Turtle Wax and Zymol

I stumbled across this site
http://www.autosupermart.com/store/s...nds/zymol.html
They offered pretty good deals on Zymol products. I was surprised by them being upfront about who makes the products. If you look at the Zymol auto wash, one-step cleaner and detail spray, they're subcontracted to Turtle Wax! (At least they're being honest!)
Has anyone tried these? Are they better than what comes in a Turtle Wax branded bottle?
Also, is the $25 bottle of Zymol in the blue bottles also high-end Turtle Wax? It's sold right next to it on the shelves at Target and Pep Boys. Is it better than Turtle Wax Ice?

I can't speak for everyone, but nothing from a local generic auto store goes on my mini. I order from DP and Show car detailing only. I think most folks on this thread are the same or similar. Not sure if this helps though.

Now I don't know about their consumer stuff you find in auto stores, etc. My experience is more with their pro products you can order online, but I used Zymol many years ago. It's a carnuba-based wax that gives an awesome shine, but it only lasts for about a month before you have to rewax. It's more well suited for show cars that are constantly detailed and driven very little. The consumer cleaner wax may be quite different in appearance and longevity.
