<MISC> RE: How to use Zymol HD-Cleanse

> Wade Melnick asks about Zymol -

	Since Zymol guru John Walsh is not on the list, I'll attempt to 
fill his very large shoes...

	Any painted surface benefits from HD-Cleanse and Carbon wax.

	Remember, when applying - non-circular motion. Light pressure 
(disregard the manual on pressure, according to John Walsh, Zymol 
Technical Director). Apply by hand (as well as the wax). You'll start to 
get a good feel (literally) of what the HD-Cleanse and wax is doing, and 
the condition of the paint.

	By hand, you will eventually start to feel the HD-Cleanse loading 
up, and sticky patch areas will occur. You will arrive to a point where 
there is a distinctive difference between these patches and oily areas.
Wipe up the sticky patches with one cloth. Then buff (always lightly) 
with a separate cloth. On your first time HD-Cleanse of a car, you may 
need to do several applications to clean the paint.

	On the Carbon, again apply by hand - the warmth of your hand 
helps dissolve the wax. Back and forth motions. Use sparing amounts and 
apply with light pressure. Wipe off major wax residue with one cloth, 
buff with a second cloth. It may take 30 seconds to buff an area. Fear 
not, with a clean cloth, it all comes up.

Cheers,

Filippo

p.s. HD-Cleanse and Carbon will not hurt chrome. For urethane parts, you 
can also purchase Zymol Detail which has extra additives to compensate for 
flex agents in the paint on urethane parts. For plastic areas, Zymol 
Vinyl works great and is not silicone based, so it's easy to wipe off the 
paint.
