Hi all,
It's been a week since I picked up my silver IS. I picked up mine last Saturday. I was going to apply Zymol Cleaner, but the sales guy told me not to use Zymol yet since you just picked it up. Instead he recommended me to use paint protectant. So I did. Washed it the next day and put Prolong Paint Protectant. It was smooth as silk.
Then today came. I washed it again (since it rained couple days ago and got dusty). Right after work, I went and picked up Zymol cleaner. Washed it and applied Zymol.
Well, here is what I found out. After waxing a small area, the area felt rough. So I looked closely and saw very small particles all over the waxed area. I buffed it for a long time, but couldn't get rid of the rough feel. So I was like what the heck. My girlfriend put wax all over the car and I buffed it like there's no tomorrow. It got shiny, but the car got rough all around.
I know a lot of people here use Zymol. Am I using it wrong? What I did was apply the wax on a small area with 100% cotton towel. Then I took another clean cotton towel and buffed it until didn't see any wax. A lot of people here also said it takes forever to wax the car with Zymol. But it only took me about 30 mins to wax the whole car. Am I not doing it right?
Can someone provide their result using Zymol?
How was the feel of the paint after buffing it? What's the proper use of Zymol. Put some wax on a towel and dab it on a small area and buff it right of way? Or should I leave it on for some time? If so how long? When I left some area with the wax on for a while. The wax got hard and turned into white powder when I buffed it.
TEG or anybody, input please!!!!
