How often are you reapplying? I am used to using sealants (Wolfgang) and am thinking of trying out some of this P21S that everyone raves about! Now I am used to sealing twice yearly, and laying Mequires wax over the sealant every 4 months. TIA!!!

I wax my car about once every two or three months. I’m not sure my car “needs” a wax every two or three months but I enjoy doing it. (I might even wax more often if I get bored.

)

I use Zymöl Porsche Glasur Glaze Wax and touch it up with Zymöl spray or Duragloss spray. (Duragloss is a North Carolina product that might not be that easy to find but I think it’s excellent.)

P21S is also very good. I use it on my motorcycles.

PS21 absolutely rocks. I am a walking commercial for this product. The only downside is that I may miss out on something better because I am so sold on this product. Everywhere I go people ask me what I am using. As i use up my other stuff I intend to try everything that they make.

do you just wash your car and apply the P21S or do you use some sort of polish first and then apply the P21S? Thanks

I use it alot, on average twice a month. Since I use it so often, the finish stays in top shape and there's no reason to use anything before hand.

P21S do a paintwork cleanser as well. You wash the car as normal and then use the paintwork cleanser to chemically cleanse the paintwork. Then apply the P21S Carnauba Wax.

Carnauba wax bead water, so you can easily tell when to re-wax.

A routine that has given me good outcome: P21S Paint & Bodywork Cleanser prewax--surface comes out smooth, free of embedded grit or micro scratches. Then P21S Carnauba Wax. In between waxes (and immediately after washing, btw P21S Bodywork Shampoo is great) Sonus Carnauba Spritz maintains nice high gloss.

See attached photo of results.

Nothing like stepping back when it's done and enjoying a gleaming car!

Yes I realize that! My question remains-how long is this product lasting for everyone else? I have put on 2 coats and after 2 weeks the water is already showing signs of not beading as well. If I am going to have to reapply this product every 3 weeks, that is just not worth it as I really haven't seen anything in this product that would make me switch from Wolfgang.
