Zymol Z503A Cleaner Wax - 16 oz.

This is one of my go-to products when I need to polish a problem spot or minor scratch on one of my cars. It is not very abrasive, but has enough to deal with small scratches. Of course it is also a great wax and super easy to use in the usual way. New users are usually surprised by how easy it is to use and what a great job it does. I use these as gifts for friends when they buy new cars to get them thinking about a good car care program.

I used this product back in the late 90`s and it was amazing and then it disappeared. Its back and it amazing today. It goes on easy and come off easy. It removes the oxidation and is really spectacular for cleaning up a dull, lack luster clear coat and making it shine like new money.... with NO buffing machines! The more you use it the better it works Just easy on, easy off. You can buy those expensive kits but, this stuff is heads and shoulders above the rest This is real German engineering!! Hope this helps

I have never considered posting a review on Amazon until I used this product. A lot of car care product manufacturers create a lot of hype about their wax and claim to create the deepest shine 'ever'. Well, I must say that after using Zymol Z503 Clearer Wax on my 2009 Mini (Chili Red), it has produced the deepest, wettest, slickest, SICKEST shine I've ever seen on any car I've ever owned. Period. It goes on easily but as per the instructions, I found it best to keep to a body panel at a time, or less. The product dries fast so you need to spread it fast. I used a microfiber wax applicator and that worked find for me. Removing the wax is slightly more difficult than say, P21S, but using a waffle weave microfiber cloth seems to make things easier. I followed up with a spritz of Mother's Instant detailer and final buffed with a plush microfiber cloth. All I can say is this wax really lives up to Zymol's claims and is well worth the asking price.

Back in the day, I had done some detailing work, and we all loved Zymol. The wax was rather costly, however. Then Meguiers came out with an outstanding cleaner wax in the mid 90's that made all of our lives easier. So, I stopped using the zymol hard-wax and moved to the new cleaner hybrids. It took Zymol a few years to bring to market, so I was glad to see that they understood the market and developed some thoroughly modern products. I have been using this Zymol Cleaner wax ever since it received top reviews from CR and a few car mags. As a side note, I was a biochemist for a while and always like to devise "tests" on the products I use! So, I chose to wax my car with Zymol, and my wife's car with Meguiers cleaner wax, as well as my truck with Mother's cleaner-wax. I can't say that there were huge differences in performance between the 3 brands over the 10 years that I have used these waxes. But, there are a few reasons why I chose to use the Zymol wax on my car and not the other 2. First, the Zymol applies very easily. It spreads well and is easily removed by buffer, or by hand. The scent is very pleasant too. I noted that the zymol must also have an oil in it that remains after the buffing. I noticed that my car (grey metallic) had a deeper, almost "wet" shine to it. This effect only lasts about 2 rain storms, but it is still very rewarding! As far as longevity, they were too close to call. I got more oxidation from the Mother's brand, but it was on a Honda and not a Porsche. The paint may be a large variable. As far as the "cleaner" effect, I would say that it seems to remove light swirls and hard water spots effectively. I still use a dedicated swirl-remover from meguiers before I wax anyway......So in conclusion, I would say that the Zymol wax is an easy to apply, 3 month lasting, nicely scented, reasonably priced, and wet-shiny product. I only gave it 4 stars because I would prefer if it lasted 6 months!

I've used many diff waxes over time - and I always go back to Zymol. I've used Meguiar's, Turtle Wax, and a few others. It's not that the others weren't good, it's just that Zymol has the best of everything. I use it on black cars and brings out a deep mirror shine. I've used it on white cars and it leaves them bright white. On other colors, it leaves a great gloss. It doesn't have annoying fumes - it actually smells good in my opinion.I wax all my cars by hand - and this brings out maybe the ONLY drawback of this wax: if you apply a heavy coat, it can take quite a bit of work to buff. Also, I keep shaking my towel to get rid of the residue from buffing. However, these are only small nuances in my book. Once you finish it leaves a cool, silky smooth coat of wax.Note: to make my shine last longer, I dust off the car everyday to remove the layer of dust that a waxed car seems to attract. Not really sure exactly how long the coat of wax lasts bc I wax my car every other week.

Like others have mentioned, wax was separated -- watery and lumpy -- like cottage cheese. Customer service was absolutely no help. I would have thought they would simply send me a coupon for another bottle. Instead they wanted me to join their allegiance program so I could get a discount (I guess) on future products. They have lost my allegiance.
