Also, Menz IP was used on one Vette and SIP on another. What was the theory in using different polishes?
Similar to above, why was Concorso used on one and Vintage on the other two?
How long does Concorso and Vintage last? If not very long, are these cars you care for with some regularity and can touch up the waxes?
Do you like P21S Paintwork Cleanser better than Swissvax's and Zymol's own paint cleaners? Does P21S work well with pretty much all Carnaubas?
Thanks for all your help.

Good questions, here are the answers.
1) I used Citrus Wash & Gloss because Tyler wasn't there yet, and I tend to wash traditionally in the summer when possible. I like getting wet!
None of them were particularly dirty.
2) SIP and the first vette (the black one) don't get along well. You may have already read about "sticky" paint, or paint that seems to pull your rotary when you use SIP (and to a lesser extend 106ff/8rd) on them. I knew this about the black vette but forgot, tried SIP on one panel and remembered; then switched to IP.
3) Tyler hadn't used Concorso and as we got conversing I said "well let's use it on this car then", so we did. That simple!
4) Neither lasts as long as a sealant, I've seen up to 3 months with Vintage on garaged cars, similar with Concorso. The Stingray is a garage queen, the other two are driven but not a lot anymore. I'll probably see at least two of them again this summer. At least two of the owners like to wax their own cars too, and I think the third may join them.
5) Yes and yes. Easier to use, similar effect, cheaper. I've been using P21S GEPC for a long time and prefer it to most of the other prewaxes I've used. Cleaner Fluid is ok, Blackfires new one is ok, HD cleanse is blah...imo of course.
