The two products are absolutely nothing alike. Zymol makes carnauba products that are some of the least durable on the market. Even when comparing Zymol to other natural carnauba products it ranks pretty low. Not to mention their waxes are incredibly over priced and their marketing is a complete joke.


Zaino is a synthetic polymer product that contains no wax. Zaino has excellent durability and can last for many months without needing another coat. It consistently ranks at the top in most wax tests and enthusiast detailing forums. Zaino works very well on daily drivers that need good protection. I would absolutely never trust Zymol for protection. The Zaino shine is near 100% optically clear and it really helps in making the paint easier to clean when washing as nothing seems to stick to the Zaino. Zaino can also layer to increase the shine and protection whereas natural waxes can't.

I can't think of any reason I'd ever want to use Zymol. Even on show cars I can think of better products at MUCH better prices. And if you're referring to the Zymol sold in stores that's blue in the bottle, don't bother....it's made by Turtle Wax....

Oh, Thnx...
No, I actually ordered a 12pack of almost every Zaino product, but yesterday, I saw an Ad that said that they used Zymol, and that it was awesome and then some... I just wanted to know if I made the right choice.

Thumbs up

I tried the Zaino for the first time a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed with the results. I had always used Meguiars' commercial line of products and the Zaino blew them away. Now if the Zaino will just last as long as everyone claims it will..........

If Zaino wasn't the absolute best I wouldn't be using it.

Those are great cars and must be a pleasure to detail! I'm still partial to Ferrari though.....
