I just bought Zymol Cleaner Wax. If any of you have used it, what do you think.

I did years ago when I first started detailing my vehicles.

It's an ok product, but I get better results using a good polish and S100 wax.

If you have used Meguiars, would you say that Zymol is better than Meguiars?

I tried it years ago and thought it was an overpriced, underperformer. There are several products out there now that provide better results for less money IMO.

There are two different levels of Zymol. They have a low-end line sold at Wal-Mart and the like, and they have a high-end line, which starts at about $50/jar for wax. The two lines have almost no comparison in quality.

I have used (and still have a half jar) of Zymol Concourse wax ( about $85/jar). I was not impressed enough to use it twice. I went back to using a Polish (zaino).

I use Meguiars M105/M205 for polishing (which area great products), but I have not used any of the waxes.

The depth M205 and S100 provide are excellent! Zymol is not in the same league.

The store bought versions (teal colored) are actually made by Turtle Wax and licensed the use of their name. The cleaner wax is included in this.

Zymol is actually known for high end Estate Waxes made for specific cars and owners. Some of the better ones are Ital, Concours, and Destiny.

I never see the M205 at the stores, and when I read on the Meguiars forum alot of people speak good of it. Where can I buy some at?

Autogeek. Don't forget to use coupon code "corvetteforum" to receive a 10% discount.
For best results, use a good DA polisher with 205 and 105.

You may want to consider M105 as well if you have some troublesome spots which need correcting.
Always start with M205 and only go to M105 if 205 does not provide enough cut.
