Default Are S100 and P21s Really the same?

A number of folks in various posts have indicated that S100 and P21S are the same wax yet S100 is significantly cheaper. I thought I remember reading that S100 and P21S have different colors (and thus IMHO different) but I can't seem to find posts that indicate this. Other than posts on this site, are there any extrenal sites / references showing they are the same wax? Has anyone actually used both side-by-side with indiscernable results relative to apllication, removal and shine? Those that use s100, where do you get it?

I've been told they are different. Similar but finishes are different.

s100 in Canada can be attained from any Harley Davidson Store.

To confuse the issue, I've always heard that they're identical (except for packaging).

I will confuse even more. It is my understanding that P21S is their flagship brand and has a higher carnauba content than S100.

i have heard all of the rumors, and you cant even tell from their websites...
i use p21s - i have also heard good things about s100. but for me, p21s is such a great product that i have no reason to try any other carnuba product!

My S100 is the exact same color as the P21S above. I bought it last summer. It's the best wax I've used so far (and I've used a lot over the past 10 years.)

Zaino's next on my list to try.

My S100 looks just like your P21S, it's off-white, not yellow.

This question keeps surfacing from time to time. I've never used either, so my experience is not first hand....

Someone investigated this a few months ago reported that while S100 was once identical to P21S, the S100 formula has changed within the last year or so, and is now a different color(as seen above) and no longer the same wax. That explains why some people have the matching color, and others different. It all depends on when it was made/purchased.
