How to use ZYMOL

Hi, has anyone here have experience using Zymol?  Just got some Zymol car wash and cleaner wax for christmas. The instructions for the wax says to apply with straight forwards and backwards motion as opposed to the tradtional circular motion. My question is how to buff it off? The usual circular motion or forwards and backwards? I'll probably experiment on the missus's car before trying on the Zed.

Thanks in advance.

Always apply HAND wax's in a straight forward and back motion, then use a lambs wool mitt in light wide sweeping circular motions to remove it after the applied paste has dried off to form a powder skin.

Applying wax in a circular motion will leave swirls which will be visible as the wax also cuts as its applied.

And always remember, do not apply any waxes in direct sunlight or on panels that havnt been cleaned and dried or that are hot due to being in the sun, its a recipe for disaster.

Thanks John for clarifying, it makes perfect sense. Only difference is the zymol cleaner wax recommends buffing off before it dries to a haze. But alot of people, including the official turtle wax website still tell you to apply in a circular motion. All my cars have had swirl marks which I think was made worse when waxing and this discouraged me from waxing my Zed. My Zed received a bare metal respray in standox two pack silver fine in 2006 by the previous owner. I hardly drive it due to work and family and when I wash it , it still beads quite well and it lives in a garage, so i have resisted waxing it thusfar.

Today I tried the Zymol on the wife's car, a 2007 Honda CRV, silver. Went up to the local supercheap and bought a Meguires clay kit. Followed instructions, wash with Zymol clear wash, then clay, then the zymol cleaner wax. Only done the bonnet, front guards and a door and I must say I am happy with the results. Not certain if the  zymol cleaner wax is three times better than turtle wax, most likely it was the clay that made the difference.  I know alot of the hardcore detailers dismiss zymol cleaner wax as glorified turtle wax, but for most people I think it is alot better than the usual kmart stuff and good enough for your daily.
