P21S / S100 is awesome. EZ and fast to put on and remove. No white stuff on your trim to fix in a few days. Instant, all out appearance, provided your paint is in good shape. It's so easy to apply and remove that it's comparable to a spray detailer. This partially or fully makes up for the 2 month life. Just do all or a portion of a panel using the supplied foam. Then wipe it off with a microfiber cloth starting from your origin. No waiting. Whole car done in a short time. No wearing your arm off or weird side effects. Durability was ranked 4th out of 46. Best appearance of any wax, natural or synthetic. Going to a show- get it! You can layer it over synth too. But it's fine by itself. And it's reasonably priced - 25 or 15 bux.

I agree. I used P21S for the first time last night and am very impressed. I've never used a paste (or liquid for that matter) that was so easy to apply and then buff off. Does anyone feel there is any reason to use the Porter Cable with this wax? It seems to work so well by hand.

I used to use Meguiars, but this year went to P21S. Got the kit on a special from Car Care Specialists http://www.carcareonline.com/monthly_specials.html

I hope that makes some sort of sense.

I guess the bottom-line is that there is no added benefit of an extra layer of carnauba wax right? How much time should elapse before the next coat would do us any good? In other words, if S100 has an average life of 2 months (I actually don't know... just throwing out a number)... would it be a waste of time and wax to apply another coat just 1 month later?
