Afterwatching Larry apply theZymol using his handsand fingers at RPM, thisis the method I used.The Zymol wax, whenapplied to your hand,sort of melts from thebody heat and you justwork it into the paint, asmall area at a time. Iagain used the 18” x 18”approach.It’s crucial tonot let the Zymol waxdry on the car, so usingit on a small area is important. After working the wax into the paint, I used amicro fiber cloth to remove it. According to the experts, using a micro fibercloth is preferential to using a terry cloth towel because the micro fiber toweldoesn’t absorb the wax; it lets you work the wax into the paint even more,leaving a great, smooth finish.So, what did I get from this process? Well, I got really smooth handsfrom the Zymol wax! And a great looking polished and waxed finish to myblack paint and clear coat. The cost? About $129 for the Porter Cable polisheron the internet from one of the online tools suppliers, and about $70 in polish,pads and wax. The time it took was only a couple of hours for the front of thecar, the hood,bumper cover andfront fenders. Theresults are greatand I felt I reallylearned somethingand accomplisheda lot. I’m notafraid to use ar a n d o m - o r b i t a lpolisher on mybaby. And a blackcar looks so coolwhen it’s reallycleaned up.Page 27All photos by
