P21S 12350B Paintwork Cleanser Bottle, 350 ml

P21S makes great products. P21S paint cleaner is a super product to go around your paintwork to remove road grime and paint staining without using an abrasive product. Why use an abrasive product that will remove clearcoat if it's not necessary? This product also provides a nice shine and gloss.

To prep my car before using Color Chip Road Rash repair kit, I washed the car and then rubbed it down with P21S to strip the wax. I used my paint repair kit (which works great by the way), waited a week for the paint to cure and then decided to use P21S again to get a nice clean surface before using my new 3oz. can of grossly overpriced BACKFIRE BlackIce wax. I am absolutely amazed by the glass-like finish that the P21S produced; it removed every particle of dirt/grit from my paint/wax and provided the surface necessary for a flawless waxing and shine. If I hadn't bought it to prep for my paint project, I'd never would have bought it. But now...I will use this once a year to strip the grime from my wax/surface to get back to the base and put new wax on a clean surface. UPDATE 3/17: I used this again for a 2006 dark blue CRV I bought my son, great shape but paint needed a refresh. I read this is NOT for machine application, but I used my Meguiar's G3500 to apply it anyway and it worked fine. If you choose to apply with a machine, just don't presss too hard or linger in one spot and you'll be fine. Do either and you could end up with some significant swirling in the paint, but this stuff is very gentle and I had no problems even with the dark paint. PROS: Cheap, very easy to use, and most importantly, highly effective at removing grime and wax buildup. CONS: None that I'm aware of.

I have 10 year old cars that I hope to keep for another 10 years. Both have clear coat metallic paint. The surface has swirls, bug stains, water stains, and all of the usual imperfections that come with an older car. This cleanser does a great job of removing these imperfections from the surface leaving it smooth and bright. Even if you don't apply a coat of wax after. Price seems a bit ridiculous, but if I focus on results, its a good buy.

I took a gamble with this product. I have never used any P21S products, but always read great reviews. This paint cleanser is amazing. My black BMW had water spots all over the hood. Many have been present for over a year, baking in the California sun. I used a damp, standard kitchen sponge, followed the directions, and I was able to get rid of all the spots in under 20 minutes. This product is worth money, is safe to use (no fumes, no potential damage to paint), and not labor intensive at all. I will definitely purchase their wax to follow up on the cleaning.

When I first got it, I was a bit miffed about the size of the bottle vs the price. However, this one bottle can probably do 5-6 full sized cars. It claims to enhance the application of P21S, and I thin that it is actually a cleaner wax/polish. It does make a difference you can see. It is easy to apply and remove, and you do it by hand. It gives professional, machine-type results without machine polishing (of course that's over an already polished surface). For a by hand combo, this, with P21S, would be very hard to beat.

I have always heard good things about the P21s Paint Cleaner, I need to do a full correction and seal up my Platinum Silver 2004 Jaguar XJR before winter hits. I had used a paint cleaner some time back from a big box store, but have not been able to find it for some time. So it gave me an opportunity to try this stuff out. I'm not let down at all. The P21s works in so creamy and as long as you don't let it dry out its much easier to remove. The paintwork is a hair brighter, the metal flake is more present than any other time I've polished the car (but this could be because I corrected the scratches). I only did a sample area on my hood last night, and just topped it with CG 50/50 and that was has never gone on so light smooth and easy. I can happily say this stuff will be kept on hand along with my plethora of other detailing chemicals. This spring I'll probably have to give their wax a go.

Not sure if this does much more a clay bar will do. I use this after clay barring. Perhaps this would be a replacement for clay barring. But it did leave my paint smooth and shiny ready for wax. I did not expect it to do miracles.

I bought this a year ago when I got a new Volvo XC60 but used it for the first time today on our 13 year old Honda Accord that is parked outside in the hot Texas sun and has been for a couple years. I was amazed at how this rejuvenated the paint and luster. I did this before the P21S carauba wax and now the old beater looks like new. Great product. Highly recommend!!!!
