For those of you who love P21S (it's a really great wax), Harley Davidson makes a wax that is the same exact formula but much, much cheaper. You can pick it up at a Harley Davidson dealership or certain motorcycle dealerships.
He is talking about the s100.

I have tried almost every single name brand wax, polish. However my favorite is Shining Monkey. I don't why many people here sleep on this product, allthough it is very popular among the Lexus, EVO owners. Anyways i am definetly confident once you try it, you won't change it to anything else.

Lets see some close-ups/ full sun reflection shots. S100 is a great product, but it won't cover up imperfections or anything, so without any polishing I'm sure you have swirls etc since its an earlier model sedan. My mom's black durango looks just as good from a distance after a coat of aquawax, but its covered in imperfections when you look at it closer.

The zymol you are referring to and the ones mentioned before are in different categories. The $11 bottle is in their consumer line, and isn't even made by them, its made by turtle wax. They basically are marketing their name for a semi decent product. Its a good cleaner wax, but has a tendency to streak on alot of surfaces. The high end line the others are mentioning are high carnuaba containing products at a much higher pricepoint.

Four Star UPP or Optimum Car Wax Spray. Duragloss Aqua Wax is pretty impressive as well. Blitz Wax would be my go to Nuba....
Boutique products may cost more, but, IMO, yield more desirable results.
Agreed!

Can't beat a good carnuaba on red, makes it look really wet. P21s/s100 are good, my personal fav is collinite. OTC your best bet megs #26. Haven't tried nano, but i don't personally like the sealant look on red, which i believe what nanowax is.

I agree with you. I used Shinning Money on my IS300 and now use it on my G35. Hands down one of the best products i have used, i'm surprised no one has mentioned it on this forum. There tire shine is the best and now they have an awesome interior leather cleaner!

For lighter colored vehicles - P21S Carnauba Wax

For darker colors - Poorboy's World Natty's Blue Paste Wax or Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax Both are exceptional, the Natty's Blue is the best value IMO but the Pinnacle is a step above anything I've ever used if you got the $
