AJUSA carries many of the same products, shipping is cheaper (I checked) and frequently run 10% off sales. Never used the Klasse but the P21S paintwork cleanser before the carnuba works great.

Hey Rog, have you ever used that carnuba wax before?
Sorry about the slow reply, I should've marked this one  I've used caranuba, still do! Caranuba will give you a much better shine IMO and will last longer if its the "right stuff", like your P21S. I'm going to be trying the Klasse pretty soon, its acrylic and haven't used it before. The Griots caranuba paste is 33% caranuba, the "Best of Show" is 23% and I was told that Mequiars Medallion is 9%. I've had sucess with everything that I've ever used, but right now, I'm made the switch to Griots

If you're ever up this way again, be sure to look me up, I'd love to do a "Brand A" vs. "Brand B" challenge...
I did a bit of research on a few different sites and I guess wax differs, but since nobodys tried them all...though you've probably come the closest....theres really no way to tell.
But the Klasse Polish seems to be the winner across the board when it comes to polish, like I said I'm super duperty pleased with the results.

So did I. AIO is actually being advertised as having a sealing compound as well, that's - accroding to the manufacturer - the meaning of "All-In-One" 
However I doubt it. In my experience AIO doesn't really seal the polish, RejeX does a bit but also not so great. Meguair's Yellow Wax does an even worse job...

I just used some of that this past weekend. Its been over 2 years since I've used my old friend #26. I like it, but compared to what I've been using, theres NO turning back. The one Meguiars product that I would use again is the NXT, no doubt about it Then again, with Griots Paint Sealant, why use that. I'm going to get the Klasse AIO and sealant though, for sure, gotta check that out!

After all I read over at Autopia-carcare.com AIO is supposed to be followed by a good sealant.
Rog, as far as i read from the people that rated the various waxes, NXT and P21S were pretty close, but the durability and long lastingness is what hooked me.
Those pics up top arent of a freshly waxed car. The first set with my car was a day or two afterwards, and only garaged one night at Kevins house because of lack of licence plates.
Maybe next time I'm up in your neck of the woods I would love to see what Griots can do, but right now I'm hooked on the P21S...

I bet P21S lasts longer than NXT because IIRC, the P21S is caranuba and it generally lasts longer I'm looking forward to getting/trying the Klasse, should be ordering it in the next week or so, even though the Crossfire will be going into storeage, this is where the "coating" really begins
