Zymol Z503 Car Cleaner Wax?

I have used them with good result before. Should I continue to use them or is there better production with better price?

Amazon: Zymol Z503 Car Cleaner Wax Amazon: Zymol Z503 Car Cleaner Wax



I am looking for good protection to the paint and product that will last. But trying to win best shine in the show here ..

I've used this product before and I really liked it.
I moved up to the Zymol brand products and they in my opinion are awesome.
They make a specific Zymol product, called, 'Japon' which is a hard carnuba formulated wax especially for Japanese paint.
Zymol products are expensive but I am very happy with the results.
Check their web site out.

That product is an over-the-counter product and it's actually made by Turtle wax, not Zymol. Just carries Zymol's label. It is a decent wax if you are just washing, drying, and applying a wax. There are better products out there though.

my car is kinda dark ..



i guess my question is "is there a better production out there for cheaper, or i should just stick to that".

i am not going into any competition or anything, i just want good protection and good/decent shine without breaking the bank or spending 6 hrs for multiple layers of wax

To answer it in directly either Optimum Poli-Seal (best protection) or Klasse All In One (best cleaner and polish, easiest to use). Slightly more money but a bit more bang IMO. The best car wax is the wax you will use.

I know that sounds obvious, but it's true. How often have you purchased something that was recommended to you as being "the best," only to find out it was very difficult to use? Did you use it again?

The fact is, there are a lot of good car wax products available. By this I mean they do a good job protecting your car and make it look good, too. What makes a good car wax great is that it is also very easy to apply.

Best Car Wax Recommendations
Here are a few recommendations for car waxes that I like (because they work!)

Carnauba Paste Waxes
P21S Concours Carnauba Wax (most popular)
Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax (when price is no object... best experience)
Zymol Concours Glaze (amazing show car shine!)

Paint Sealants
Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0(most popular)
Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze (best shine and ease of use)
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant (premium durability and wet-look shine)

The key to a good shine is in the prep. The paint needs to be clayed and polished to remove imperfections. The more uniform the clear coat is, the more reflective it is.

Of course you would need a dual action polisher or a rotary polisher to properly and effectively polish the paint.

I would also recommend Klasse AIO, it is a great cleaner/polish/protectant and lasts months. I couldn't imagine not having it in my arsenal.

Good prep is the key and clay baring the car does help out a lot. I always use Meguire's. I just love what it does for the car. If you think this Zymol is great you should keep using it. So far it looks good on your car.

I have that Cleaner Wax but I don't really like it. You have to wipe it off before it dries or else it's a PITA to remove.

I prefer Meguiars cleaner wax. Easy on easy off. Followed up with Mothers Carnuba wax.

I found that Mothers Carnuba wax is the best for black cars. Every other (over the counter) wax I used leaves an oily residue.

I've used that Zymol liquid for years on my previous Z, it's actually a cleaner wax if you'll read the label. Loving the results I moved up to the Zymol paste wax with my G, and finally settled on their Concourse wax. I use the cleaner prior to wax with unbelievable results. That's where my coupe got the name SLICK.
