S100 is the same thing as p21s, but is cheaper and can be found at your local harley or bike shop.

agreed. i used s100 last summer and loved it. easy on, easy off, doesnt stain, and looks marvelous. only drawback is the durability...i was getting around 3 weeks most out of it.

You can apply one of the acrylics/synthetics like Klasse, then use s100/p21s as a topper. This way you get the look of a carnauba along with the durability of a synthetic.

The s100 would still need to be applied every few weeks, but even if it isn't applied, the car would still be protected.

I guess I'll be the first to cast a vote for Zaino. ALOT of work, but I like the results and durability.

I just switched to Pinnacle Sauveran wax.

It goes on thinner than any paste wax I have ever used. The jar is going to last me forever.

I'm very pleased.

A group of owners on the E46 M3 board tested all of the waxes mentioned in this topic a few years ago. Several M3's were waxed half with one product and half with another. After the results were submitted, Zaino produced the best shine was the most durable. What no one could explain, however, was why Zaino attracted the most dust during normal driving. There were photos posted where the Zaino half of a vehicle was coated in dust, while the half using a different wax (any) was relatively clean. Anyone had that experience using Zaino?

If we listened to everything Consumer Reports had to say we would all be driving HONDA ACCORD'S!!!; nothing against Honda. I'll stick with my current cleaning products thank you very much. Generally speaking, the CR testing criteria for products does not always match what I think is important....usually.

Dunno I only do the Auto Resin and the polish & protector afterwards. It does wonders on my MX-5 which has no clear coat. On cars with clear coat it doesn't make that much of a difference other than helping water bead off the car.

I am a bit crazy - I get Autoglym stuff shipped to Poland from the UK. Can't get it here.

Is this the product you use from Autoglym?

1. Super Resin Polish
And then
2. Ekstra Gloss Protection
