P21S 12701W 100% Carnauba Wax | P21S 100% Carnauba Paste Wax 12701W 6.2oz with Applicator

This is the most expensive wax I've ever bought and used, but I'm glad that I took the leap. It adds a higher level of depth and "wet" look and feel than other waxes and sealants I've used (Klasse, Zaino, Zymol, Blackfire, etc.). I can truly say the look and feel of the wax is 2nd to none in my personal experience. I'm sure there are better waxes, but with this sort of thing I feel it may be an exponential cost curve relative to the benefit. For those that may be interested, I used this wax on a bright yellow car. The durability is more than adequate given my application and I applied a total of 3 coats in 2 instances over a year. I'm fortunate to have recently been able to buy a sports car that is not my daily driver. As such the application for this wax is on "garage queen" as some might say. The car gets driven, just not when the weather is poor. So please bear in mind my application does not test long term durability. The ease of application was top notch. After I took off the initial coat I was worried I did not let it setup long enough because it came off so easy. So on the 2nd coat I let it stand for over 30 minutes and it came off just as easy. As long as you don't apply it to thick, you won't get any white wax residue with this wax. The applicator pad that comes with it will likely wear out before you get through the wax, but you can buy additional ones. Because the size of the can, the specific P21S pads work better than a generic microfiber pad. Like most things in life, preparation helps a lot. Prior to my wax application the car was washed and clay barred. I would recommend to anyone willing to pay this much for a wax they take the time and do the prep work prior to use. If you aren't willing to prep the car, I don't think any wax will give you a satisfactory result.

I have been detailing cars as a hobby for about 20 years now. 10 years ago I discovered P21S and it has been my wax of choice ever since. For vehicles that are worth the hassle I will go through an initial process to perfect the paint as much as possible. CLEAN - CLAY - BUFF, wash with strong Dawn mixture to strip everything off - Then SEAL with something like Zaino or Optimum Gloss Coat - and finally WAX. From that point forward I will only apply P21S wax periodically. Supposedly without the hardeners this wax will not last as long as others with the hardeners in them BUT my experience has been the opposite. I use this on a daily driver that gets washed once a week (with the P21S wash) and through the harsh winters and summers in Iowa I can go 6-9 months and still get nice beading when washed. It's also a good wax for everyday vehicles because I doesn't leave the white residue on plastics, rock chips, rubber, etc. It goes on easily and wipes off clean with little pressure. Not being loaded with the cleaners, dyes, and junk like 99% of the waxes you'll find at the local parts stores means this won't leave white all over the plastics and rubber. In fact, you could apply this to those things and it will wipe clear - though I recommend using other products to protect those things. It's a great all-around wax and though its initial expense can be considered "expensive" A single jar of this will do ~20 vehicles and its shelf life is forever - unlike the liquid waxes which seem to turn to slime & oil if it sits around for very long. It's hard for me to know exactly how many cars a can will do because it gets picked up and used around the dealership constantly. Everyone likes how easy it is to use!

Completely dried out, flaky crumbling pieces fell out along with the entire content of the container. This is one of the best wax you can get but I guess it has a shelf life. What surprises me the most is for this price you would think it would come in a sealed Packaging to keep it from drying out. Maybe you will have better luck but I returned mine. Update! called customer support never called me back. I have some pictures that I wanted to show what the tub of wax look like when I took it out of the box. The tub is a two-piece that came unglued somehow. I guess they use a two-piece tub to make it look like you're getting more other than that I'm not sure why. It was stored in the box upside down and when I pulled it out it separated. The wax inside was rattling and when I opened it up I just fell apart. If I didn't catch it it would have fallen onto the floor. I put it all on a black microfiber towel basically to show you what I received. I wish they would have contacted me to find out why this being my second one are coming like this. It's a great wax but you just can't use it like this.

I have used the concours p21s and thought it was well worth the money, but was skeptical of this being that much better. I decided for the twenty dollar difference to just go ahead and give it a try. This wax compared to the concours has a noticable difference in thickness when spreading, but was just as simple to remove. Another review said difficult to remove, don't let that review discourage you as it almost did me. You have to apply to a cool surface in the shade as with about any wax. This wax comes off with ease and did not use a machine to bring out a deep gloss and shine. As far as the shine compared to the concours, I feel there is a slight difference in depth of shine but it definitely has a heavier coating of wax that seems more durable, for me the twenty dollar difference is worth it. I also had no problems with residue on black trim, but not all rubber or plastic trims are the same. All in all this for me is a great wax that applies and removes with ease and leaves a deep glossy shine.

Let me start off with saying that I am using this wax for waxing pinball machine playfields. It does hold up better than other waxes that I have used. Lasted longer than other pinball waxes. Finish still looks as good as just applying (been over 6 months). It applies nice and easy, a little goes a long way. The included applicator is okay, but didn’t work for my needs. I am removing 1 star as the container case separated. It does not affect the proper closing of the product.

High gloss no hidrophobic....good quality but it came opend jar

I'm NOT using this for my car, as most would. I needed a very high quality carnuba wax to polish chrome in the bathroom (shower head, handles, spout, and sink faucet). When installing the plumbing for my sink, the manufacturer (Kingston Brass) for my faucet recommended in the instructions polishing the chrome every few weeks with carnuba wax to keep the chrome in good shape ( protect the finish from stuff in your water, and general wear and tear). Not only that, things really shine anyway with a good waxing. A few months back, I tried using the bar form of carnuba wax, and found that to be a completely impossible task (working in tight spaces with the bar form was just not a doable task, nomatter how I did it ( using a rag and rubbing some off on the rag and then onto fixures was no good). I wanted something that was really pure carnuba wax, but easy to use that wouldn't damage my chrome in the longrun (prettymuch all waxes have other stuff in it, which concerns me) . This stuff is really simple to use (and pure). Using the included polishing sponge thing - just rub it around in the wax, and it melts a bit and picks up on the sponge. Then, coat my chrome fixtures with it, and wipe clean after a few minutes. Couldn't be easier. This is a great product (although pretty darn expensive). But, I would expect that I can use this forever, as I don't need that much of it. So, it's worth the money to me.

I think this is possibly the best wax ever sold in the history of mankind. Unlike almost any other carnauba wax sold today, this wax is extremely easy to apply and even easier to take off. It provides such a deep shine. And above all it provides unparalleled protection. I used it on my 2012 VW Golf TDI which was not garaged but washed once a week, sometimes every two weeks, and 6 months later it is still on there protecting the paint. I am amazed that it’s still on there. But I’m not the only one impressed by this wax. I took my car to my local body shop to get some work done and I gave them this wax to use instead of their own, and the detailers fell in love with it. They couldn’t believe how easy it was to apply AND take off. Most pure carnauba waxes cannot be left to haze, not unless you want to spend a few weeks trying to get it off. With this wax that doesn’t happen. You can let it haze and it still remains one of the easiest waxes to remove. I love this wax and so will you.

Quite good product delivering a deep and wet finish.
