Car-Lack and Zymol

OK, gave the Audi some treatment yesterday:


  • Wash
  • Clay all over
  • Meguiar's Scratch X where necessary
  • HD Cleanse
  • Car-Lack Long Life acryl wax
  • Zymol Titanium on top.
Car looks good - but it did after the HD Cleanse. Was impressed with the Car-Lack stuff: went on and came off nicely.

I did only half the roof with Zymol to see if there is any difference between Car-Lack and Car-Lack + Zymol. No visual difference and, now it's peeing with rain this am, no water beading difference either.

Interesting. Maybe more layers of Car-Lack and/or Zymol would make a difference - although I've got other things to do than lavish attention on cars. Maybe one half of the roof will prove more durable than the other.

Will experiment more with 993 soon.

Let us know how the experiment goes.

Interesting.

I'm going the same route, except I was hoping to forgo the HD cleanse and prepare the bodywork with the Car-Lack 68 cleanser. I'm hoping this is easier to apply, as I've always hated applying the HD cleanse.

As with you I will follow with the Car-Lack Acryl Wax and top off with the couple of coats of Zymol Glasur.

Hope it's going to be worth the effort ... on Arctic Silver.

The carlack68 is slightly abrasive so no need for HD Cleanse.

You cannot layer the Carlack68 only the Carlack Acryl Wax.

JT,

Don't know if you will see any difference on Artic silver

Mark @ carsparkle.com suggested claying the car before using the carlack68 systemic care (polish), then applying the Acryl wax.

Doesn't the Zymol only bond to HD-cleansed surfaces?

Maybe the car-lack is acting as a barrier to which the Zymol can't bond.

The true test would be HD cleanse/zymol on one side, and hd cleanse/car lack on the other surely?

HD Cleanse is only a polish and if you don't believe me read the ingredients and you will see that it contains kaopolite which is an abrasive, zymol does not need anything special to work as it is a wax.

Bucket of soapy water and a sponge .. 20 mins later you were in the pub!
