I use Meguiar's Deep Carnauba wax, it works great and doesn't take the paint off. Just make sure you have at least one clear coat.

It might only be a little bottle but i have used one bottle to do almost 70-80 models. You dont need to put much on a cloth as it goes along way.
Its very easy to apply and polish off.

It does go a long way. And to add to that, it smells good too.

Result is probably case by case.
Zymol doesn't seem to affect Tamiya TS or Gunze. I haven't tried Meguiar's, but I have one, so I should go experiment. |
