Yes they are. I have been using Zymol for about four or five years now.
Not the inexpensive stuff you by at the local auto parts store either.
What I use is about $35 a container. I was convinced of the superiority of
this stuff when I did a comparison side by side. I polished one side of
the bonnet with my current wax at that time (which was one of the better
waxes at the time) and then I polished the other with Zymol. You could SEE
the difference. The Zymol side was NOTICEABLY deeper and much more shiny.
Been using it ever since! (by the way, last time I read a test of waxes,
turtle wax was rated the least desirable of the bunch-sorry, I didn't do
the test, just thought you might want to know :-{)
