It seems like everybody here hates HD Cleanse, but the guy at Emmons (who claimed to be their head detailer) said that he swears by the HD Cleanse. Ordinarily I would just chalk this up to a guy trying to sell products, but he also talked me out of buying the Zymol glass cleaner that they sell...his system for detailing: wash, claybar, HD Cleanse, Wax.

So my two questions:

1) Does anybody out there actually like HD Cleanse and/or can anyone attest to decent results?

2) How on earth is HD Cleanse supposed to be applied? Onto a dry car? A damp car? With a cloth? With an applicator? Is it wiped off? Rinsed off? What???

Thanks!

>>What is HD Cleanse anyway?


I have a new bottle of the HDcleanse product but haven't used it yet, though it's supposed to be an excellent paint cleaner to be used prior to applying Zymol wax.
I have purchased the ZYMOL HDcleanse, ZYMOL wax, and the ZYMOL Field Glaze spray detailer.

Here's the product Indication/Directions:

ZYMOL HD-CLEANSE is a non-abrasive, essential oil based paint cleaner that feeds your paint and releases trapped dirt, impurities and dead paint resulting in the restoration of your original paint lustre.

1.Shake bottle slightly. Remove all loose dirt from the paint surface by washing the car with ZYMOL-CLEAR (their brand of car wash, but any will do). Dry the car completely.

2.Apply HD-CLEANSE with a cotton/sponge applicator to small sections with a firm to heavy pressure from left to right motion. (No circular pattern)

3.Let the product stand for 20 seconds, then wipe gently with a terry cloth/microfiber towel to a brilliant shine.

I can't wait to try all the ZYMOL products on my soon to arrive MCS. I intend on using the HD-CLEANSE at least 4 times a year, the Carbon wax at least once a month, and the field glaze after each car wash to keep her looking new.


For more info about ZYMOL car care products go to this website, hope it helps:
