Freshly waxed

Washed and waxed using P21S 100% carnauba wax. Probably the easiest wax I've ever used. It's basically wipe on and wipe off, no need to let it dry to a haze. We'll see how durable it is but definitely gives a deep shine

Washed


Waxed

I've used P21S carnuba on many of my vehicles, it's an amazing product!

Car looks great!

thank you, it really is a super easy wax. Waxed the entire car, including set up and clean up, in about 2 hours. I used to use Zaino on my M3 and that was a 5 hour job each time. Wipe on and wipe off with P21S is really super easy

Thank you!
the car cover is the OEM porsche turbo indoor car cover. I believe there are 2 variations that porsche offers, this one has a super soft inner felt lining. You can get it from any porsche dealer and I've also seen them onine and on ebay. make sure you order this model number: 997 044 000 06

PS:
Don't pay retail price, you can negotiate $80-$100 off the price quoted in the official porsche link I provided

thanks! really like how easy this wax is to apply. and yes that's the model cover I bought.

BTW just an FYI for those curious, even with an indoor cover only use it on a freshly washed car. I never put a cover on a car that's been driven, parked outside or if it's been sitting in the garage for several days uncovered. Using a car cover on a dusty (even slightly dusty) car is an excellent way of introducing marring and blemishes in your finish.

LOL!, you need to get really excited before you put it on, otherwise it keeps slipping off

Great job - looks beautiful but are your sure it is 100% carnauba? The price must be ridiculous if 100%. Zymol vintage is 61% and cost about 2,100.00

I use P21S as well. Brilliant shine and, as you've stated, very easy to apply and remove. Unfortunately, it doesn't stick around very long. But since it's so easy it doesn't really matter.

100% does not refer to percent content but rather that the wax used in this product is 100% Brazilian Carnauba. No other raw waxes are used (Candelilla, Beeswax, Montan, mineral waxes, etc.). You'll get anywhere from 4 weeks on the low end to 7-8 weeks on the high end of the durability scale based on exposure to the elements.
