S100 is great wax too! You can get it from the Harley dealer for not much money.

FYI, stay clear of macguire's gold class, it's crap. If you want to use macguire's, use the yellow carnuba.

If you need it tomorrow, buy Meguiars at your local auto parts store. Their 3-step -- cleaner, polish, carnuba -- waxes are actually very good, inexpensive and foolproof. If your car is newer, has clearcoat, and the finish is still very good, don't use your orbital -- there's no need. Instead, just apply and remove the wax by hand with soft terry cloths.

That being said I'd say Zaino is a great polymer... P21S (or S100) is one of the best carnauba waxes you can get. Zaino you buy from a local distributor or mail order. I buy most of my stuff from Properautocare.com. Might start using the Autopia-Carcare store to support David B.

If people here were reading autopia, they'd be recomending Blackfire 2 over Zaino just like I did. :)
