Default Worked good to take light swirls out of my Ebony pearl...

Kind of a PITA to buff without a haze (that water mist step in the instructions is weird, but works) Left a pretty good lustre. Doesn't last very long, and with an abrasive I wouldn't want to be using it every month. It does smell great though, very organic and sort of like bananas and melon. Give it a shot, there's really no harm in using it and it is the least expensive zymol wax out there. I plan on trying 3M Imperial hand glaze and Mothers carnuba wax next time I need to lessen the swirls. I'd also prefer a carnuba wax with no additives for in between waxings.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=2361">

Default Uhh beware of the Zurtle wax...most of the Zymol products you'll find at the auto

shops like Pep Boys and such. If it says made in Cincinnati or something like that then you can rest assured it isn't real Zymol...it's stuff made under license from Zymol by Turtle Wax hence the name Zurtle Wax. If you want the real deal you'll have to buy it online...maybe www.carcareonline.com would do the job

James R.

Default Actually James this stuff is real Zymol, and is shown on the Zymol website...

I don't think the "Zurtle" wax products are made anymore, I haven't seen them in months.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=2361">

Default Yeah the price looks right...I just remember the big Zurtle wax debocle...

there were lots of people being duped into buying non-genuine Zymol products, I wasn't suggesting that you were one...just wanted to warn you both just in case you didn't know about it.
