I use S-100 (EXACTLY the same as P21S) and am very satisfied with the results. It lasts a very long time, and VERY easy to apply(reminds me of Crisco, I use microfiber to remove BTW). I bought mine for $14 at Iron Pony here in Columbus. I used it on the Contour and now on the Escape and still have plenty left. I use the S-100 cleanser($8) before applying the wax, but after using the clay bar.

Well guys...ars all prettied up. I'd hate to say it, but I think I'm sticking with the p21s carnuba wax from now on. the NXT shine sure comes close, but the carnuba takes the cake. Plus according to the poll over at www.autopia-carcare.com the durability is muh better than NXT.
This is a deep shine that is vwery highly reflective. The P21S believe it or not is easier to remove than NXT in my honest opinion. I'm sold. Pics to come shortly as soon as Hector and Kevin get home and upload them.
Steve was nice enough to let me use some of his stuff and man what a differnce.

Thanks Kev for posting the pics...i'm sold on this stuff. The red Tour sat through a Chicago winter broke down on the street outside of my house, then sat in Stazis garage for awhile. I'm amazed at how clean it came out. It's so shiny and purty!!!

Kev, I've been saying for years for you to try something "better"!  Good to see you guys are seeing the results from some of the other (high end) products out there. Cars look really good.

Actually we've been hooked on NXT for some time now. I'll be honest the $30 price tag on the carnuba wax was a bit of a turn off at first. But it goes on so much lighter then NXT paste that after three coats (two on mine one on Kev's) it seems we have enough left for years to come.
Something that did catch me off guard was with te Klasse All In One Polish, it needs to be applied with a DAMP applicator.
After a couple days I took my baby to the car wash. Gave her a good wash and oh my God it's so sexy. I applied another coat of NXT to the Griseldas focus while I was there but theres no comparision. NXT just doesnt have the reflective properties that the P21S carnuba wax has...
I believe Kevin also has a story about the Klasse, but I'll let him tell it.

Do you think with my color this wax would produce enough of a difference that it would be worth the investment? It says " P21S adds the depth and liquid shimmer desired on black, red and other dark colored cars."

Heres my story i decide to see how well the klasse was and i did half my hood, As soon as i took it off i noticed a HUGE differnce.
Thought to myself its the lighting, so i pull the car out and have a look in the sun 
I tell you its was night and day differnce and that was with just the klasse 
Since im off friday im going to was and add another coat and head off to take some more pics,

Hmmmmmmmm...... 
Thats exactly what I was gonna do. I just put on the Meguiars carnuba wax and have a bottle of hte NXT I want to try. I read somewhere that carnuba is more durable or something too, and for a person like me who rarely gets to wax thats a good thing  I'm hoping doubling up will give me the durability and the beauty of the NXT shine... or something like that......I'm tired 
OK, it's been about a month and a half since that last coat of P21S....We also did Kevs SE and Hectors EVo with this stuff and it is awesome!!!!
NXT really bringsa out the color in paint, but if youre looking for a reflective shine, P21S is the way to go. I would love to see a Black car come and take the challenge, I bet it would be like looking in a mirror. Even Kevin ith his Navy Blue said his car looked "WET" two weeks after applying the P21S.
I did do the NXT after the P21S and it darkened the color of my car. I don't recomend this since it was a PITA to remove the NXT and it looks like I have some swirl marks on my hood. Not saying the mixing of the two waxes did it, but they werent there before.
Hector has posted some pics of the EVO over on http://www.chicagoceg.com in the pics and vid section. I was hoping he would have posted them here after the waing but no luck with that....
Here's where I piked up the Klasse Polish, Clay Bar and P21S wax us Chicago guys are using, and shipping was terrific...
