    P21S Paintwork Cleanser - a couple questions

    I am looking for a polish to remove old sealants/waxes before applying a new sealant. I found an old bottle of P21S Paintwork Cleanser and had a couple questions:

    1) The bottle says it is a polish. I also have an bottle of Meguiars Ultimate Polish. How do these two products compare? Would they both remove old sealants and waxes? Would the P21S do a better job of cleaning the paint than the Meguiars?

    2) Is P21S safe for use on Paint Protection Film?

    3) When I say an old bottle, the bottle is probably 5 or 6 years old. The contents had separated, but after a good minute of shaking, it was back to its original consistentcy and look. Do you think it is ok to use this product given its age and separation, or should I throw it away and get a new bottle?

    Thank you!

    P21S PC cleans with chemicals rather than abrasives and will be better on PPF

    MUP has more polishing oils and will remove sealants and waxes better than P21SPC.

    As long as the consistency is restored it should be fine.

    Good question. I think every polish/AIO leaves something behind.

    Maybe Megs tan bottle bodywork safe polishes?

    IMO:
    •They are nearly equal in their resulting paint
    cleaning; and Wax/Sealant removal abilities.
    -Basically: ‘Six of one; half-dozen of another’

    •I won’t be sticking my neck out on this one.
    -I always defer to the PPFs’ manufacturers’
    and/or installers’ recommendations.

    •Since it does go back to its original consistency
    and look after shaking it for only ~a minute, then
    before tossing it aside: I’d give it the ‘ol smell test.

    Hope this helps.
