Nice ride! Lose the front plate and get some clear side markers and it will be even better.

Default In praise of P21S/Question about Einszett Glanz?

P21s - wow. I tried it and you're right the shine and feel is just awesome. Even just one coat leaves a deep, wet luster, one you almost feel like 'jumping in' to. Very pleased, and I did apply it by hand and buffed it out by hand, section-by-section as the instructions provide.

I do have a question about the Einszett Glanz, which I applied with the Porter Cable before the P21s. Is it an extremely watery formulation, or did I get a bad bottle? Even after shaking it up, it came out a watery liquid. Granted, it did dry up in a gray haze as the instructions state, but I'm just wondering. It shined up nice and all, but the coup de grace was the P21s on top of it.

Superb!!! Yes, the Glanz wax is just like water.
