Default I <3 P21s

We just had a really bad downpour here, and I go out once it slacks up to find my car with the most beautiful beads on it I've ever seen. Perfect.

PC+P21s=love

Yea. Good stuff.

This last weekend was the first time I have used the Wheel cleaner gell stuff. It works really really well.

I still have to put mine on.... I was going to put it on when I got home from work... but on the trip home, is when my car got trashed... It's all better though :-D 6 hours cleaning the interior today, and it looks better than before... and I buffed the scratches out with the RED css pad :-P, the LSP pad lol. so it's all good... except for my paint swirls, but I'm starting to give up on them for now. P21S tonight or tomorrow morning... still haven't decided.

IS P21s paste wax better applied with a PC than hand? Ive always used it by hand but thought that using a PC to apply would be difficult since its paste.

detailers trick:

use a rubber glove, turn the p21s over and hit it- the wax comes out of the plastic can... then you can use it with the pc- just rub it on your pad... put it back in the can when you are finished.

i like to use the pc with it, but you gotta be careful- dont let it sit on the car too long. works best when you have an assistant... and two pcs are even better!! one to apply and one to remove. but p21s is so easy to use, no problem removing by hand. (and of course, as you know, its even easy to apply by hand- but i wanted to give you the above just in case you are like me and like to change up and do things differently sometimes).


and actually, on a bigger car the pc with p21s is almost a must have- again as long as you also have an assistant (btw, kids can do a great job with the removal with very little training!)

I applied it earlier, it went on like butter... used my PC for the body, and used the applicator for around the door sills, and trunk lid. I read the paper that came in the package, and it didn't really specify how long to let it sit... any tips on a black car wanabe? I'm gunna throw another coat on tomorrow before work.

You can let it sit or you can wipe it right off. With P21S it doesn't really seem to make a difference. It will be SUPER easy to wipe off too even if you let it dry a while.

I really like P21S for its application and looks but out of all the waxes I own, this has the WORST durability by far...

Lasts less than one week at best.
