I have used P21s but not the 100%, I have also used SV Concorso and Zymol Atlantique. IMO I would say the Red Wax looks better than P21s but when it comes to the Concorso and Atlantique, it very much depends on personal preference. The reason I said that is because I have used these products on the same repeat customers' cars, some prefer the look of Red Wax and others like the Concorso or Atlantique. Personally I believe you will not regret getting the Red Wax and if you are still not sure, you can try out the 3oz size, at least damage not that big .

Got to agree with you on that, if the bumper is painted black it should look even more impressive.

I have been using the RMG mix with 106FF and IP for quite a while already but the idea did not come from me, if I am not wrong it came from Scottwax. The mix does reduce dusting and make the working time slightly longer but mainly is becasue I notice an improve in depth after adding RMG to either 106FF or IP. In fact right now I am trying to use the Pink Moose instead of RMG in the mix, hopefully it can help to improve the shine as well with Pink Moose.

The detail to that car is off the charts!

The drop the Gti is basically PERFECT.

Once again, awesome job bud.
