S100 Wax testimonial

I just bought the S100 Cleaner and the S100 Wax. Before using it on my Black MB, I tested it out on an old burgandy suv we have. The suv is about 10 YO and was HEAVILY oxidized.

The paint looks brand new with minimal scratches. The cleaner and the wax are both wipe on / wipe of with no significant elbow grease. No electric buffer needed and both steps only took about 30 minutes (total).

S100 and P21S are the same products. However, they market S100 through Harley Davidson stores (and its $10 cheaper).

MB next week.

Zaino vs. S100, it's an entirely different game. If you were to give me a few of my favorite glazes and then top them with S100 or Pinnacle Souveran, then I believe Zaino no longer looks as good. Of course, Ali likes reflection....I like warmth and depth. It depends what you are going for. The truth is though, if it were not for the durability of Zaino, I'd still be using wax. Zaino is like instant pudding mix, quick and easy.
