i recently switched from zaino to zymol just to see the difference for myself. on my last detail i used meguirs scratch x before i applied the zymol and noticed an oily like residue in certain angles in the sun. no matter how hard i wiped i couldnt get rid of it. i eventually tried some mothers quik detail i had and it helped but didnt get rid of it. i used some cut up bath towells( fluffy and made in the usa) to remove. i never used scratch x before and while im satisfied with its scratch removal i wonder if it is causing the oily residue i see. i only used the zymol once before and didnt notice anything unusual. i have a 2002 BLACK trailblazer



after two applications i prefer zaino.
 
I know what's going on and how to fix it. You're pushing the filling oils around with the towel, but not getting them up. Switch to a microfiber wipe - problem all gone.





Scratch-X is great stuff - however it does have fairly aggressive abrasives. I use it for spot-treatment of deeper scratches, but you can get the same color depth/filling capabilities, including swirl removal with swirl remover, or in a completely non-abrasive formula with a polish or glaze.





If you have black and haven't seen Meguiars' Gold Class or Souveran you haven't seen your Trailblazer at its best.
 
Carguy is right. Scratch-X has a lot of fillers, oils, and abrasives, and the fillers and oils smear around, causing what you see. Try using a good microfiber towel.
