After looking at previous threads I'm going to get some HD Cleanse & Zymol wax from www.zymolforbmw.co.uk I also understand the need for the "multistep" application process.
Is the Concours wax worth the extra £100 over the Carbon wax? What's the difference between the two. My car is Carbonblack - what should I get - I want a deep 'wet' shine to really bring out the colour.
I have used the carbon but not concour. If I remember correctly only difference is the carnauba content.
Concour: Concours Glaze was originally designed by and for the founders of Zymöl for their own cars. Now it is available to everyone who demands a "show-car" gloss and depth of shine. Concours contains 47% Brazilian No. 1 White and Yellow Carnauba by volume (90% White, 10% Yellow).

If you can afford it, go for the Concours. I detail with Zymol all the time, you will be amazed at the difference in depth of color and shine with the Concours. Looks like a show car. Apply with your hand, buff off within a minute, the buff the whole car again 4 hours later to remove the carnauba flakes that arise. You will be very pleased with the results. I will try to add an image, never done this so it may not work.
By hand I mean (1) put the stuff on your fingers so it melts (2) smear it on the car (3) buff off by hand with a clean cotton cloth (no orbital polishers etc.)
In order to properly apply the Concours you have to warm the wax first. They say to let it melt in your hands, I cheat and either stick it out in the sun for a little bit or breath into it to generate some heat. Then I run my fingers(almost gone after about 30 applictions) to pick up a very small amount of wax and then spread it along my palm. Then I use back and forth motions in both directions to insure even destribution of the product. Buff off by hand using a micro-wipe in about a minute and then buff the flakes off by hand again with a micro-wipe in four hours (I sometimes leave it overnight, then buff off the next morning). Hope this answers your questions. If you want to apply by hand, then I definately reccomend this approach. You cannot beat the results you get with Zymol if it is applied correctly. Good luck.

My 540 is Jet Black. Really is great when it is clean. Unfortunately, that is only for about 10 minutes after I wax it .
Question about Zymol waxes...
. I figured it out but you beat me to it. How do you make it smaller?
