I checked to make sure i am aloud this and i sure am so I hope eveyon enjoys
So here is the long awaited review. I promised it, and am now getting it done (a few months late)
Product: Zymol Concours
Container size: 8 oz
Price: $164 USD
Application size: Allot at 1oz a car.
Price per application: 164/8= $20.50USD
Smell: It smelt awesome. Like cinnamon candy. Almost like those little heart candies at valentines day. It smelt really good. I wanted to eat it.
Appearance. It looked like a yellow solid. The yellow was like big bird. I know its a weird color to compare it to but I thought they were similar.
Directions Per Zymol (paraphrased): 1: Wash and dry car, hd cleanse if needed
2:apply wax with hands
3:lightly buff off to shine. Do not let dry
How I used: We washed the car using Zymol clear (I thought I would play with the zymol stuff). We then dried and buffed the car using optimum polish. I wanted the cleanest nicest surface I could get.
We then applied Victoria wax lite cleanse. I couldn’t find the zymol hd-cleanse. I have used the hd before so I knew what it was like. I like the VW stuff better anyway so no biggie.
We then started the fun. We took some wax from the jar. It instantly melted in our hands. It was really cool.
You could feel it melting.
We then started on the hood. We realized we had way to much wax so we also did the bumper and fenders.
The wax applied well, it was not hard however lots of wax is used. It is hard to get a nice thin even coat but as we went on it became easier. I think a few more cars and it will be no problem
We then buffed the hood, bumper and fenders.
I found it was very sticky and hard to buff. It needed a pre buff to get off most of the extra wax then a second buff to make it shine. The second buff was very easy.
We continued to do the whole car this way.
We took a step back in awe. It was done.
We then drove it outside to get some pics. There was no sun. I was sad.
Appearance: it left a depth very similar to that of Victoria wax concours. It looked as though you could walk through the paint. But it had more then depth, it also had shine. It was cool.
The one thing I was really shocked at was how it reelected light so differently from every angle.
Lbls1. Once wrote about the optical range of concours.
Boy was he ever right. Pictures do not do it justice. Its hard to explain but it almost takes a glow, very angelic.
Final thoughts: Man I love this stuff. I really want to try the vintage now. See if it can get any better.
The wax is still expensive and wont be used on everything however it is something that will be applied to higher end summer cars.
I would recommend this wax. If you can afford it. Then i would say try it.
well there it is. Any comments or questions?
p.s here is a link to the pics of the jag to see what concours can do
