I own a large, piano black SUV that is a pain to keep clean. Everything on a black car shows, and every small ding creates a white dot. Also, I live in the South were it rains constantly and I go through a few bottles of RainX a year. I wanted something to keep the dirt, bugs, and rain spots off of my car. This oddly named clear coat wax seems to be a favorite among car collectors. My Mariner is no muscle car, but if I'm going to spend money on wax, I might as well make it look like a fancy car.
PROS:
- super buttery texture, just melts onto the sponge (I'm a petite girl, so not much arm muscle to work with here!)
- quite a large jar full
- comes with an applicant sponge
- didn't have an allergic reaction to it (no need for gloves, it washes off fine)
- extremely shiny, glossy, and gives that "wet" look
- goes on top of black wax without pulling off undercoats
- you can use a power buffer on it (but I buff by hand in the direction of the car's aerodynamics...you never know if it helps)
- doesn't damage black moldings (you can wipe some Back to Black over it anyway)
- dries clear, not white
- if you're new to this, you can completely "screw up" waxing your car with thus stuff and it won't matter
CONS:
- not really sure if it comes out of clothes (use stuff you don't care about)
- you might have to do 2 layers on a black car to really make it look good
- wears off quick (about 2-3 weeks with rain and highway travel, it's kind of a soft wax)
- careful holding the product (my warm hands melted edges of the wax in the container and it almost slid out)
- pretty expensive, but you'll get about 10-15 rounds depending on the size of your car (good luck on an SUV)
OVERALL:
It's a great product and I'll definitely buy it again. Since it's so expensive, I'll save it as more of a "flashy show-off" treat than a maintenance wax. I'll stick with Turtle's Black Box kit for my SUV to really pull out the black colors, hide the white chips/scratches, and to protect the car against rain, sun, dirt, bugs, etc. But when the weather is nice and I feel like driving around a purdy car, I'll top coat it with this P21S to really catch the light. Easy to use and looks great.
