which topper and why?

Strange name, ain't it?
Given the choice between OG Blitz, Megs #26 and P21s Carnuba which would you use as a topper for Klasse SG (non-garaged red vehicle)? Why?
 
Does anyone else have the streaking and blotching problem with Blitz? After applying it (over 5 layers of cured Klasse SG) and buffing it out to a brilliant perfect shine the sun and heat seems to melt it and it blotches and streaks a bit. A QD or a buff takes care of it. It is also not all that noticable but I'm pretty picky.
 
Natty, those are the exact three waxes I'm currently using on my car. I'm not using them as a Klasse topper, but of the three waxes, I really like P21S and Blitz, but for different reasons.



As Brad said, Blitz provides a nice, deep warm shine. Of the three waxes, it provides the most depth and has the best durability. It takes a little more effort to use this wax than P21S.



As for P21S, I really like this wax also because it is so easy to use and is very trim-friendly. While it doesn't have the same amount of depth as Blitz, it does provide a very glossy, reflective shine....almost like Pinnacle Paste Glaze.



So your decision would probably depend on which of these characteristics appeal to you more.



Av, I haven't noticed this with Blitz... Sometimes I get a little streaking here and there with both Blitz and P21S. Not sure if it's the wax or QD though because it seems to happen even on non-waxing days.
 
Natty,



Wow, that's a tough choice! Not much doubt that the Blitz is longest lasting carnauba wax out there. It has great depth and shine. The P21S might get a slight edge when it comes to gloss and reflectivity. Although, that's just a personal observation.



Why not really go crazy and top the Klasse with the Blitz, and then top the Blitz with the P21S. :D



Good luck with whatever you decide.
 
Thanks gang for the replys:up . That is a tough call, i.e. depth and warmth vs. reflectivity and and ease of use. Longevity is important but since I wax every month I would think either one would make it that long. Also, the trim friendly part of P21s is a nice feature...I seem to have weird, ale induced spasms everytime I spend a few hours cleaning and waxing one of our vehicles. I always end up cleaning wax residue off the trim and weathstripping.



I have an idea, anyone want to trade some Blitz or P21s for a nearly full Megs #26 and 1/2 full #7 Show Car Glaze :D ?



Something tells me I'm going to end up buying both to see the difference myself. Thanks White_F150 for planting that seed in my head :) .



Thanks again folks :wavey
 
I don't have experience with Blitz, and I haven't used #26 for quite a while, but I got a can of S100 "Motorcycle" Wax from CMA with my last order. From what I can gather, S100 is very similar (if not identical) in formulation to P21S, and is priced at $14.95 for the same-sized container (P21S is about $10 more). I haven't used carnuba in years, and this stuff was a real joy . . . on and off like butter, no need to wait for it to haze, and no stains on the trim. I can't really compare it to anything else, but the "warm glow" is quite nice, and ease-of-use is great.



Good stuff! :up

Natty,



Sorry buddy, but I think Intermezzo beat me to the punch on that suggestion of P21S over Blitz!



I've got another suggestion, why not just go to Zaino and you won't have to worry about all this topper stuff! :nixweiss :D



We sure are making it easy for you, aren't we! ;)
 
Now I'm not topping on a polymer, but I have put Meguiars #26 side by side with P21S. It is on top of 3M Perfet-It Show Car Wax.



Meguiars #26 was harder to apply and remove, but had good depth shine.



P21S seemed to have more clarity.



I'm trying to apply a polymer (blackfire) next fall. Is it common to top with Carnauba wax?
