Where do you get the stuff? Can I put it on my head to make it smell nice and make my hair grow back?

the Zymol you can buy at K-mart is made by Turtle Wax. you'll know the real stuff by the price. if you say "OUCH!" when you see the price, then its the real Zymol. not my personal favorite, BTW. i think 3M's glazes and polishes are better. wax is just the protective coat - glazes and polishes make the paint look good.

Not true. There was some wax test on an NSX test. The Zymol outscore mequirs, mothers, and (obviously) turtle wax branded stuff. They also did a comparison between the expensive Zymol and the 8-9 dollar Zymol and nobody could tell a difference. Go buy the cheap Zymol. You will not be dissapointed.

It's not the size that counts - it's the rotation.
I like the palm model myself.

i agree. you can get small areas that you can't get with a big buffer.

Yes, Alan, and I find those big buffers awkward & difficult to control when approaching the more delicate areas.

Ron,

One must be very very careful when choosing and applying wax.
I used alot more than a "little dab" and "it did me"!!!
Now I have a beautiful and shiny scalp for all the world to see.

PS: It's not the size or rotation that counts.
Any sailor knows it's the motion of the ocean.

We need some experts. Where's the fellow in the purple prom dress and the young lady that zipped him into it ?

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Ditto on the mother's 3 step system. That's what I use.
