I have been a fan of Zymol wax for over 10 years. It started when I attended
the BMWCCA Octoberfest in 1989 with my beloved but now gone 1970 CS Coupe.
This guy in a white lab coat approached me and asked if he could wax my car.
"Huh?" Says I. He introduced himself as Chuck Bennett and explained he was
the owner of Zymol and traveled the coutry promoting his product at all the
major marque gatherings. He waxes cars that he likes and he liked my car. I
agreed and have been a loyal fan ever since.

I think the name of the dark color specific wax is Carbon. Don't but the
stuff sold at the major chains. Its not the same. You'll want to use their
surface prep called HD Cleanse first. The initial application takes longer
but subsequent waxing is very quick. There's also hardly any white stuff to
detail out of crevices. Don't be fooled by some claims of 100% carnuba wax.
The wax that's in there is 100% carnuba but typically that's less than 5% of
the total. The Carbon has about 25-30% carnuba. The price is high at about
$40 a can but you'll get 10-15 applications if you use the prescibed very
little for each use. They also encourage you to wax in the direct sunlight as
the heat helps the carnuba to flow out of suspension better. Plus, there are
no harmful by-products. The others use a lot of bad stuff to suspend the
carnuba and thus can cause damage in the direct sun. Did I mention how great
all their stuff smells? Joey and Paulie would probably want to eat or
whatever this stuff.

There's also the Zaino polymer products but I haven't had the chance to use
these. BTW my car did win the Concours at the 1st s-car Nationals.

Hap, gonna be waxin with 70 degree sunshine in Everboost, Maguire
