Default Another wax question

OK. So I arrive home today to find a UPS delivery leaning against my front door. It is a present from the Porsche dealer from which I bought my new 991. It contains products from Super Polysteel. Sort of a Whitman's Sampler of car car products. I have done searches of this and other sites to learn of this company to no avail. This might be because of my well established incompetence, or maybe there isn't much out there about these products. Soo...any of you folks know, or have experience with them? As an aside, the new 991 is a fabulous car, but this weekend I'm taking a drive through the mountains, sort of a magical drive through rural America. I will be in my 993, a 15 yr. old car that is still the high point for me in driving pleasure. It wasn't even a close call. I feel the same way about my 37 yr. old Ducati.

The key is proper washing, claying, washing, and paint correction (polishing). The wax/sealant choice is more about how easy they go on and come off. Most give great results.

I have not tried that brand... I love P21S Carnauba wax... works well on Porsche paint... easy on, easy off...

But NoHTwoO is correct, the final wax stage is only part of the equation...

Probably a new brand, marketing via Porsche dealers, hence the free samples.

If it came from the dealer, & it was free, mostly likely it's worth about that much.

There are so many lines of products out there, only a handful are really any good. Try it, if you like it use, if not, use it on a Honda.
