The Zymol waxes do not leave a residue. I especially appreciate this in regard to the "gasket" around the headlamps and the black trim on the clamshell just behind the top.

Some people who try Zymol end up disliking it, and I think it is because they are not removing it correctly. The way to do it is:

1. Spread wax.
2. Immediately use one towel with LIGHT pressure to "even out" the wax and let the air get to it.
3. Wait a bit, depending on the ambient temperature.
4. Use a second (cleaner) towel to buff off what wax remains.
5. When all the panels are done, use a third, clean towel over the whole car to make sure you didn't miss removing any wax.

Also keep in mind that Zymol waxes are NOT polishes, just waxes. So you would first want to use a clay-bar and/or actual polish to remove contaminants from the paint. Works great for me!
