Pretty good stuff. A bit more work than Meguiars, leaves a thicker coat of wax on the car. Also tried the Meguiars wheel cleaner, not as good as the Eagle One gel but also good stuff. Sorry for the no A4 content.

actually, zymol is known for leaving a light film of wax. As Larry Reynolds jokes, it starts wearing off as soon as you are done buffing. So it's not the most long-lasting but it's pretty, and damn it smells good! Just make sure you use a small amount and don't let it harden (unlike other waxes).

I know it's not the "real" Zymol that costs a fortune (it's licensed out, I think Turtle Wax manufactures it) but I think it does a better job than Meguiars Gold Class. Lasts almost as long, and the shine is much deeper and my cars aren't dust magnets like they were with the Gold Class. It's got a carnuba and beeswax in it, along with a gentle natural cleaner of some kind. And it does smell good enough to eat!

I have to disagree with phred about Zymol. I have used the Carbon wax exclusively on my 97 and it has provided the best protection and shine of any wax I've used in the last 20 years. I don't enjoy waxing so I'm always looking for products that last long. With Zymol I only have to wax the car twice a year to get excellent protection even through the salt of rust belt winters. Be sure to use the HD Cleanse before waxing.

It gives an excellent shine, wasn't too bad to apply, and is providing good protection. I use the creme wax, along with weekly washes with Zymol's Clear Autobath and am very pleased. Also, as KarlK mentions, definitely clean the surface with the HDCleanse first, great stuff.
