Barry,
I too have used Zymol lately but had a problem with it recently.
There are no UV blockers in it. Only after a lengthy conversation with the
Mfg. would they admit it has no UV protection.
Recently my roof had some water drops get on it from a shower while
parked. The drops made like a magnifying glass and "burned" the paint below
the clear coat the same shape as the drops. The sunburns as I call them are
a faded spot. I never had this problem in the past 6 years with this paint
job using either Classic or Mothers.
I had an estimate of $200 to get the spots repaired. As usually
happens it will surely cost more once it get in the shop. Zymol does make a
great shine but before I ever use it again I will make sure I have a good
coat of real protection below it.
Burned in Texas,
