What to use before Vintage? HD-Cleanse, (pain to use), Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion, or just a good cleaner like Men. PO85RD (leaves a nice finish).
 
Yeah I have some of that. My give it a shot. The PO85RD with a finishing pad Does wonders of removing prior products.
 
Hi!!



Why is it when ever Zymol is mentioned most detailers (Autopians) seem to loose there mind!?



Prep your car as you would normally with the products that bring the best out in it. If you have a light metalic then i personally think RMG would be a good hit.



VM for darker colours with less obvious metalic pop or solids and so on and so forth for what ever you need.



I have had Destiny for sometime and have different prep for my different tailored for each of my cars and i believe it makes a noticable difference. I would just say that if you seal the paintwork first (which i dont advise with a premium wax) then you will find that Zymol does require that second buff and hour or to later (even more so in warmer climates) to do deal with the excess oils not finding there way in to the paintwork.

What I want is to take advantage of the high content of carnuba wax found in Vintage. I want to see the Vintage shine and not some other products. Yes I can get a super shine with Men. PO85RD, RMG, Vintage , but thats not what I want. Thanks steelwind!

Heh heh, hope you try the PCL so I know how it'll work ;)
 
I have used PCL with Souveran. It does not seem like it cleans much. It acts like it is just adding a glaze.

I've only used it before Souveran too. I thought it worked OK for light cleaning (like old wax) and I liked using it to keep the white paint of my VW wagon clean (man was *that* a long time ago).



I even use it around the house now and then to clean things like fiberglass shower stalls.



But come to think of it, I have the older version of PCL and IIRC it's a bit more aggressive than today's stuff.
 
Got it now. I just sent it back for the first refill. I used HD Cleanse but it is hard to work with. I also used Men. PO85RD with a finishing pad and it really cleaned and shined the surface ready for a LSP. Thanks for asking

I use HD-Cleanse before I use any of zymöl’s Estate Waxes. Right now I am using zymöl Glasur Glaze and HD-Cleanse works just fine with that particular wax. That said, I suspect there are other cleaners that would work just as well. I just haven't found them.
 
Yeah, I have done several relatives cars. I over apply. Something I have never learned to do is use less. I played around some by adding polycharger and coconut oil. But the playing has stopped. Nothing is as good as plain Vintage wax! Remember I wax at least once a week. Takes away all the frustrations in life. And I have had my share. Just waiting on God to change the red RX8 to a red Vette Z06. He will, I have faith.

your kidding right u already sent tit back for a refill????

so they gave no problem with you asking for a refill within a few weeks? Even if you did relative cars and your own that is alot of wax I mean the thinner the better in regards to wax



Did they ask any questions on why or how u used so much? I mean I would be sceptical you were selling or giving it away. did they ask u if you charged your family members for the use of the wax?



sorry for so many question but wow if u can refill that often, I am buying a tub and making a killing SELLING it.

hand application has a steep learning curve. My guees as it happens alot. People get it, they are over excited so they use alot and often. i have a feeling they get alot of the tubs back after a couple weeks. My guees is as people get better with it the less often they get thetubs back



Also there is a thread on vintage by superbee. He has a pic of the first time he used the wax.. man did he use tons.. it has since chagnged but probley used over an oz for one car.. :doh

Daaaaam!!! I'm a waxaholic (recovering), but it took a little more than a year for me! You don't mess around, do you??



I'm sentencing you to waxaholics anonymous!!!!!! J/K. You would be surprised as to what Vintage can do with just one or two layers. Remember its not about gloss..........any wax can give you gloss.



Its how Vintage adds depth and volume to color..........its amazing. You would need to both see it in person and to record it with a very good photograph to see the range of depth that this wax is capable of re-creating. I could go on all day about it. But to your credit, it is very intoxicating!!



Well let's see..........we have a little party!!! Calgary, 01bluecls, Supe, Vintage, MDRX. See Accumulator.........you're missing out on this big happy party. Don't you want to join in the fun!?!?!? Lol!!!!



Edit: MDRX, check out Calgary's thread and about what I said about the container. Make sure you send them a clean container!
 
ohh i have another one to add to the party. he has an account here but doset post much. nica, not sure when his is comming but I elive he did get it
 
We have a few of us here and there. Cupra-Clark also has done some nice work with the Zymols.



I really can't wait to see your Jag now!!!!!
