Title: Posh wax opinions? (Zymol and dodo's)
Post by: javalin on 24 May 2010, 17:09: Hey all,

Looking for a wax recommendation for my mk3 GTI soonish. After something decent which ideally is hard wearing (so a yearly wax) and looks fanstastic - yes I know I don't want much! I've used the Megs canbura wax a for a while and its ok, but wonder if there is better available...

I've been looking at the booklet I got from Monza Car Care and this caught my eye - especially after viewing the video on the webpage!

http://www.monzacarcare.com/zymol-car-wax/zymol-rouge-carnauba-wax/0/ (http://www.monzacarcare.com/zymol-car-wax/zymol-rouge-carnauba-wax/0/)

Also Chris from Waxamomo was recommending Dodo's Supernatural - http://www.waxamomo.co.uk/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=181&idcategory=37 (http://www.waxamomo.co.uk/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=181&idcategory=37)

And i've seen posts recommending the Collinite stuff - i.e. http://www.waxamomo.co.uk/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=23&idcategory=23 (http://www.waxamomo.co.uk/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=23&idcategory=23)

Any opinions? Is price a good indicator that its "better"??

Thanks,

James

Post by: Dan J on 24 May 2010, 18:22: im not denying that zymol waxs are good but there very over priced tbh and you can get the same if not better results for far less money. higher price definatly doesnt mean better trust me. dont put all your eggs in one basket as my dear old gran used to say to me. :wink:

supernatural= uber bling on a well preped car
collinite 476s = good finish with high durabilty
also look into megs mirror glaze#16 paste wax in the blue tin, an awesome wax imho, not as durable as colli waxs but it blings up nicely and is very economical in application.

And great to top it up with either a carnauba Quick Detailer or Dodo Red Mist

Post by: herbie911 on 25 May 2010, 19:04: I had tried Zymol Glasur, Concourse and Swissvax Best of Show
Glasur: Good durability, Easy to apply and to buff off, Glossy looks esp good on silver
Concourse: No more durable than Glasur, Pain in the a** to apply and buff off. Harder to melt on hand. Much deeper rich looks when compare with Glasur. Great for darker paint
Best of Show: Less durable than both Zymol wax . Smell gorgeous. Easiest to apply and to buff off. Finish similar to Concourse

I prefer Swissvax on my carbongrey GTI

Post by: javalin on 25 May 2010, 20:01: I'm confused again, and wibbling about spending £85 on wax now....

Something long lasting that looks fantasic, for ~ £60?
