[s-cars] Best Hand Wax?

[DOUGLAS LANDAETA]

I used Zymol for specific manufacturers paint, wife's toyota, volvo,
etc. She loved the smell and I was pleased at the result. The HD
cleanse works very well. Follow instructions as after the first wax
coats, very little is needed to keep it waxed. Have not tried it on the
Pearl as yet, prolly will with warmer weather.
