BN I use Zymol Ital wax at great expense and have used below method as well to give a top finish. (NB I have also used below method and finished with Zymol Ital wax ;)


1) wash car Zymol Auto wash
2) "Clay bar" the car to remove imbedded "crap" (3M or Clay Magic are excellent but mother's or Meguiars ok in a pinch)
3) Clean paint with Meguiars Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner
4) "Wax" with Mothers Reflections Advanced Car wax

Although Autoglym good, it leaves alot of white crap every where and is not as easy to use as Mothers

On a Red car the finish you get should be similar to this car but the above will look good on lighter colours as well.

A good run down on cleaning your car

Well done Stori. Those are excellent links and I for one have learned a lot, especially about the use of a clay bar.

Do you think Swissol is worth the money or do you reckon Zymol does just as good a job?

Swissol is suposedly a copy of ZYMOL. At one stage Swissol sold Zymol products then began making their own product under the Swissol name.
Zymol Ital and Concours wax is essentially the same except get deeper gloss with Concours.
