Zymol Pre-Wax Applicator (x2)
Zymol Towel (x2)
Zymol Microfibre Cloth
Zymol Wax Applicator
Zymol HD-Cleanse
Zymol Clear
Zymol Glas
Zymol Z3 Glaze
Chamois Leather
Large Sponge
Small Sponge
Autoglym bumper care
Standard dish cloths
Paper towels
Vacuum cleaner
The process:
Interior- Vacuum the interior.
- Apply Zymol Treat with a pre-wax applicator. Work around the interior and then buff up with a Zymol Towel.
- Wipe down dash and interior plastics with a damp dish cloth.
- Use paper towels and Zymol Glas to clean all interior glass.
Exterior- Wash car using Zymol Clear. Large sponge used for large areas and smaller for detailed areas and finally sills before being binned.
- Rinse and then dry with a chamois leather.
- Apply HD-Cleanse using a pre-wax applicator and buff off with a Zymol Towel.
- Apply wax with a wax applicator and buff off with a microfibre cloth.
- Apply Autoglym bumper care to tyre walls and plastic trims with a dish cloth. Buff up with a clean dish cloth. Autoglym gives a wet look, whilst Zymol Tyre Preserve gives a great matt black look, but needs much more product to achieve good coverage, so Autoglym gets the nod from me.
- Clean exterior glass with Zymol glas using paper towels.
Stand back and admire. .... and be ready to wash bird sh!t off in the morning, or for it to be raining.  |
I am guessing this takes longer than half an hour ...
My regime is more like this:
1. Pay lady who comes to our office to clean car
2. Get home and apply Meguars NXT spray wax.
3. Drink large G&T
