Yup the WW stuff got rid of all my swirls. Give Mark a call, or go to Scooby World who now stock it.

It is expensive, but not that expensive 'cos it lasts for ages

No connection etc.

I swear blind by Zymol.

It does need to be applied as per the instructions though, and won't give the paint that gloss finish - just reveal the paint in its true colours, which is a double edged sword I suppose.

About to test my new Swissol / WW stuff on sunday if the weather forecast is correct. Will post before and after pics. The car is beyond dirty, so should be interesting.

Swear by WW (note not swear at ~ LOL)

Wonderfull stuff, might be expensive, but it lasts for yonks. My kit is still going probably after 2 years. OK admittedly I don't use it every week...even so.

Cant see how anything can be any better than Swissol really. Has the highest wax content of any car wax, and uses only the finest ingredients as carriers. Smells good enough to put on your face or eat!

Zymol has up to 70% by volume pure white and yellow Brazilian Carnuba.

Swissol, according to their own website, has 'only' up to 60% by volume.

To be honest, there's smeg all difference between the two.

Pay your money and and take your choice.

Well guys you all have your own ways of keeping your car clean,but one thing is for sure swissol and zymol seem tobe top of the tree,I know all about swissol from mark and will be meeting up with him soon, I myself as i`ve said befor have been trained by zymol and autoglym, and if you can`t afford zymol or swissol then you can`t go far wrong with autoglym. Scoobys are not just for chirstmas.....!!!!!

doctor Clifford...the answer is YES. I have sold 5 in the UK (1 just before Xmas) and we have sold just over 40 units in the EU last year excluding the UK ones.

I have a nice surprise for the factory as I have an order for another Divine wax for when we re-open on the 6th. Lead time between ordering and taking delivery is 4 weeks for Divine wax as each order is custom built to the paint/manufacturer.

Guys...we (swissol) use a cranuaba content of anything from 30% tp over 60%. When one buys the "Divine" wax this is custom made to order only and invariably contains between 65 to 75% carnauba wax by volume.

Shield wax is the sister wax to "Concorso" and has a carnauba content of 50% (a tad more than "Concorso") plus it has the benefit of Teflon being added to it.

Samurai wax has a carnauba content of 37.5% by volume.

The Divine wax is supplied as follows: 1 x 250ml pot for ready use plus then you have a 400ml pot set in crystal glass which in turn comes in a solid teak container and a solid silver plaque engraved with the car details and owners name etc. Plus the Divine includes a complete kit plus a full monty carried by myself.

At the bottom of the range we use No1 yellow carnauba wax and as one rises thru the range we add No1 white carnauba wax. As one passes thru the mid point of the range we use less and less yellow wax.

No1 white carnauba wax is as a result of refining No1 yellow. The second form of No1 white/ivory is very expensive as it takes around a thousand sapling plants to extract sufficient raw virgin No1 white wax to make Divine..hence its price and exclusivity.
