go through the entire process of removing the old wax with one of those wax cleaners and then re-wax ?

as I'm considering changing from my previous lower content Carnuba Wax (about 33%) up to the higher Carnuba content (50%) i.e. up to the Titanium Zymol wax......?

and after all the effort last time.. I dont really want to do it all over again ! :?
as I'm not totally mad about car detailing & living in London I cant clean my car as regularly as I would like......

btw.. anyone got the Iconic rinse system ?

I would re-cleanse a couple of times a year anyway. You're doing the right thing by looking at Titanium which has White Carnauaba in it, much harder finish and deeper glaze than Creame or Carbon. Concours is much better though, I know it's a fair amount of money, but the results are amazing and will last longer.

re-cleanse a couple of time... :o
! you clearly work in that industry :D

but which one is for shine and which one for more protection.... i.e. higher yellow or white % ?

i.e. concours has more white stuff...... I though (!) that was the best protection and yellow was shiny????

cleansing is v.important get the destiny/concours/carbon/hd cleanse and clear kit and a few terry towels and fleece cloths its the best value.

I use destiny on the front, concours on the back, titanium on the wheels and carbon of the windscreen and on other peoples cars to show up their autoglym :wink:

I also use the leather care, plastic trim cleaner and seal moisturiser along with the tyre preserve and cleaner and seal

oh yeah don't forget to Llem Klay before HD cleansing

Mind you I haven't done any of this for at least 6 months!

Sorry, White is an overall better Carnauba than Yellow. The higher you go up through the range the more White Carnauba is present. In fact, past Titanium, none of the waxes carry Yellow.

so more white = better protection & better shine...

as that's what I want rather than a better shine...... that right ?

but on the windows.... what's all this about in non-wax speak please ?

So it's got to be Zymol then???

I read somewhere that Meguiar's outshone Zymol and that their NXT is ace.

Swissol???

You could save money and try Zaino with Rejex on top!
