Question Max.........is it an issue for cars that have fully cured?
I use Zymol............though this year will REJEX the tail pipes/rear bumper/trunk area that gets icky from the exhaust. I will Zymol the rest of the car and let me tell you.............that stuff lasts a long time when applied correctly. I too also only wax my car 2 times a year................maybe 3 times if I am lucky!

Jim, I have also heard many good reports on the off-the-shelf Zymol Cleaner Wax (not the super duper fancy ones available only in specilized stores), particularly the report on NSXPrime. Is this the one you use?
I used it on my previous cars and I liked the result. What I didn't like about it was how difficult it was to remove the wax and white residue.
Max, so which wax/polish do you use?
Chip, have you used Klasse? I like to find out if it requires hard scrubbing to remove it.

Basically, when you don't have time to Klasse the car, 1) simply wash your car, 2) don't even bother drying the car, 3) spray the Klasse detailer on all over the wet car, 4) wipe off all the water/Klasse mix with your choice of towel, and you are good to go. If you are ambitious, you can spray on your choice of non-wax detailer (Final Inspection, Mother's, and etc.) for the twinkling shine after you wipe off all the water.

That sounds really slick, tiger.
Zaino sells a separate product, Z-6, which they call a "gloss enhancer." I have it, but I never use it.
I presume that's the same thing as what you would call a detailer, or no?? Have you tried Z-6? Any comparison with the diluted AIO mixture?

Interesting discussion, it would take me a lot to move from zaino to something else, just as it is what i have always used on the S, and it builds up all the time.
Anyone got any picture comparisons of Z vs K ?

Hey tiger, my car is dirty and the weather is not good over the next few days, so I won't be able to try it first hand. Can you give some insight on how easy/difficult it is to remove Klasse after applying? Do you do one section of the car at a time, or do you apply Klasse to the whole car and not have to worry it dries to a haze that would be difficult to remove? Thanks!
