I have been using Zaino for a while now and i love it. I am now reading alot about this s100 and p21s...... I am wondering what this stuff is and what i would need to buy to try it out. How does it go on? Also, is it ok to mix use with zaino? i would really appreciate the help, thanks alot!

S-100 is an aerosol spray detail wax (carnuba based). It is designed for use in between waxings on motorcycles primarily. I found it at a Harley dealership, any good bike dealership should have it. I have used it over the top of zaino with great results. It may not go on as easy as z-6 spray (more rubbing and buffing than z-6), but for me it seems to clean the surface somewhat more than z-6, plus make it shine. I use it after about every 3rd washing or so on my wife's dark blue accord. My s is spa yellow and I use s-100 paste wax with s100 spray detail wax on it. I plan to use zaino when the s100 paste runs out, but s100 is excellent wax. Hope that helps

i use p21s- it is a carnuba paste wax- over zaino. this is not recommended by zaino, but i get great results and am not likely to change...
do not mix with zaino as they are different types of products (one is pure wax and the other synthetic).
i z2 the car, buff it and then apply the p21s.
they are applied completely differently too. the zaino is applied and then left on to cure a bit. the p21s is applied to a small section and immediately removed.
i also use different detailers sprays in between washes (both z-6 and sometimes a carnuba based spray). no preference here either. they have different qualities.
my advice- try the zaino alone once. then next time try the sandwiching. and let me know your thoughts!

z-5 can be used in place of z-2... it is a swirl cover (not a swirl remover)- otherwise pretty similar to z-2

What i meant was, can i apply z2, then z5 and then the ps1s or s100.

reggi-
yes or you can use z5 instead of z2

Generally, I think carnouba waxes tend to hide swirl marks themselves, so you might not need to use Z5. Anyone want to confirm if these waxes do that? Z5 sort of fills this void (so to speak ) for the synthetic finish world.
