Zymol Ital (old formula) review
Zymol Ital (old formula)
Cost: $100CDN Applications size: well its an8oz jar. I would say 25applications per jar Price per application: $4 so no to bad Manufactures description (taken from ZDOCN): Italian cars have very special needs when waxing. Ital Glaze is specially formulated to protect and enhance the relatively soft paint finish of the Italian car. Developed in cooperation with Ferrari North America, Ferrari Italy and Pininfarina, Ital Glaze provides a clarity and depth of color generally not found in the original paintwork. Suitable for all paint types and colors. Ital Glaze contains 47% Brazilian No.1 Yellow and White Carnauba by volume (90% Yellow, 10% White). Look: it’s a cool red jar, its better then the new ones. Its thicker and has a clicking lid. So much nicer then they use now The wax was a light yellow paste wax, nothing mind blowing Smell: I don’t remember, coconut I think Texture: this was the smoothest Zymol I have used to date. No lumps, no bumps just smooth wax. It was a dream 1. Manufactures Directions (from ZDOCN): Put a very small amount of the glaze into the palm of your hand. Use the warmth of your hands by rubbing them together, to melt the Carnauba. With your hands, gently apply the melted glaze in a light, even pattern over no more than 3 or 4 square feet of painted surface. 2. Let Ital stand for 30 - 60 seconds. 3. Using moderate to heavy pressure, wipe very slowly with a Zymöl Microwipe (folded once) to a brilliant luster before the wax is totally dry. 4. Buff lightly once more approximately 3 - 4 hours later to perfect the shine How I used: I HD-cleanse pro’d the whole car. This make the paint look and feel great. I then took a small about of wax and melted it between my hands (wow was it ever smooth). I gently applied it to one section at a time. After I was done I removed the wax. It was very easy to work with. It was easy to apply and even easier to remove, After an hour I went back and field glazed the car to get rid of the sweating, Worked like a charm. Looks: this wax looked awsome on the yellow vette. It was deep, dark and had an awesome gloss. It was nice stepping back and looking at the car. I really really really like this wax. I like it as much as concours. (although I have only used ital on one car). I liked it so much I will eventually spend the money and get the new ital. Thoughts: this wax was great, it was the easier estate glaze I have used to date. It was not hard to work with, gave great results. I really liked it. I may even go back and pick up a tub or two more. If you could find a person to order it from a site that has the old ital I would snatch it up. It’s a great wax and for 100 bucks you cannot go wrong. Pics to come… Any comments questions or concerns? I would also like to know peoples honest options on my reviews. There is only one way to get better. I have thick skin to be honest. (ask my divine detail. I expect and give honesty, even if its brutal).Also do you read them? Is it worth it? Please please please be honest. Thanks for reading

I'll add a few comments about this product as well. It wipes off the easiest of all of the Zymol products i've used to date, and as Mike mentioned, its EXTREMELY soft. It's like snow melting in your hands almost, but it turns to butter!!! Great wax to work with.

Did you let it stand for more than 1 min? If so it it get increasingly hard to wipe off as the time went on? I found that the Glasiur was the easiest to use for me, never tried the Ital though.

I use the Ital quite a bit at work.. The majority of the cars get that treatment. I found in my shop I'll apply it to a few panels then go back and remove it, and that cleans up the best for me. If I go to wipe it off right away, I've found it hasn't cured quite enough, and if I do the whole car (which I've also tried) it's dried way too much, and becomes very difficult to remove. So I do about 1/4 of the car at a time, then wipe clean, move onto the next quarter.
When it comes to the differences between the old and new, I've heard that there don't seem to be enough improvements in the wax itself to necessarily warrant the drastic price increase.. That's just what I've heard though..
