P21S

For many years I have had great results using P21S wheel cleaner. However, I have never used any of their other products. Does anyone have any experience with their wax, polish, or other products? With Spring coming I'm thinking of trying some new things.

I was thinking about the same thing. Actually just sitting here thinking about where the nearest HD dealership was.
I know my father wouldn't let another brand of product touch his BWM motorcycles, and he was p.i.c.k.y. . I'd also love to hear others' expericences with the different products...

I love P21S. Very easy to apply and it has a wet deep look to it. Got mine at the local Harley Davidson store. Slick.

It is w/o a question one of the best carnuba waxes I 've used.
The wax goes on & off like melted butter,leaving your finish w/ the deepest ,wettest looking finish . For $15.00, it has no equal.

I'm currently using them too, they're one of the easiest products to apply and to buff off. Try em ... you won't be sorry .

Good luck

s100 observations

First, let me say that these were only my observations with s100. I know others feel differently!

I have been using zymol and was happy with it aside from the durability-seems to need redone about every 2 months. So I decided to try s100 paste wax. I stripped the zymol with Dawn, dried the car, and then set to work. I got the hood done before I gave up! It was a 60 degree, overcast day, but the s100 hazed extremely fast. It says on the instructions that it's okay to let it fully haze, but if you do, you have to scrub to get it off. Even wiping on a 1 sq. ft. area and wiping it right off, it still took a lot of work. When I was done, the hood looked good, but I didn't feel it was worth the extra work over zymol. As far as appearance, the s100 did give a 'deeper' shine and brought out the subtlties of the Orion blue better than zymol, but the zymol was brighter and gave a sharper reflection. So for now, I'm sticking with the zymol and giving the s100 to a friend for his Ducati- I think it would be great for a bike where there isn't as much surface area.
