with the right prep, ie polish sealers or cleanses zymol is fantastic.

think they do a starter kit

meguiars is good, but the zymol is excellent, very high quality ingredients.

poorboys is also excellent, i use a lot of there polishes and trim cleaners.

all depending on what you are using, a machine or hand to polish and wax.

if by hand then you will probably not see much improvement over the meguiars apart from perhaps a deeper longer lasting shine.

if you are going down the machine polishing route id highly reccomend the menzerna range of polishes and then zymol as a sealant/glaze.

BTW, did anyone realise that other than the top-end Zymol stuff, the "normal" range is actually made by TurtleWax under licence......

I used to use this before I moved to Poorboys which says a lot for poorboys , I was using Carbon to start with and then I changed to Titanium, all applied properly with HD cleans etc, it is good but I think Poorboys is better and it is MUCH cheaper, I have seen very good results with their Concours glaze though

I think it depends on what finish you want also, as MATCOS said i also use poorboys as its better in some areas n also cheaper but i do like the finish of the zymol waxes over any of the poorboys such as natty blue.

you will end up like me and most others probably with a shelf FULL of polishes waxes, sealers and glazes lol.... its an expensive hobby keeping ya car clean

personally i dont think you can beat p21s as a last coat wax as long as your paintwork is perfect as this is just pure wax
