P21S / S100 wax is not new to the states. It's been around awhile. But it has not been widely distributed. It's most easily found at detailing oriented outlets, foreign car parts places which sell P21S wheel cleaner and Harley Davidson dealers.
Applying and or removing it with a PC is not needed IMO. There is no real effort. No elbow grease required! Seriously. Some waxes will wipe you out for the day if you do the car by hand. You might as well use a PC to apply / remove quick detailer if you think P21S / S100 needs application help for home use. I simply wipe on a couple square feet and immediately wipe off, starting at the point of origin. Then overlap and continue. No delays or hassles getting white stuff out of cracks or on trim. It doesn't leave any, none. Instant full maximum appearance effect. Moving right along to do the whole car, it's just a bit harder than a quick detail spray job.
It might last "only" two months, but that was second amongst natural waxes and fourth ranking amongst natural and synth.
You know what? Most folks judge a car's overall appearance from the appearance of the hood. First impressions matter immensely and the S2000 has a hell of a nice looking front end. So I often wash then add a 2 minute hood / fender top relayer. Quickies are fun!

>>>The only thing I didn't like is, along with almost every other cleaner/polish on the market, it claimed to hide the swirls and scratches but it didn't, plain and simple. <<<
3M Imperial Hand Glaze is a f a n t a s t i c swirl/scratch hider. Great for any remnants of fix-it efforts. By itself it looks great but only lasts a week or so. Needs a top off with natural wax. Another goodie is the S100 shine enhancing cleaner. I seem to prefer the 3M goop though.
