Has anybody had their cars treated with Zymol and if so, what did you think? Also, can anyone recommend a mobile service? |

I've used zymol on all my cars for years. Really works beautifully and keeps everything ship shape. I wax about every 3 months and wash weekly. My wife's 05 Mini cabrio and my '03 Freelander SE3 both look brand new and my 1991 Range Rover looks a lot better than a 16 yr old off-road vehicle should at that age! Highly recommend zymol. |

According to the advertisements of Zymol and Swissoil in Germany their products are primarily used for oldtimer paint-protection.

I have recently washed and then waxed the car using "Auto Glyms Liquid wax", which can be used without fully drying the car.

Hi, Where can you buy these products in Germany, is there a chain of car accessory shops that stocks them ? I'm heading to Germany on Holiday in a couple of weeks, so I might be able to pick up some new stuff whilst there ! Regards Paul; |

Hi Guys. As promised I've put some pics in the Detailing album of my gallery. The wife spent almost six hours working on the car. There's a lot more to this detailing business than just shampoo and polish, I was told! After wetting and foaming the proper wash was done with Zymol shampoo. This was followed by JetSeal 109 paint sealant and two coats of wax. Instead of Zymol she used Victoria Concours wax which is recommended for red/orange finishes. The alloys were also treated with JetSeal - it really brings out the finish. Also got interior valet. I knew there was a good reason for marrying her!! Now I'm looking forward to getting it muddy again. Hope the pics speak for themselves.

Thanks to all for the information. After some research I have determined that Autoglym offers the best value for money. A local firm is going to apply the Autoglym Lifeshine product for £150 complete with complimentary aftercare kit and 5 year guarantee. Two major points to bear in mind, it is a British product and is also some £200 cheaper than the quotes for Zymol (circa £350). I will post an update after work is carried out on 5 Sept. |

Have a look on ebay, if you have the time, you can by the kit, less the after car products for about £20, doesn't come with guarantee but you would save £130. I had it done on my old vectra and kia sportage, paid good money out and after selling and writting off the Kia both within a year, i decided that if i polish the car myself i would keep the same shine that it gave |

Good luck with chemo- I finished a 6 month stretch of chemo last May so I can relate to what you're going through. Hang in there, and do things you enjoy doing when you can. |
