P21S, S100, Lusso Oro.

Some say the P21S and S100 to be the same wax, Im not sure. Ive used S100 with great results and would recommend it. It seems to bead the water better than Lusso Oro but doesn't have quite the shine. Not to mention the fantastic scent of Lusso Oro...

P21S 100% Carnauba (see Todd Helme's review; easy to apply and remove)

Lusso Oro (always seems to get good reports, both here and elsewhere; comparable in looks, folks say, to Pinnacle Souveran but more durable and much less expensive)

Collinite 915 (see Dave McLean's Great Wax Test--one of the most durable carnaubas around--excellent value)

Victoria Concours Red (many folks rate this as an elite wax, despite its relative low cost)

Meguiar's HiTech Yellow Wax (M26) (perhaps the best per ounce wax value around; looks great especially on dark-colored cars)

Collinite 845 (Collinite durability, easy to apply and remove, inexpensive)

P21S 100% - One of the best looking carnaubas around. Extremely easy to apply and remove.

Menzerna FMJ - One of the best looking sealants around. Also very easy to apply and remove

Collinite 476S - One of the most durable waxes, period. Fairly easy to apply and remove, as long as you apply it THIN

Chemical Guys' Jetseal 109 (sealant). Detailed Image is running a sale on it right now. Looks great, long lasting, and brain-dead easy to apply and remove.

Well considering he asked for something to be applied AND removed by machine.

1Z GlanzWax (cons: not the best shine. pros:good durability, ease of use)

Meguiar's #26 (never used it, but heard good reviews)

Collinite 845 (cons: can be a little messy. pros: a little goes a long way, ease of use)

Optimum Spray Wax is great and very easy to use. Pretty much, spray on, wipe off. Might save you some time. Nice shine, and very slick. Has UV protection, and can last a couple of months.

I did a comparison between S100 and P21S. They are pretty much identical. I would say buy the S1oo, and save some money.

Lusso, I really haven't been big on. Used it once or twice, but it never made an impact on me.

i like lusso oro, and p21s and s100 are said to be extremely similar. p21s 100% however is supposed to be much nicer.

supernatural comes in a machine stick. the formula was slightly changed for this to happen but i'm sure it's very good, though is more expensive than the rest: http://www.dodojuiceusa.com/store/index.ph...od&productId=32

a sealant might be the way to go. something as cheap as meg's nxt2.0 liquid wax is nice and is easy on/off, and collinite as mentioned has outstanding durability though is tougher to remove.

jetseal109 was mentioned and i've yet to use anything that's easier on/off. as with other liquid sealants, it's easy to spread thin and more machine friendly than pastes. problem is that it's a little more pricey.

have also heard nice things about the 1z sealant, but have no experience with it

This is great stuff--easy to apply and fairly durable for a spray wax
