car detailing (my euro)

[albii]

at aaronngs request..........yes zymol is top end stuff and it does give great results just ask chris f , baboo, matell, pnr888 and they will tell you as they have seen my car in the flesh......people think its pricey and thats fair enough but one tub of wax lasts me about 5 years of once a month waxing on 2 cars...

[PNR888]

Indeed, Albii's car is so shinney, we all needed sunglasses to protect our eyes that day. Click on my signiture link below, you will see photo of all Albii's Zymol products.

Albii, if you wash and wax your car that often, you can actually get a dark colour car, and it will shine your effort even more.

[Chris_F]

zymol definitely gets results after seeing the sheen in albii's paint-work. it's very nice. I'm gona chip in with dad and get some sometime soon. he's got a beemer and just uses whatever can find (armoral and similar brands) and to be honest his paint is looking pretty crap. albii you thought of becoming a distributor for zymol in australia? (i'm not sure what profession your in) but i think you could make the product work, especially with your hands on knowledge :D

not a bad idea Chris....may look into that one......

[baboo]

I should've use Zymol when I had the chance, it's god damn smooth the hails would just slide off the car instead of bouncing and hitting on my car....>.<

Rants over.

[BLKek]

I've been using Zymol on my Civic for years, inside and out, friend uses Swissol, which is 4 times the price again, any one in Brissy I can put you in contact with a Distributor, comes to you, top bloke...

Sadly I don't think the many layers on albii's car would've saved it from dents last night :(

yeah my garage saved my car..........not the zymol...hehe..its not that good :p

[jamchen]

besides zymol, i would reconmmend a product called Zaino, they have benn know as the best detail products in the States for years and only started to sell in Oz couple weeks ago i think. but the bad thing is this stuff is much more expensive than the zymol for sure. but every complete detailing the layers will last at least 4 months... so very worthwhile to try out.
Check out the distributor's website!
http://www.eclipsedetailing.com.au/

for ppl in MELB. there's a detail place you can get Zaino... it at the handcar wash called magic clean (kleen?) on hoddle St north bound!
i am very happy with my result! no water drops at all :cool:

[aaronng]

I reckon Zaino is cheaper than Zymol. You only need the Z2 and ZFX. The only troublesome part is that your car has to be uber clean of everything, including previous waxes and polishes.

total agree, in Zaino's website it said use dishwash detergent to firstly wash your car to remove excessive waxes and dirts...

well, to get the best result out of the Zaino,, or any other products is to follow the product flow instructions ...

think they have a new one called Z8... very confusing... :confused:

[BLKek]

where did you get that swissol is 4 times the price from.....swissol onyx wax $105... zymol japon wax $110.......

I'm exagerating dude, I remember Zymol polish was around $40 for a bottle, never bought zymol wax, I only use the Detailer now anyways, getting lazy.

My mate get the Saphire.

dishwashing detergent??????? sounds bodgie to me....no way man..zymol and swissol have specialist products to strip excessive waxes and impurities..

cool i have the polishes also..liquid auto and creme auto polish

[Slugoid]

So what particular products from Zymol do you recommend and where can I grab or order these stuff??

Cos my black Euro is getting harder and harder to maintain it's shine, now that I've had to for around 1.5 years.

Actually, for older cars, the shine is lesss not because your wax is not good enough. It's because the surface has contamination from the environment that an optical barrier between you and the paint is developed.

I recommend you wash, clay, use paint cleaner, polish and then wax in order to restore the original "brand new" look. It won't be easy, you'll develop huge arm muscles.

problem is there is no quick fix.........yes as aaronng said you need to do the full strip clay polish then wax treatment.......if you dont wash and wax on a regular occasion then it is very hard...but if you wash once a week and wax once a month your paint will stay fantastic looking

[albii]

yes and no....the only reason you have contamination is because a: your wax is not good enough or b: you dont wax enough to create a barrier against harmful contaminants.....thing is ,when a bird shits on my car it doesn't leave s stain and it washes off easy...

[aaronng]

The contamination I'm talking about is like brake dust and tiny particles from the road (smaller than a grain-sized sand). Stuff that actually is hard enough to actually penetrate the wax layer through brute force.

I agree, if you have a good wax, bird shit just washes off easily!

[Slugoid]

So other part of the question, where can I get order some Zymol stuff??

for you autobarn at chadstone shopping centre stock it...

[aaronng]

Just cleaned and waxed the car again today. Autosol on the exhaust tips is nice!

[stephen8512]

wat else cleans out the black sooty crap on the exhaust tips?
cuz i got rid of most of it with warm/hot water and a rag, but i want it to shine...
where can i get autosol from? and what other products do the job well?

[albii]

yeah i use autosol....good stuff

[aaronng]

You can get autosol from any hardware shop. It is used to polish metal. It's not a car-only product. Get the regular one, not the special silver or gold versions. Those are too mild.

$14 just to clean the exhaust tips :D

[aaronng]

Hehe, I got mine when I went for holiday in Malaysia. AU$3.50 per tube

[h22a accord]

albii- where have you got some good close up pics of your car to look at? I want to see it :)

[baboo]

[albii]

hey dude ..for some reason i cannot post pics or i would send you some....or i could email them to you..

[h22a accord]

try www.imageshack.us upload to there then cut and paste the link onto your next post.

[albii]

ok when my wife gets home...soon..i will post some pics...should be about 1/2 hour

[h22a accord]

if u want a cheaper method, the soap steel wool pads under your kitchen sink work well. Also, aluminium cleaner will clean ur entire exhaust from header to muffler tip...u simply spray it on and use a pressure washer to rinse off, rinsing off all the burnt on road grime with it

[albii]

i still cannot post

[albii]

check the gallery my car is there

[kingboost]

you can order zymol off the net, as for zymol, i have almost as many products in the zymol range as does albii and been using it for 5 years now and will say that nothing comes anymore natural and close for a quality shine, it's a brilliant product! i'm not as enthusiastic as albii with cleaning giving it the monthly wash and wax but once done it's as if your standing in front of a mirror. also, i haven't polished my car with the zymol polish for over a year and it looks like it was done a few months ago (they recommend you polish every 6 months)

[albii]

yes thats just fantastic kingboost

[kingboost]

soooooorrrryyy for mentioning that,not allowed hey

[kingboost]

obviously pissing on someones parade, it's ok you're still the zymol king

[albii]

[v1n]

you guys should try Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax, it is the newest Meguiar's product, and it is very good. The shines it creates is very deep and lasts long.

[jamchen]

um... i've heard something called astro shield from some friends in Taiwan. i am about to purchase a bottle and try.....
has anyone heard of this product before? :confused:

i have done the meguiars thing ..good products but i wanted something that would repel contaminants better....plus zymol dont leave white marks on your plastic and rubber

thats why you shouldnt try and polish plastic and rubber ;)

[v1n]

Are we allowed to wax bumpers, light covers, and chrome stuff with normal wax, for example meguiar's nxt tech wax? coz i usually wax them all.

i've heard from a detailing shop that there is Swissol brand, which they said is the best wax, but expensive, does anyone know about this wax?

[aaronng]

I haven't used it. But you can probably find reviews at www.autopia.org. I'll PM you a link to a site where you can buy it from.

Edit: Just checked the prices. $105 for a small 200ml tin of wax?!?! Damn, even if it is good, it can't be $105 good. Unless of course your car will self-destruct without the brilliant shine and depth. I'm sticking to my P21s.

For black plastic bumpers, I use 303 protectant (I get it from autobarn), while the lights I just use NXT tech wax. Chrome stuff I haven't tried waxing them.

iam afraid it is good even $105 good...that tub should last 5 years......my zymol does and i wax once a month x2 cars..

[aaronng]

Is Swissol as good as zymol? What is inside that makes it better than other pure carnauba waxes?

[albii]

i think they're on par...they are made from plant and fruit extract.

[kingboost]

no, natural human jizz extract, that's why it repells water
