anything for yellow?

I'm getting the loaner this week so I'll post how it goes later.

Today I stumble across this thread and see that the Ebony can be used on clearcoated paint. Would I need to strip down the current wax and start over or could I apply the Ebony as needed above the Glasur.

Thanks for any tips.

Hey Kevin... sorry for the slow response... i was cruising in Mexico on spring break.

It's too soon to tell how the Zymol holds up to washing since this is the first time I've used it. I'm still thrilled that the swirl marks and scratches are gone.

There's a member of this forum (MoeMisty) that seems to be very knowledgable about the Zymol products. Try asking him.
