Zymol isn't bad, but I've found something a lot better. Zymol is about $12, you can buy Meguiar's Step 1-3 for $15, Cleaner, Polish, Carnuba Wax. The easiest of all the waxes I've tried to take off. Plus get a clay bar that will help too. Here's a couple pics from when I used it.

I read a web page that tested Zaino, Zymol and Meguiars. The Zaino lasted the longest, then Zymol, then Meguires. Im very pleased with Zymol.

I've been using Zymol from Wal-mart for a few years now and I like it pretty well so I have no complaints. It wipes on and off pretty easy and it smells good too. As far as it lasting in the rain and etc., no problems here.
