PwC as 1-step: Durability?

[imported_smprince1]

I currently use PwC as part of a multi-step, something like SSRx/PwC/EX. I love it used this way for my own vehicles and close friends. I am also a neighborhood weekend warrior for cash, and some people can only be convinced to do a wash/1-step wax (BTW, these are the same people that think I am nuts to detail my vehicle all the time).



For a 1-step wash and wax for cash, I was thinking PwC or Mothers Cleaner Wax. Mothers is cheap and readily available, and does a pretty good job as a 1-step. However, I think PwC was also designed as a 1-step, and I already own it as part of my full regiment.



I know this is very subjective and is affected by many factors, but how long could one reasonably expect PwC to last as a 1-step? Longer/shorter than Mothers? Any other factors to consider?



As always, thanks for your replies and opinions.

I like the Zymol cleaner wax as a cheap one-step product. It usually beads up for 2-3 months in the summer for me. Of course, the local availability and relatively low price add to the appeal.

According to Steve, PWC is an excellent one-step product. I believe he once said it should last about 3 months.
