Zymol wax polish

Postby Gromit » Sat May 11, 2013 4:39 pm

Meant to put this in the 'good stuff' forum for ages, but only now got round to it. For ages I've been using Autoglym Resin Polish (which is a very good product) but this Zymol polish is a lot better.

The finish it gives on the Blackbird's paintwork is fabulous. Not the least labour-intensive polish out there (you have to do a sq ft at a time ideally and not let it dry out) it is nonetheless capable of giving fantastic results.

Very highly recommended. :)

all coconut and banana ish ? :)

add in Dai's advice on using peanut butter as a back to black polish for the black plastics and I reckon it'd be good enough to eat ;)

Looks great. You can,t whack black when it comes up like this. Have to give it a try.

It's seriously good stuff - took me a while to get the technique right but once I'd learnt to follow the instructions to the letter, it works a treat:

No wonder you are keeping the Blackbird when it looks this good, it belies the mileage. Although they do, as you know, a tremendous reliability record. 150,000 miles at a canter. :D

And for your windshield lights etc, Autosol do a good scratch remover
