Default has anyone here used P21S Concours Look Carnauba Wax?

After finding out that Meguiars Gold Class contains silicon and is a dust magnet, I browsed carcareonline and found this:<p>P21S CONCOURS LOOK CARNAUBA WAX<p>A GREAT new Carnauba based paste wax that offers arguably the<br>deepest shine on the market. Contains no unnecessary dyes, perfumes<br>or colorants. Does not chalk or leave white stains on rubber, plastics<br>or matt finish paints. Wax a small section and immediately buff out, do<br>not allow to dry. The depth of shine on clear and non-clear coat<br>finishes is unmatched. (Our favorite wax for a "garage queen").<p>I'm not sure what a 'garage queen' is, but the stuff is less than $20 and their wheel cleaner is great. What do you guys think?

&quot;Garage queen&quot; = car that spends more time in the grage than on the road

Default Here's what I think...

I think you should try the Mothers California Gold Wax (or Meguiar's Yellow #26). They are both better waxes, and can usually be found at parts stores.<p>Mike

Default Here's my 2 cents...

What you wrote is exactly how Zymol is supposed to be put on. The reason that they both ask you to buff it out right away, and the reason why it doesn't matter if you get it on your trim is that they both have much higher concentrations of Carnauba wax than any other wax on the market.<p>Meguiars, Eagle One, Mothers, etc. are all paraffin based, and simply put, cannot look better than real carnauba, and nor can they last longer. Even if they have any carnauba, it's more like 5-6%, not the 25%+ of Zymol and P21S. In a word, they suck, and you get what you pay for. Anyone who tells you any different is either ignorant or lying. Zymol makes a concours wax that is 50%+ carnauba content, and it sells for $200 for a 4 ounce jar! But, it won Pebble Beach more than any other wax. Meguiars, Mothers, etc. are fine for common folk who either don't know better or don't care - let them keep thinking what they want.<p>Paul
