I've just got some Clear Autobathe to try (£10 rather £24 via Detailing World.... a mod had two unopened bottles). I have been thinking of trying carbon as my LSP too (or Dodo). The rest of the stuff such as tyre, wheel cleaner etc i'll stick to the cheaper stuff.

interesting that they started classing you as a franchisee when technically you are not, i have been in the same boat myself in the past, Z work in an extreme way, but i still struggle to find out, how they manage to make this extreme way work for them

Very well written explanation, certainly doesn't come across biased or anything of that nature. It looks like Zymol's lose for sure.

Wonder how Swissvax compare as a supplier, the Devine wax seems o be rated. As an aside did Swissvax used to be Swisszol (Sp?) would bought out the Wax Wizard (Mark Underwood?)??? Memory is rubbish and it was some years ago.... the days of the Wax Wizard GBs

I beleive so didn't Zymol challange thel over the "...OL" in the name so rather than defend it at huge cost they just changed it

Swissvax changed the name from Swissol in March 2007 as a result of a settlement with Zymol.
Mark Underwood was hauled over the coals by Swissvax UK a few yrs back, he never owned Swissol but did supply stock (I myself used to buy from him before I was affiliated) He has been "disappeared" a few years now and I often wonder what happened to him and the family.

Supplier wise there has just been huge upheaval re Swissvax UK but this can be found on the net if you search as this is Rich's thread but he did hint about the reseller part which I thought was a good point well made!

It would be interesting to know what happened to Mark Underwood, I remember him giving me free tickets to the motor show way back when.....
