i use a pc to apply the menzera stuff.


i buy it from properautocare.com

it really is a great product. tough to screw it up and it really works. they have a rough polish and a fine polish and they're designed to be used together.

i still like the rejex for the final sealant. it holds up great in the heat and dirt rinses right off. like i said before, a decent qd will put a nice shine on there after the rejex.

Same here, first time I put it on a car I covered it up.


The reason I think it's become so popular is because one person liked it and everyone followed. Most of these people probably didn't have experience w/ other products so they immediately liked it.


For me, it's durable, I have it in my shower, sinks, toilet, counter tops. Wouldn't put it on a car for looks though

Moe, I think I have a bottle comming to me to do some tests with. If it comes (been waiting a month) I'll give it a once over and throw you some to try


I've also been suprised you use zymol. If you find something you like, use it often

IMO, Zymol is really good. As I mentioned before, I use their Estate Product line which is the high-end line only available direct from Zymol or resellers. It's amazing stuff guys. The one we used in Pebble Beach a few weeks back is called Royale, and it was AMZING. Not a single swirl or scratch in the paint and the metallic flecks were amazing. It just so happened to win Best of Show up there. It was a great opportunity to detail it. Anyone care to guess how much it's worth? Here's a pic...

It's a 1937 Delage Portoute Aero Coupe. Only six ever made; this is the only one in exhistance. Technically there is another; but we don't know where it is. It was the first car to ever be tested in a wind tunnel. I couldn't stop looking at her. I almost fell back when I found out how much she's worth.....READY FOR THIS....$10,000,000.......A detail of a lifetime...Worthy of the $7000 wax used on her. Now you know why I use Zymol

I continue to use Zaino until I find something else that work better that is easy to put. I usually put some wax on top of Zaino bc it doesn't do it a good job in providing a shine. It is the best sealant that I've use though.
I have to agree with you about Zaino being the best, but, I have not found any toppers that improve the appearance. Are you using Z2 Pro with Z8? I have not tried Zymol products but have tried Souveran and thought it looked great but no different than Z2P/Z8 alone. I am sure the Zymol waxes similiar to Souveran look great, probably just as good as Zaino but the biggest problem with Carnuaba technology is it has no durability. How long are you getting out of one of the premium Zymol waxes? And what does it do that Zaino or Pinnacle Souveran does not do to warrant the price tag, especially the one that list for $1500. With all due respect there is nothing a LSP could possibly do to my paint that would make me want to spend more than 200 bucks on wax, actually I had to convince myself to spend 50 bucks on the Souveran. Maybe I am just in the wrong tax bracket and if you own a 10,000,000 Buggati spending $1500 on wax is similair to me dropping $200 on a Zaino order.

I've had a few Zaino fans that ended up trying Zymol and absolutly loved it. I must admitt, I have not tried Zaino myself but a weekly client used it on his car and was always a little intrigued that his wife's CLK500, that I detail, looked better. So one day I just let him borrow a jar of Zymol Destiny ($444 /jar) and he was amazed. You don't have to spend hundreds to try Zymol Estate line. Titanium ($65 /jar) is an excellent wax that I will assure you lasts longer than anything you've tried. If you want agent, trust me a little and purchase some Zymol products from me and use it. If it doesn't give you the results I'm telling you about, I will buy it back. But if it does, and I know it will, you've gotta tell everyone in the forum Call or PM me. This goes for anyone as well. You guys should really give this stuff a try. It really works...BY THE WAY...THE PEBBLE BEACH WINNER WE DETAILED IS NOT A BUGGATI....IT"S A DELAGE....I never heard of it either before the show

I've got a video showing how that CLK500 beads after not being waxed for 6 mnths. The only problem is it's a 5 mb quicktime file. Anyone know how I can shrink it and post it here? You guys WILL be amazed

And i'm w/ you. Zaino is a great product that lasts a long time. But I do a lot of show cars and garage queens, and don't find it as being the "go to" product in those situations.
