Think thats good! Keep in mind the angle of the wing most of it will run off anyway....

Look at the Bonnet of this RS4 coated with Vintage.

Lisburnni let me use some of his zymol glasur wax and I have to say it was the quickest sheeting wax i think i've ever seen on my car - plus the sides of the car didn't seem to dirty much driving on wet motorways, the water was just running off it so quick!

Has anyone else noticed this with any of the other zymol waxes?

 

[Rik]

So what wax do you's recommened then

That vintage stuff dear tim?

 

[Ruth]

vintage is over a grand rik

I have some Zymol Vintage, and Destiny and Concours, and Destiny sheets really well.... The Video that Tim put up is a guy on Detailingworld, he is using a filtered water, which also really help with sheeting water...

Got zymol Carbon wax and glasur wax.

I've found there is a difference in the depth and wetness of the finish, havent really looked at sheeting difference between them. (Was however amazed how the water wouldnt sit on the Mini next time I went to rinse it with the hose after applying carbon wax). Its not twice the performance for twice the price by any means.

The higher grades of zymol that amos mentioned not only have higher % volume of carnuba, but use a purer better quality white carnuba.

The zymol vintage is about £1800 or you could go for the Zymol Royale at a cool £7000. Both would be good waxes too buy if you are a professional valeter/detailer as they both come with unlimited free refills, so you could make your money back on them.

I have the Zymol Concours (£165 a tub) which is what the black civic is done in, in the first video. It looks well after one coat but its once you get the 2nd and 3rd coat on that you really notice the deep wet look on the car and the sheeting is unreal too

so what happens if your car gets dirty and you try to wash it then?

I thought this too but apparently they only sell these to private users and not to the trade... but whats to stop you being a dirty liar?

 

[minibutmighty]

Any chance of a sample of the vintage wax Amos, seeing you get free refills lol.

Whats the deal, how often can you get a refill? Or have you not required a refill as yet?

 

[Amos]

I only have a sample pot of it 4oz's, not much different.... The only advantage is free refills.....

Yeah that could be true, but I think if you become a licenced Zymol valeter/detailer you are allowed to use it for trade purposes. Saying that it costs a few k to become one

If the is a layer of dirt sitting on top of the Concours (or what ever you use) then the water won't run off as easy

The only difference you should really notice is that it will hold its deep wet look for longer than Concours or the likes, e.g. do one car with royale and one with concours, in a fews months time you should notice the difference, the royale should still have that just waxed look

Should it not also give a wetter deeper look straight off?

Yeah it will give a wetter deeper look straight off but the differences are not going to be massive, but you should notice it. The wax really comes into play after a few months, when other waxs have faded, it is still showing off its just waxed look
