Default zymol sure does smell nice

but it's so old school. Are you thinking it's due for a retro comeback? All the BMW oldtimers use it, but that's because it's all they had back in the day (and the company is generous with concours sponsorship money to the BMW CCA).

I defy anyone who's used clay to try and work with zymol's liquid version (clear?), it's impossible.

Default Swissol would be a good addition. Not as outrageously priced as Zymol, although still

very high end. Also, there doesn't seem to be many distributors for it in the US if you compare it to Zymol. When places like autopartswarehouse carry zymol, then you know it has oversaturated the market.

I hear the Swissol wheel brush is the **** too.

Default If the Zymol spray on wheel wax does what is says, might be nice to try

Otherwise it's just another pricey spray that does nothing....too many of those already out there.

Default Unless your clients are screaming for it, I'd say skip...

how many different lines of products do you really want to carry?

Default Zymol stuff has the BEST shine & depth out there, Titanium & Concours

are the ones to have, one cheap &amp; one really good one.

I've tried them all, Vintage is the best, but you get 90% of that with Concours, &amp; 75% with TI.

Default Zymol experience similar to Griot's Best of Show

I have found both of these products very difficult to remove and get a streak, for lack of a better word, free finish. Zymol was like I applied butter. Seems like way too much work. I hope to get better results with the FMJ I have coming from you today.
