Zymol Concours

Its really great seeing someone talk positively about this great product for a change. It reminds me of when I first tried Zymol Concours. I had to see exactly what all of the hype was about. I wanted to try different products, and seeing how I was disappointed with a certain synthetic lsp a year prior to it, I felt that I had little to lose.

And what a risk it was....that paid off. Ok enough until you tell us what your results were and what you think of it. Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions!!

Mike,
I agree lbls1 is 'the man' on zymol, but dont forget about me buddy! You better post your findings:) as I know you will LOVE it based on your joy with carbon. Remember to use HD Cleanse if you can (work small areas at a time and remove promptly). Then work in the wax to warm it up in your hands. I believe that with enough applications/buildup you can take this through the winter if garaged. I had it last longer than my souveran easy.

I think this is far from obsolete:wink: , but I wont get into that or cost, lets say if someone doesnt want it then there is more for me.

Destiny, Vintage are great too, but I use them sparingly due to price. Have fun.

You know what LOL it was not 1:30am (you car geek you:bigups ), but 11:30pm when I did my jag yesterday. Before the baby, I regularly sat in the late evenings, after the wife went to sleep, and worked on the cars with a beer or glass of wine. Now I need my sleep, the little one wears me out:) .

You know it :) .
I only wish I had been applying the concours consistenly to build up the layers on the Benz, so I could carry it through the winter. Relegated to using some reliable sealants this time.

I stripped off all my Zymol for the winter :(

I probably don't wax as regularly as I should during the winter. So, I go with something that requires less attention. This year I'm going with Collonite 845. Carnauba shine with sealant like durability . . . what's not to like?
 
Mikeyc,
I have been hearing good things about collonite. Plan on trying it next year. Have you used it in past winters? How did it hold up? Thanks.

I am not Mike...But I have used collinite for a few winters now....I used the 476s and the 915...both held up good thru the winter....

My chevy S-10 got collinite just before winter set in..Nov..and it would still be beading strong in late April...not a real beauty wax..but sure does hold up in the winter....salt does not effect it..thats a plus...

I am Mike :yay

Anyway, this is my first winter using Collonite. So, I can't comment on durability. However, everyone always says "it's not a beauty wax" and so far I think it looks great. It gives a very deep, wet shine. It's no Zymol in the looks category, but IMO it's extremely underrated in that department.
 
While I used Collinite Insulator Wax on the Montana last winter, I can't really comment on the durability. As with the other products I have used, it was applied every 4 to 6 weeks and it seemed to last that long with no problem.
The Insulator Wax looked good to me and I sure wouldn't consider it a second rate product for appearance. If it had been more readily available, I probably would have continued to use it.

I think i now have another wax to try. Collinite is on my list. When i get a chance to try it a yaer from now I will review it and let you know. (after the whole world has already tried it)
 
when you order the collinite from eshine you can order me some M16 as well :D Have you applied Concours to anything yet?

today would be a good day to check out the durability of wax. I just had to cram in 1 more detail before that blizzard came in!

Im jelous. I have been working on hw all day and havent got a chance to wax my car.Look like im going to have to wait till the next chinook until I get to try my concours.. or my #16 when it comes:smile
 
Zymol Concours states it a glaze..now sometimes i'm confused by how companies market there products...so is Zymol Concours a Glaze or a wax..Although it is few dollars at least it wasn't $1,500.00 ..

It's definitely a wax. I'm with you though. I wish all these companies used a universal vernacular. Glaze and polish are definitely the two worst offenders when it comes to multiple meanings.

whooo ,for for the price i'm glad to hear its a wax and not a glaze..I agree call a product what is...One small example: KAIO is a reccomended to be used as a cleaner..then i read it leaves some protection behind and some products may not bond well with it..

Thanks MikeyC

Klasse AIO is called All In One because it it cleans, polishes and protects all in one product.
How well it protects is somewhat questionable, though.

I have never heard of a bonding problem over Klasse AIO before. In fact, it would be my go to cleaner/polish before any product I use.
Have any of you experienced bonding problems after using Klasse AIO?
