Since Zaino has been banished from the budget......>>
Why not just get a nice tub of Blitz Wax? Mod shack endorsed, cheap, and easy to apply! Results ain't bad either and it's Natural (none of that synthetic witchcraft stuff)....

I love the drying towel, bodywork shampoo, and wheel cleaner gel...
I've tried products from P21S, Zymol, Pinnacle, Meguiars, and I'm currently stuck on Griot's Garage products, but I still use my P21S drying towel (even over newer drying products I've purchased).
Of all of the product lines I've used, however, the Pinnacle stuff definitely smells the best. Mmmmm...banana.

ooooh can't banish Zaino completely... I can't survive without Z6
which i'm currently trying to do until i can order some. I just saw the great results someone was getting with the P21s and thought i might try it... but since you recommend it so highly i'll try the blitz stuff. how long does it last? is it caranuba?
To give you an idea of my errrr propensity for car cleaning supplies... my mom was with me the other day stopping in Pep Boys (Vinylex day) and she said "what could you possibly need to clean that car that you don't already have?" lol

Now that I've tried both Zaino and P21S, here's my suggestion . . .
I think I'll reorder P21S when my Zaino stock is depleted.
My first order from carcareonline in 2000:
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/15642/cleaning.jpg">
Here's the breakdown . . .
P21S BODYWORK CONDITIONING SHAMPOO--works great and smells like apples!;
P21S CONCOURS LOOK CARNAUBA WAX--shines as well or better than Zaino. Durability still up in the air, as I've had the Zaino on the car for only 1 month or so.
P21S GEL SPECIAL PERFORMANCE WHEEL CLEANER (or the standard non-concentrated cleaner)--though I don't need to use it much because regular washings prevent brake dust build up, this stuff is the only cleaner I'll use. PH neutral, so it won't etch the wheels!
P21S GLOSS ENHANCING PAINTWORK CLEANSER--I like this stuff as a prep before applying the wax. If you've used 3M Imperial Hand Glaze, think of this as a less aggressive, more easily removed product.
P21S SUPER-ABSORBING DRYING TOWEL--The best way to dry your car, period . . . end of story.
So, my suggestion is that you buy this to save a few $ (and buy the towel, too):

Another thing to consider is the S100 product line, which appears to be identical in many cases to the P21S line (with a few notable exceptions & additions), but at a MUCH lower price. For example:
S100 ($14.95/jar at Classic Motoring Accessories):

P21S ($24.95/jar at Classic Motoring Accessories):

I've been using P21S stuff for awhile now
and really love it. All you really need is the bodywork shampoo and wax. If you're looking for a very good polish their gloss enhancing polish/cleanser is excellent as well. I've got their wheel cleaner but honestly don't think too much of it. Maybe if you've got alot of brake dust built up it works well but if you keep after it it seems like overkill. Oh yeah, and their drying towel is superb as well.
I had been using Blitz wax(also carnuba based) and liked that as well. The P21S is easier to work with (IMO) and looks a bit better I think. Blitz is probably more durable tho.
Oh and I put another coat of P21S wax on this weekend an it really looks phenomenal at this point.<ul><li><a href="http://www.carcareonline.com/p21_box_kit_10450.html">Starter kit with most of their products included.</a></li></ul>
