Hand Job

Post by HDPete » Fri Oct 20, 2017 2:38 pm

Just finished a hand detailing on my beloved. Zymol Carnuba applied by hand - it felt great to feel the haunches of the beast. Fallen in love again.

Also fallen in love with auto glym Fast Glass. Piece of pi$$

I see there are many Zymol waxes with Carnauba, some extremely expensive. Which one did you use I wonder?

Zymol Glasur is a good one and not bad price.

Car looks great

It’s Sepang. The Zymol is from a kit I purchased a few years ago which had the auto bathe, leather conditioner, tyre preserve, pre wax chocolate cleanser (smells amazing!) and a 250g tub of Carnuba and a smaller tub for detailing. I think it all cost £450 from their agent. I’ll dig out the name of the wax.

It’s applied by hand and feels great. No swirls and doesn’t harden in the sun too quickly, so you can a few panels at a time.

It’s Zymol 8oz Carbon. This is the kit that I purchased

The wax itself is around £45 for 8oz
