P21S
"I still prefer the depth of color and clearness that you get with a natural white carnauba wax. "
That does it for me..and I'm just an 'old school' guy who's waxed his share of cars over the past 35 years.
I just bought P21S and find it very easy to use and am happy with the results.
Ciao

Arling: Orange peel is not a good thing and has nothing to do with the depth (either quantity or appearance) of paint on your car. In fact, orange peel is an imperfection in your paint (acceptable in mass produced cars) and distorts a paint's true beauty. For that "wet" look with great depth, you want to reduce orange peel. All true "concours" cars have been color sanded to eliminate virtually all orange peel.
With respect to the natural carnuba wax vs synthetic polymer product debate, some say that synthetics (which offer great longevity) result in a more "plasticy/fake" shine with less depth as compared to a high quality carnuba wax. This debate reminds me of the "tube" equipment preference of audiophiles -- tube/analog equipment supposedly has a more natural/softer sound than digital/transistorized equipment. I've tried so many different products (wax, polishes, glazes, etc) over the last 20 years looking for that magic bullet and really haven't found any miracle product. There are lots of quality products that can make a car look great, but in the last analysis, it's all in the prep/detail work. Just my 2 cents and probably worth less.

i know u're really the pro on this!
the reason why i like orange peel is not the look but rather knowing the car has not been polished or color sanded. i need to be the first one to do it... hope i get the point straight.
