Taken from an old post, one man's opinion,
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Zymol is a product made by turtle wax that is based on carnuba oil technology. I didn't like it as it has little durabiliy, especially on a dark car in the sun, and the gloss and slickness drop with a few washes / rainstorms. I am sure you have all seen this. It does provide a nice deep WET shine, do to the oils in the product, but how much dust does it attract? When I used it I didn't like it most because it was very hard to buff off</font>

Zymol is not that bad. But it can be expensive, and it doesn't last a very long time. I have a few friends of mine that take their cars to car detailers and they use Zymol. It looks really good for a couple of days, then it just fades.

Hmm. I was gonna post a link to a site that discusses all kinds of wax, but I checked it before I did and it looks like they killed themselves.. hehe

I found it when I was searching the internet for anything bad said about Zaino (no easy job!) before I first bought some.
