Had my Cayman done professionally with Zymol Vintage, brilliant job by Offyourmarks, only product I have used since is Field Glaze. Alan
i have used nothing but zymol on my atlas grey cayman s and black 993 and it is far superior than anything else ive tried. twice a year i do the full thing-autobathe,klaybar and then finish with zymol glazur. every three months or sooner depending on conditions i top up with three or four coats of glasur after a wash.keeps it nice and shiny[

]Thats great to hear positive feedback This stuff is not inexpensive so rather than purchase the whole range I would like to try a good wax product from them Would the Zymol Glasur Glaze For Porsche be a good option as a twice a year heavy duty application after a regular wash and chamois ? I dont want to buy the wrong product and there seems to be a wealth of different options on the vertar web site

You're obviously interested in getting your P&J looking good, so can I suggest you have a read of the basic car cleaning guides on detailingworld.co.uk. A lot of that site is a bit anoraky, but they have good basic guides that have taught me a lot, and helped me get rid of a lot of the swirl marks on my 968. Wash - do not use a "normal" yellow cellulose sponge, it has lots of little holes that trap grit and cause swirl marks while you're washing. Use a wash mitt (preferably merino for the "clean" top half, microfibre for below the waist line and wheels) and the 2 bucket method, it's remarkably easy and makes sense. Do not dry with a chamois - same thing, it traps grit and causes swirl marks. Use a microfibre drying cloth. After that, it's up to you how much effort you want to put in. Re-wash, clay, paint correction, polish, glaze, wax - how deep are your pockets, how strong are your arms, how much effort are you prepared to put in??

I started using Zymol Titanium as soon as I bought my car 2 years ago. If applied properly, you use so little that the long term cost isn't that bad - I still have over 3/4 of the product left. I can't recommend it highly enough. Of course, if yiou are intending to use "Royale", it works out considerably more expensive.......but at least you get unlimited free top-up's!
Yes - Detailing world - an absolute mecca for the anoraks Its so mind blowing the amount of information on there and life is short Sponges - never use them - always a mitt , and 2 bucket method - so true Always used a synthetic chamois for drying - perhaps I should stop and try the microfibre cloths instead Ok - will give the Zymol a go and no doubt bore you all with the results Thanks again everyone

FWIW, I've spent today playing with a couple of Xmas presents - a DAS6 dual action polisher with the Sonus white 6" light cutting pad and Autoglym Bodyshop 02B 2000 grit paint correction stuff, Swissvax cleaner fluid regular and Swissvax Onyx wax. Prior to today I was using Autoglym High Definition wax, with an occasional clay and AG Bodyshop treatment. The swissvax stuff is about 4 times the price of the AG I've been using, and to be honest I'm hard pressed to see the difference in the finish. The DAS6 has made a big difference compared to my little 12 volt twin 4" Sonus white pad machine - I finally have no swirl marks on the bonnet and front wings (hallelujah, it's taken years!), and the DAS6 was really easy to use. The 3M blue masking tape along the joins was another good idea, copied from a body shop we'd visited. Got half the car done today, hopefully the reat tomorrow. However, to re-iterate : I can't at the moment see the benefit of the high price swissvax products compared to the much cheaper AG stuff!
