This process should be done every morning before you embark on a jaunt out of your 10-car garage at your secluded multimillion-dollar getaway located in the coastal mountains.

You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.

I use this stuff. Just rewaxed my 300E with it 2 days ago. Looks like the paint is dripping off the car. And it will continue this way for years, since Zymol contains essential oils which feed the paint and keep it vibrant. After using it, I won't use anything else again. Nicks and scratches aside, my 14 year old paint looks better than the paint on many brand new cars.

The wax goes on incredibly easy and goes a LONG way. That container in the picture will last you probably a whole year or more even with frequent (twice a month) waxings. Just a teaspoonful does my whole car - you just melt a tiny amount by rubbing between your hands, and then massage it directly into the paint using your palms. Then just buff it right off with a microfibre cloth. I can do my entire car in under an hour. And the results are just plain awesome.

Also, you get free lifetime refills. Do the math - 5 years, 2 waxings a month = $12.50 per application. Remember, you get what you pay for; this isn't Turtle Wax from Wal Mart. This is the stuff they use on million dollar show cars. And with the free refills, you can do your friends' and family's cars too.

Well since the weather is getting so nice, I've been waxing at least every week, if not twice a week. I do a light wash every other day also. When winter hits though, it's about once a month.

Why not just buy Titanium™ at $60? The jar will last you a year. Can you tell the difference on between the Titanium™ and the Vintage™ ? (pronounced vintaaaje). Are you suing this wax on your daily drivers or show cars?

She must look sweet!
What was the name of Zymol's technical guy who retired? Was it Richard? He was a great guy to talk to.

Btw If you don't use all the Zymol that your entitled to through your allowance, maybe you can package some up and sell it to me . I think I may have an empty jar or two lying around . It's been a while since I had the pleasure to use some Zymol. I have 2 cars that do deserve it.
