What are the experiences with Zymol paint care products?

Currently I am a Meguiars fan, Im thinking of trying Zaino Bros stuff very soon.

Is Zymol products really worth the money? I was looking in some catalogs, and a circular container of that stuff cost from $40.00-$100.00. This one catalog, showed the Zymol "Destiny" advertised for $439.00 for 1 jar of polish.

Is it really worth the money or just another polish? I dont mind spending money on polishes and waxes, but I would hate to spend $500.00 for there cleaner/polish/wax etc. and find out that I wasted time and money. Thanks...

P.S. What do they use on show cars? I know Zaino Bros is one of them but are there other ones?

I'm doing a "side by side comparison test". Look for a post under the same tilte. My guess is, get the paint clean and smooth, then use whatever you like, with monthly frequency.

Stay tuned, I'm going to do another test next week.

I have used the Zaino products on my Smoke Silver SL-------and the results are nothing short of FANTASTIC!!!!! My local Benz dealer uses Zymol products. I was informed that they are great products, they do not hold up long and need monthly maintaince. The Zaoni method takes longer, but that deep shine is unbelievable!!

hey dale,

I also use the zaino car polish and it does leave a nice glassy finish. Have you experienced any clouding of the paint? German cars have been known to have problems with polymer synthetic waxes.

Thank you everyone on your comments. I will look into Zaino.

zymols web site has a few of there waxes for sale "Destiny $444.60" "Atlantique $822.80" "Vintage Wax for life $1350.00"

Ok to spend that kind of money on an 8oz jar of wax, I would like some second opinions or testimonials. I mean do people even use this stuff for concours car shows?
