I have used the Zymol cleaner wax extensively...
before switching to the Creame. I found it just as easy to use as any other over-the-counter wax product. If it is hard to get off, then you have let it set for too long. No direct sunlight and watch the temperature and humidity. The higher the temp and lower the humidity, the faster it will dry. It should be a white film when you buff it off. But just as it turns white. Never do a section larger than half the hood at a time.
It will not work as well as Zymol HD Cleanse or Pinnacle Paintwork Cleanser or I am sure whatever Zaino's wax and particle stripper is. But it is the best OTC product, IMHO.

Don't use the cleaner wax, it's not a great Zymol product, and I'm a huge Zymol fan. Go
to their web-site and order a jar of carbon (dark cars) or creme (light cars) and get a bottle of HD-Cleanse. Do the HD-cleanse first, and follow it up with the wax. You only need to do the HD-cleanse step once or twice a year. The wax you can keep reapplying, and Zymol wax leaves no white residue, so you won't spend an hour digging wax out of every groove with a toothpick.
Oh, and if you're going to use a buffer, I recommend the Cyclo double pad. It's a $300 buffer, but IMHO much more sophisticated than Porter Cable. PC makes mostly industrial stuff, while Cyclo makes products only for automotive/marine/aircraft polishing. If you want the absolute best, go with Cyclo.
Good luck.

I agree. Was skeptical at first..now I will never go back to hand waxing-results are so much better
Wax/polish goes on thiner (use much less wax), easier to take off. Not to mention much faster.
I was scared at first of it. Tried it on our truck. I was blown away. Then used it on the TT. Glad I did.
