Zymol tips?

[colintinto]

Hi Guys,

Managed to take a day off yesterday and spent all afternoon with the Zymol kit. Used the HD-Cleanse stuff first - seemed quite easy, but then I think the paint was in pretty good nick anyway, as I couldn't see any visible difference between before and after.

Then put on one coat of Concourse - using the finger method. Again, not too much effort, as it was pretty warm yesterday. At first I was using a towel to buff it up, but then I checked the instructions and it recommended the micro-wipe, so tried that and it was much easier.

It looks good now, but it's not that much shinier than before I started. Would another coat or two make a difference? I read somewhere to spray water on and re-buff - anyone tried that? And I didn't quite get round to giving it a final buff 3-4 hours later, so maybe that would do it.

Took about 4 hours all in, treated the leather too.

Will get some pics up soon, the sun had gone behind the trees by the time I was finished.

Colin,

What colour is your car and how old is the paint. My old 964 was silver and only after 3 to 4 coats do you notice a difference in the depth of shine.

You must repolish after 3-4 hours, I had to do mine the next day as well, after it got left in the sum it "bloomed" (went abiy misty).

I use Zymol mainly for the protection and that it lasts so long.

Although 4 coats of Destiny on my black 993 does look great.

It's speed Yellow, 1997 so not that old, and was still quite shiny before I started.

I'll give it another coat when I get a chance, but I suspect Yellow might not get as shiny as black.
