Wow, looks AWESOME! Big props to making black look good! You gotta love the hood shot - does this look familiar? (Basalt Black)

I clayed my car a few weeks ago and then waxes with the Zymol made for Porsche paint (I think Glasur...) I have since then waxed the car again, I now have 2 coats of Glasur on my car.

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.

Gary

You can put ebony over glasur if you want, but it will take away the "looK' of glasur. Next time, you can try ebony first to fill the chips and deep scratchesm then apply glasur.

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.
