Is their any type of tool or way of seeing how much clearcoat you have left on your paint? Just curious.
 
I thought these devices measure all layers (prime, base, clear) not just the clear. It would give you a baseline reading you could keep track of for future reference I guess.

If you ever try any of the high line (custom blends) from Zymol, it is heavily suggested to apply by hand. Did it a couple of times, and, was none to fond of the process. I did try to scoop a sample of Royale Glaze from Zymol once (7000 US), they blew me off :(
 
I didn't think Zymol was that good? Were can you find those at? I figured putting wax on by hand would be a nightmare.

You can usually find it at discount on Ebay and Amazon. They are known for making some custom blends (ie. very expensive: Destiny, Royale Glaze) for specialty cars and manufacturers. They also make some lower priced more common custom blends called Titanium, Ital, Concours and such that would still be considered expensive. Do they look better than Souveran, in most cases no, but it will make Souveran seem downright inexpensive.

Zymol also licensed there name to a company to make some store bought products. These products would be considered mundane and match store bought quality. Normally found at Target and Walmart.

That answered my next question. I wasn't sure how they compared to Pinnacle or WG. I think I'll stick with those, although I wouldn't mind trying the zymols.
