My only concern is that since its a cleaner wax, it may remove paint from the car. Ive already had paint issues and can no longer buff the car , so i have to be very careful with what i use. Kind of wish i never bought rally red if this was going to happen

used it today, car came out amazing just a b*tch to get the excess oil looking marks off. But all in all, it looks real good, took out every little scratch and all the dead bugs that nothing else could take out the paint.

Bumping a very old thread, I know... Just curious though - for those that have used this, does it actually do the job of a cleaner, a polish, and a wax? I'm so used to doing the old 3-step process, so if someone could just kinda confirm this for me, that'd be cool. I am about to go and try it in a little bit here today, and it feels weird not using cleaner right after washing/drying the car. Any input is appreciated!

I like it for a good cleaner/ wax that's easy to use but I would use Meguiars separate polish and wax for dark color car. That's what I like about white cars. Really don't have to waste time polishing them.

yes zymol is awsome my dad showed me some stuff on our prius that was 9 years old and i bought a brand new bottle and there was no diffrence i thing that is great quality just from the fact that it doesnt detiriorate at all..but heres something i learned....dont wax the whole car and wait for it to dry as you do with regular wax...with this stuff do 2ft x 2ft and wipe it away immdiatly but make sure you put extreme thin coats dont over do it....meguilers does not touch zymol the first thing i am buying for my evo is the japon kit from zymol...try it you wont regret it and if you dont like it send me your bottle cuz im kinda low...and its long lasting also... and sorry for my bad grammer kinda in a rush,..

Cool, yeah it seems to work quite well, but I kinda answered my own question today. From my experience, it seems as if it'll clean, polish and protect the paint, or at least the first two of those three. It definitely makes the paint look nice, but it doesn't really have a REAL cleaner effect like on exhaust soot and stuff like that. I ended up using some Meguiar's heavy cut cleaner to get that crap off the rear bumper, then used Zymol to finish it off (polish it up & protect it).

Overall seems very nice though. It took out some of these little tiny swirl marks that I've had for a while, so I'll continue using it...
