Awww yeah... I just pulled the trigger on some Zymol Concours...

I justified it by telling myself that if I upsell a handful of customers to Zymol instead of my standard wax at $30 a pop it will have paid for itself...

I know this may not do anything for most of you.. but for the few OCD guys that detail their cars on here.. well, smile for me!

Wat?

:dunno:

It was a tough call between this and Swissvax but I ended up going with the Zymol... I already have 2 people booked to use it just from talking over lunch!!

Be careful with that stuff. Too much use could cause your paint to look like this. :D :nuts:

Do you put the Concourse on with fingertips or is it just like regular wax?

It's user preference but I will be doing it both to see which way I prefer - due to the high carnuaba content the wax is rather hard and that is why people apply by hand to warm it and make it workable.. If I do not like hand application i will be warming up an applicator.

I'd likely nuke it for 30 seconds or so and let 'er rip with a MF covered sponge.

Stay on them! Talk is cheap when there's snow on the ground and it's freezing cold.

After you sell them on Concourse.. Then move them to the Royale ;)

Hey MotorCity & Texas,

What brand of car wash do you guys use???

Due to the high temps and hard water where I live everything streaks no matter how well you rinse. Because of that I buy whatever is on sale. Most recently I bought Meguiar's NXT and it seems to streak less than most and has long lasting suds.

If I'm just doing a wash n vac I'll go over the car afterwards with Optimum wax or Aquawax to remove the streaks/cloudiness.

If it's getting polished I don't care if it streaks or not because the buffer & polish will clean that up anyway.

Royale's expensive.

But if you/it can produce results like this (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=56439) and you have clients willing to shell out for it, then why not?

Unfortunately the Royale will not give a finish like that alone. It is all in the prep.(Could you imagine what it would look like if he just waxed the car?):yes:
Matt does it right!!

Nahh, we are talking once the snow melts.. they are already current vehicles I do that the are owners itching to get done at thaw

yeah I'm not going to warm up the whole pot.. I will actually be putting the pot of wax in a cooler with ice when I bring it on a detail.. keeping it cool is key to shelf life.. I may be getting a wine cooler for my waxes soon

Hey MotorCity & Texas,

I would suggest duragloss #901 for maint washes and Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss to strip everything off and start over again

yes that is a great detail.. I remember reading that not long ago..

I dont think I am ready for the Royale just let.. I'm just getting my feet wet with the Concours, after that I am getting a comparable Swissvax and determine what brand I will begin to collect and use for upsels...
