Proper way to degrease a car?
How do you degrease a car properly using a properly diluted citrus degreaser?
My main question is: Do you apply it on a wet surface or do you apply it dry?
For instance... would I FIRST rinse the car and THEN spray teh degreaser onto the wet surface? Or do you first apply the degreaer when the car is still completely dry and fully dirty/contaminated?
Thanks!

I use CG Citrus Wash, so you use it as you would a normal car wash. Not sure on P21s TAW.

Re: Proper way to degrease a car?
I add a little bit of citrus degreaser to the wash bucket. I then wet down the car and using my pressurized sprayer I hit the problem spots with a diluted citrus degreaser. The hotpsots usually being, the front edge of the hood, front bumper, and behind each wheel. I do not spray the panel until I am starting the panel before it.
Example:
Wash top of car.
Spray front of hood.
Wash trunk.
Spray front bumper.
Wash hood.
Spray right fender.
Wash front bumper.
Not exactly in that order just giving you an idea. I do this so the degreaser does not dry on the paint.
Not sure if people would consider it the right or the wrong way, but it works for me.

I use p21s taw 4:1 and CG citrus wash and gloss 2oz per 2 gallon.
Pre rinse with water. Then spray p21s and let it sit for a minute w/o letting it dry. Rinse it off then wash car with CG citrus.

Dawn and Megs APC+ or Body Solvent. Prepsol works well too...

I use APC+ at 4:1 water:APC and for the Dawn I use around 1-2 oz for 4 gallons of water.
