Zymol Clear Review

here is a review on zymol clear that I did. I know its not sold by AG, however i hope this ok. If not please delete and accept my appolgise. this is in no way ment to start a war or casue problems

Well its review time again, i appolgize for my tardiness on this one but it happens.
So here is my review on Zymol clear (car wash soap)

Product: Zymol Clear

Price/Size: I went with the 8.5oz to try, it was $24USD.

smell: It was lemon scented, it was a very nice smell. I really liked this one

Directions (paraphrased):Add a small amount to a bucket and add water, it will foam up. (like any other soap)

How I used: I filled a 5gallon bucket about 3/4 the way up (im not a huge fan of suds). I then added a cap full of Zymol clear).
This was prob. about 1/4 of an oz, so really not much. Tops 1/2 and oz. It it works out to be only a few bucks a wash which is on par with many other soaps that required 4 oz per wash.
I then filled the rest of the bucket with water.
Holy suds batman, this stuff foamed up really well.

Then i stuck my hand it to see how slick it was. WOW its like when you add alot of liquid soap to your hands and its super super slick. I was shocked

i then proceded to do a regular wash, top down ect.

Lubicity: I touched on this before but I cannot stress how slick this soap was. For the small amount I used I was more then shocked it was amazing. It was slicker then anything i have used, including the optimum wash (which to this date was the cats meow, nothing better, untill zymol)

After effects: All i had protecting my paint was 3 month old megs 16, the shine was startinig to go but the paint was still protected so i want worried until midterms where done.
After washing and drying with a cobra WW drying towel the car was super shiney. Very similar to what alot of QD's do. It almost looked like the paint was just waxed with the VW concours (very deep with a nice shine)

Finial thoughts: I love this soap, its expensive to buy to try but wow it is super slick and leaves the paint looking and feeling awsome. There is nothing at the same level.
Also if you look at the amount used per wash this is not much (if at all) more expensive then any other soap. Its weird but the truth.
I would give this soap 4.5/5 (only loose the .5 becasue it dosent come larger then 16 oz and the bottle is expensive)


Well theres my review, any comments or questions would be grealty appricated. (actully i love them good or bad).

Well thanks for reading


Mike

Having used Pinnacle, Wolfgang, Duragloss, Zaino, and Poorboys with better success, I gotta say it was quickly moved to the back of the shelf like P21S soap and several OTC others.

I have tried a few soaps from ag (in my goal to try every detail product.. if ionly it was possible) I find it to be slicker then anything they make. however there are still lots of great soaps on AG. out of th ones i have tried (alot and i cant remeber all of them off the top of my head so imnot gona lost them) i would go with the new optimum wash. this stuff is reall nice, super slick and fun to work with.

I still like the zymol clear better but OS is a really awsome product

I used it before, and it is a nice soap with a pleasant smell. Lubricity is kinda like Pinnacle bodywork shampoo. It's kinda pricey, though. For money, I'd stick with Poorboy's SS&S, and Duragloss.
