P21S vs Blitz Wax

Blitz may last a little longer, but I prefer the looks of P21S. The dust attraction isn't as bad with P21S as with Blitz as well.
 
Shine wise on my light blue care appearnace wise no real difference, p21s just has the edge, slighly wetter looking. All in the ease of application and removal, with no cure time p21s wins for me.
 
I used Blitz for years, until I found this place. It was easy to apply and remove. You could apply it to your whole car at once and then remove it later, either 10 minutes later or hours later, it didn't matter. Blitz gave an excellent shine and lasted about as long as any carnauba wax does.



Now here's what I didn't like about it. If you don't apply it very thinly, it creates a lot of dust residue when you remove it. Even if you do apply it thinly, you still get more dusting than with S100 or Souveran. If you wax your car right after you've washed it and there's any water residue left, like what comes out from your tail lights or side moldings, and your buffing cloth gets damp, your cloth grabs like crazy. Blitz also has a tendency to attract dust. When I used Blitz, I didn't realize it was the wax contributing to the excess dust, I just thought it was normal. When I switched to S100, the problem with the excess dust went away. Lastly, Blitz stains your trim. I didn't notice this on either of my cars and actually thought Blitz was a non-staining wax. That was until people pointed out that I was wrong. When I actually inspected my cars I noticed that I didn't have any black trim on them.



I bought S100 last summer, which is the same as P21S. It doesn't have any of the downsides that Blitz exhibited. It applies and removes even easier than Blitz did. Because it doesn't require any curing time, you apply it to a panel and wipe it off, it takes less time to wax your car. If you have a Harley shop nearby you can get S100 locally. You may also find it at a Honda/Kawasaki, etc motorcycle dealer; at least my local dealer carries it.



When I used Blitz, I thought it was a great wax. The problems I listed, in reality, weren’t that big of a deal. In fact after a while I just ignored them and didn't give them any thought. It was only after finding Autopia that I started to notice those problems and tried S100. Will I ever use Blitz again? Probably not, I've got a new, unopened tin sitting on a shelf as a memorial to my pre-Autopia days. If you've already bought some Blitz, use it and you'll be happy with the results. If you haven't bought any Blitz, pickup some S100/P21S and you may never need to search for another wax, ever. :xyxthumbs
 
I use blitz when i have time to wait for it to cure and when its nice and warm, not very often over here in the uk! When i do use it i always tend to top it the day after with p21s!



Never had any problems with dust or residue from p21s, do notice a small amount in side door shuts and handles with blitz howewver thin its applied, the same is true however form autoglym extra gloss, and resin, dr chemie wack speed wax, which all leave alot more residue than blitz has ever done.



The depth and shine a subtley different between the p21s and blitz, the blitz tends to make the colour look deeper, where as the P21s makes it look wetter, shinier and the shine look deeper.



I actally prefer a coat of blitz topped with a coat of p21s to two coats of p21s.
 
Not those kinds of fillers. I mean like the swirl fillers. Basicly the stuff that causes the dust. I was told once upon a time ago that the waxes that cause the dust are the ones with the swirl fillers in them. They are the ones that stain the trim too. That's why you could wax over your trim with PPG or Souveran or P21S and not have a problem. Definatly correct me if I'm wrong on that. Maybe the word 'filler' isn't the right one to use.

Yes! I have a metallic blue-green car and Blitz is wicked looking. P21S is super easy to use, but it's not like Blitz is tricky...
 
Must admit, never thought about autoglym is obvious it is white so its bound to. Hardly got any black plastic on my current car so its not really an issue!
 
I didnt have any problem with staining of trim (I was doing this quick but carefully).



I did have a problem with residue being left in lots and lots of hard to reach places which has really put me off it.



I'm pretty sure at the time I applied it too thick and at the time it was fairly cold, thus I had moderate difficulty removing it (ie grabbing and more pressure needed).



I am hopefully getting P21S this month and I may do a side by side test on my red accord. I know it has probably been done to death but I thought it might still be worth a look for the fun of it :xyxthumbs

Well, that just goes to show that it must be something else in these waxes that stain the trim. I always thought it was the swirl fillers. Guess not. :xyxthumbs Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I may be way off here, but I believe that products with a high content of certain solvents are the culprit for staining trim . . . but I'm a computer geek, no chemist. The products I've tried that don't stain trim (BF2, Zaino, S100) don't have a heavy chemical smell, while products I've used that do stain trim (NuFinish, Liquid Glass, certain caraubas over the years) usually have a big solvent aroma to them.



Take all that with a grain of salt or three, because I'm speculating. Anyone have a definitive answer?



ObOnTopic: Sorry I can't compare Blitz to P21S directly (haven't used Blitz), but one more :up for S100/P21S: extremely easy to use, great results, no staining, reasonable price.

I have found that Blitz trim staining dissipates after the

continuous of Blitz. After a few months or so. After this

initial period I have had no more staining. Don't know why!



Anyone else find this to be true?



Also found that if you lower the dry time to about 10

minutes or so the dust factor gets minimized substantially.

Taking into account temp, humidity, sunlight, etc..
 
Don't kick yourself just yet , P21S is a great wax , however so is Blitz I have used it for years you'll be happy with the results on your red truck. Word of caution keep it away from trim as it willl stain , not really a big deal if you are aware of it before hand , I mask all the trim any way so it's no biggy for me.
