Here's a shot of my S2K after a recent wax. I think I used Zymol Vintage. I clayed the car and put on another coat of wax last week and it looks 100 times better than this now. The paint now looks much "wetter" and the shine is much deeper. However, I don't have a shot of the improved version because I lent my camera to a friend for his trip.

You THINK you used Zymol Vintage? One would think one would remember using a $1,500 wax!!!

Zymol Vintage
Yes. I think I used Vintage. I have four different kinds of Zymol sitting around Concours, Vintage, Atlantique, and Destiny. I don't always use the same one. They're all pretty good. Also, I didn't pay $1500 for the Vintage (although if I did I would get free refills for life). I bought the Pebble Beach Sampler which includes approximately half size containers of all the waxes mentioned above except Concours, a small bottle of Clear, a small bottle of HD-Cleanse, a microfiber towel, and a detail brush all for the low low price of $179.

Wow, that's a lot of wax.

I used to experiment a lot with car care products. However, I've found what I like now and I am avoiding further experimentation. I was originally introduced to Zymol by a guy I used to work with and he recommended Concours. So, I started with that. I got about 1/3 to 1/2 way through the container when I suddenly decided to order the Pebble Beach Sampler. I really wanted to know what a $1K wax was like (at the time it was $1K now it's $1500 inflation I guess ). So, now I have enough Zymol to last me probably the rest of my life.
