I am impressed so far, but it takes ages to clean the car thoroughly before application, and then ages to polish off the zymol - it goes worryingly matt before shining up.

Suggestion
The wax should last for ages, as I only used a fraction of the tub, and that is meant to last for months if cared for (ie only wash car with water not detergents later).

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

you cant be driving fast enough !!! If you were the air flow would push them up and out of the way. Go faster, if still bugs, try again but faster... etc.
Autoglym Fast Glass takes most bugs off easily. It can be used on paintwork aswell. Failing that Autoglym intensive tar remover shifts the awkward ones.
They say that if you Zymol a car, then the bugs almost wash off with cold water. I have zymoled my car but not washed it since. I will report back when I do!

Domster
Cheers all. I'll get to work.
Domnster, whats your opinion on Zymol and is it worth the money.
I've considered it, but never parted with the cash, and there will be a zymol stand at branham park this weekend.
Thanks
Pac
You only need the HD cleanser (about a tenner) and the standard wax (carbon for mid/dark colours or creame for light colours) which costs about thirty quid, to zymol a car. see

The wax should last for ages, as I only used a fraction of the tub, and that is meant to last for months if cared for (ie only wash car with water not detergents later). You have to keep the wax in the fridge after opening, as well!
I am impressed so far, but it takes ages to clean the car thoroughly before application, and then ages to polish off the zymol - it goes worryingly matt before shining up.
After though, it looks fantastic, and bird shit bounces off it, rather than sticking to the paintwork. Not tried the dried flies yet, but hopefully they will come off more easily.
So yes, I like zymol, as don't polish my car everyday, and you can see the difference that the zymol layer makes. It is good value as well, as a tub should last for years. Although their most expensive product is 1299 GBP, which makes you wonder how much anyone is willing to spend on polish (even if it is a lifetime's supply).
I have also taken to waxing my wheels (no waxing my rim jokes thank you Scottster) with furniture wax, as the brake dust just wipes off and doesn't cake on. Works well.

Mate I wouldn't dream of it
I leave that to UV now!!
If you don't have time for that (and DOm really was out there for a whole day, try Autoglym High resin polish. I did the 993 with it on Monday evening and it took an hour to do the whole car (and I've always been very impressed with the finish)
Costs about a tenner too but you can get it from Halfords now I think.
I set my garden hose to a fine mist and leave it in front of the car for an hour or so.
It softens the bugs up really nicely and they wash off without much trouble.
