Well, I asked my detail happy friend which wax I should buy for my new Z and he told me to get the s100. Said once I use it I would never get anything else. It is market towards motorcycles he says so I need to go to a bike shop to get it.

So, just curiouse if any of you have any experiance or know anythign about it and would like any input you have.

Thanks.

I love it. Been using it for a year now over a blackfire base. I got my first jar from properautocare.com then just got some more from the harley shop. I believe its the same as pinnacle, or some other high line expensive wax, but repackaged and less expensive for the motorcycle group.

Actually S100 is the same product as P21S, both carnauba waxes with a heavy oil content.

White mineral oil or silicone oil is found in just about any carnauba wax, the more the oil, the more the shine. The more the oil, the less the durability.....

I sometimes use it to top off my Zaino, and it really makes the shine appear deeper. Bought it at a Harley shop for $12.50.

Kev, How do you figure it is the same product? How do you know it has a heavy oil content? Do you make it?

I have found out that it is basically the same product. Just marketed towards diff. groups. Look at the containers, almost identical.

Its common knowledge and many, many detailing boards that I go to that it is the same and made by the same people, just different marketing strategy.

How do you I know its oily? because I have some P21S in my shop, just rub it between your fingers for your self and you will see. It leaves a heavy oil film on the car, so much so after you buff off the wax, on a dark car I can write my name or anything else with the tip of my finger.....

Plus, I know how carnauba waxes are made, I have worked in this field since 1984....

Did not say its a bad idea, I used carnauba products for ten years from about 1984 to the early 90's, got tired of the look and short durability so I don't use them any more....
