you warm it in hands it also mixes it to a more consistent texture.

Some does go into the pad... but this is so minimal. When using your hands you have to keep wiping them between applying and then buffing each small section. This wastes more and DOES not give an improved finish. I have used the same pad for the last 15-20 applications and can guarantee that the pad isn't full of the wax.

I do apanel at a time and let it turn/start hardening. Why wipe hands???? keep on waxing mate - clean cloth is all hands come in contact with so no need to keep wiping off wax Surely your pad must go hard???? I would worry it will scratch teh paintwork. MY CAR IS SHINIER THAN YOURS

I don't let it harden too much else you have to work TOO hard to buff it. Besides, along with the stupid suggest of applying the wax by hand Zymol ALSO tell you not to let it go hard!! Spike "THE LEGEND" Mike XXX wrote:Why wipe hands???? keep on waxing mate - clean cloth is all hands come in contact with so no need to keep wiping off wax
Small area at a time. Excess is going to come off on the buffing cloth and then it doesn't buff so well. Spike "THE LEGEND" Mike XXX wrote:Surely your pad must go hard???? I would worry it will scratch teh paintwork.
Pad does not go hard. Spike "THE LEGEND" Mike XXX wrote:MY CAR IS SHINIER THAN YOURS
I disagree... I will agree that your car has had more resprays than mine
