What a nice morning it was just outside Belfast earlier car was washed and put to bed last night in anticipation of a wax today!
Wife took our son into town so playtime for me, spent 3 hrs on my car was looking super, went out for a run and guess what, yip it started to rain!! Why does this always happen to me? After returning home rather slowly, might I add, I was rather relieved to dicsover the car wasn't that bad, must be bacause I had just waxed it!
I use zymol, does anyone on here use it? I have found nothing really can come close to it for me and lasts quite a while too!

I use a couple of different waxes
This is my favourite, Chemical Guys Pure Concours 5050 wax

I also think Autoglym HD wax is an excellent product

Would you rate your chemical wax over the zymol? I was maybe considering a wee change. Have the autoglym hd for wife's car it seems really good
too! No retailer in Northern Ireland sells zymol or chemical guys, which I find really strange, all my stuff is ordered from the mainland.

I haven't heard of that, worth a try at that price I would have thought, autoglym super resin for the 1litre is 12 or 13 here, it's bound to be better and less dusty than that!

Certainly seems to look good and he appears to have done his research! I can be a bit sceptical sometimes just seems too good to be true, in saying that though I almost feel I should buy some and see, would be a shame to miss it at that price! My zymol carbon is coming in at £60 now!
