I don't think you are very familiar with this product. If you were then you'd know that the "cleaning agents" advertised are to dissolve old wax, tar, road film, dirt and organic contaminants remain embedded in the paint even after washing your car. Once a coat of FF is applied, it will bond itself to the clear coated surface and form a tough, clear, protective layer of protection. The cleaning agents do no harm to a properly cured coat of FF, infact, due to it's bonding agents, each additional coat of FF will increase the depth, gloss and protection in your paint. True story

This synthetic polish is nothing like your everyday cleaner/waxes which indeed would remove the previous coat applied due to the abrasives and their non-bonding characteristics. It's this, along with it's almost rediculously easy application and removal that makes FF and other synthetic polishes so great. Not to mention their durability But don't take my word for it, see for yourself!

I was an avid Zymol user as well. That stuff leaves an awesome shine, smells good and is pretty durable. I also like how well it hides swirls too, awesome stuff! I don't like the horrible powder residue you get when removing it, and while it's better than most other waxes when it comes to staining rubber trim, it can still discolor them a little bit. A bottle of it is like $12.99 around here, while for $2.00 more I can get a jar of S100 so that's a no-brainer. You should try it, I guarantee you won't go back to Zymol.

i wash with Just water and a wash mit. If you use soap do not use Dawn, it'll strip wax. When i dry it take the sprayer off the hose and just let the water run on the car and most of it will all bead right off, then just follow up with a towel

I've only used the aerosol, it's cool cause it goes on quick and easy. But it doesn't last very long. So I stick to Endurance gel
