I've used Zymol out here in the hot Arizona sun for six years now. It's held up pretty good. Although not nearly as expensive as Zaino and Crystal Guard, it is on the high $$$ side for off the shelf waxes at about $15.00 to $17.00 a bottle, depending on where you buy it. Most other waxes can be had for under $10.00.

Curently I'm using "Mothers" and their quick detailer after reading wMichaels testimonals. I'm trying it for a year to see how it compares with Zymol. In the long run, I think it comes down to just how you take care of the car... todays waxes and polishes are all pretty good. They are alot easier to put on and take off than waxes of just 10 years or so ago.

My wife's daily driver... '94 Honda Civic SI, with original paint (to be honest, it's never been in the snow belt). For the last 6 years all I've used on it was Zymol, not bad for a 10 year old car. Of course I'm the one who has to take care of it. :roll: :roll: :roll:

My daily driver is a Jeep TJ... not much spit and polish goes into it. Maybe once ayear a coat of wax goes on and a quick wash after a few trips in the desert and that's it. (It's a "Jeep" thing). :wink: :wink: :wink:

BTW: Next time you see this syle of a Honda Civic... take a close look. It's height, width and length dimensions are almost the same as the Xfire. The Xfire is an inch or two wider and about an inch lower. When I first pulled it in the garage with #2815, I was amazed that the size of both vehicles were almost the same. The long hood of the Xfire is what makes it look larger than it actually is.
