Default P21S vs Mothers California Gold

Does anyone know if there is a noticeable difference between P21S and the likes of Mothers pure carnuba wax. I have used Mothers on my black Boxster however I'm still hoping for a little more shine if possible for 9 year old paint. Thanks....

I can't speak for P21S.

I use the Mothers Carnuba as the last stage (2 coats). Prior to that I use either Mothers glaze or even Meguiar's NXT (2 coats), I like Meguiars stuff btw. Perhaps overkill but if it wasn't for the stone chips it would look damn close to factory.
That's for just doing a wax job. Swirls/holograms etc takes a different approach.

If you look at my avatar, as small as it is, you can see the cloud reflections on the hood.

I've used both. P21S is much better and last longer.

The Leafs could use some of that.

P21S ... Worlds Best Wax seems to be better on my Boxster. I use P21S on my Ford as it comes second to WBS. Learned a lot from our Tech session at Autobahn.

I agree with Jaak. I have 21S, Zaimol, Victoria, and World's Best Wax (Autobahn Spa) and I think WBW kicks *** over all the others.

All these high end waxes are very good. It all comes down to longevity, ease of application and the colour of the car. Black cars (I've had a few) respond most dramatically to different waxes, silver cars are easy to make look good. Since I have a silver car, the most important criteria is longevity of the wax and that it doesn't leave any white residue if I get it on the trim accidentally.

Well I guess I can't complain about P21S . A few people commented at last weeks GTG about how good the car looks and i haven't even washed it yet this year
