My paint was dulled on the boot lid... `looked like water
streaking. Same thing on the fender tops.
I don't think Zymol has any sealant other than carnuba. God that
stuff smelled delicious!!! I almost wanted to spread it on toast!
Zymol's supposed to be a "natural" product... It's been two
weeks. So far the car still looks terrific. I'll give it a wash
when things warm up here... I'll keep you posted as to how the
finish holds up.
BTW, It's not exactly inexpensive either.
