Posh wax opinions? (Zymol and dodo's)
« 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/

Also Chris from Waxamomo was recommending Dodo's Supernatural - 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

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

Thanks,

James

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.

Dodo Supernatural for me.

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

I've learnt a few things recently, Dodo dont even make their own products. So just get something with high carnauba wax content.


GTI mk6, 3dr Manual (Yes Manual! If I wanted a Taxi I'd hail one, not spend £1500 on one), Candy White, Full Leather, Xenons, ACC, 18", RCD510 + Dynaudio, DAB Radio, Winter Pack, Luxury Pack, Fiscon Bluetooth Plus, Golf R LED's.
