How long will a Jar of P21s Last?

[BradUF]

I love the way this looks on my Camaro and how it beads but it costs a ton. Also it only lasts about 1 month correct? So If I apply this everything month, how long will 1 jar last?

Go to your local Harley dealer and get a jar of S100, less than $20 and essentially the same product. Durability isn't too bad, 8-12 weeks depending on enviromental conditions and wash techniques. 1 jar should be enough to wax a Camaro at least 35 times.

I guess S100 is market as motorcycle wax or something?

Yes but it is great on cars too. Very clear and reflective looking.

maybe your putting too much on?? i hardly seem to use any when putting it on my car, i'll probably get tired of using it before its used up

 

[BradUF]

They are both made by the same company? Why does one cost so much more then then the other?

Yeah, S100 products are pretty much the same as P21S, they are marketed at a less "spendy" crowd (bikers as opposed to high end car owners), so the prices are less on them. The jar should last a long, long time if applied properly, I went through 2 full jars or so of paste wax last season and I detailed around 50 vehicles, mostly trucks and SUVs.

One jar should get you about 11 to 12 passes (moderate doses) on a camaro. Good luck, it is a great wax!

Seriously? I get triple that per jar. At least.



I know you are well experienced using carnaubas but I bet you can cut way back on how much you apply.

I have waxed my Honda van with it at least 5 times and there is just a small dent in the wax.

I use very little of my P21s, I figure it'll last quite a long time at the rate I'm using it. Great stuff, my application lasted around 6-8 weeks. I found it goes on so easy, found it easier to apply than Nattys Blue.

 

[Datsun]

how do you apply? By hand or by pc? Also what company makes it?

 

[Ben Kenobi]

I apply it with a foam pad, very thinly. It's made by P21s in Germany.

 

[Dtail]

It takes me more than a year to go through a can of s100 and I apply wax frequently.

 

[imported_steveo3002]

guys ive noticed mine gona a little flakey around the edge of the tub....could i heat it a little to melt it back into one lump

 

[imported_themightytimmah]

Yeah, just put the jar in warm/hot water. Don't use direct heat.

So far I have 1/2 left can and I did like 20ish cars. I bought this 2 years ago. Great sh!t, ez on ez off :chuckle:

Sorry for hi jacking the thread. But somehow I doubt that P21s is made in Germany. Why I doubt? I can´t find it in Germany. Think it´s like Menzerna FMJ. Not made in Germany, only for the US.

Thanks Scott. Actually I won't use the container to the very bottom, as I'll leave a quarter of it left over. Believe it or not, this also comes from using it sparingly! If I stretched it really far then I'd say about 16 useful passes on either of my cars from experience!
