Default Zymol Destiny

Whats your thoughts on this wax? Is it much better than concours? On par with vintage?

Just looking for some feed back.

I doubt it would be on par with Vintage, considering the price difference. I can't remember off the top of my head, but I believe Atlantique is positioned between Destiny and Vintage.

I have not used destiny.. however I have done some research, and used other zymol waxes.

Each wax is diffrent. They have a diffrent optical range. Is vintage better? depends who you as, but it isdiffrent.

so to say its better is hard to do.
I think the only way to know if its better to you is to try it.

And dont assume that becasue its more expensive its better. I have talked to a few peopl who say antilque is way "better" then vintage, or even royal.

its about find the wax that works for YOU and YOUR paint.

I would say take the plunge and ler us know what you think
ohh and the hiercry of the esate line is

1.Titanium (sorta)
2.Glasar (sorta)
3. Concours
4. Ital
5. Destiney
6. Antique
7. Vintage
8. Royal
9. Solaris

zymol makes "model spefic" waxes. there are a few of the lowe ones that are ment for light and dark (creme and carbon) but the esate line is more car type spefic. There waxes will work on any paint. So dont be lured into that.

The waxes I have tried all looked great on white. If you are intersted in getting into the ZEG the I would suggest trying out tianium. It is applied in a similar way to the higher ones and will give you a taste of the zymol world

I've never tried Destiny my self but I've read great reviews on it, I would have to agree though, I don't think it would be a fair comparison with Vintage but that's just my guess

As for light colour vehicles, I've used Glasur (sorry for SP) on a light colour vehicle and I was very pleased with how well it performed for me. It's really meant to be used for Porche vehicles/paint but I just pretended it was a Porche vehicle lol.
