I use the cleaner and the wax. The applicator pad is smooth enough for paint.
I like the results with the wax, even though it's not as long lasting as
some of the synthetic waxes.

The P21S wax is very nice for a carnuaba based product. It goes on very easy and leaves no white residual on the trim or plastic bits. I just bought some of their paint cleaner to use before I clay (assuming it every warms-up again). I think you will find that, as cristo said, it does not last as long as the new synthetics like Prima Epic.

I got the five-liter container of the P21S Gel Wheel Cleaner ($93), and while I like it, it doesn't seem to work any better than the Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaner that sells for $29 per gallon.

Maybe it's because I haven't had to clean any really nasty wheels with the Griot's that I can't tell a difference between the two products.

I use the P21S carnauba & I love it. I use a MF applicator pad to apply it not the pad that came with it. 2 times a year when I do a full detail job I apply Klasse All-in-One & then top it off with the P21S for an amazing shine. The P21S is so easy to apply that I add a fresh coat of it every 2 months. My Mini stays so shiney & water beads like crazy so I feel I am well protected.

I use the wash soap and wheel cleaner and really like them. All of their products are very good in my experience. The only reason I don't use the wax is becuase I prefer synthetic (Klasse).
