Please explain: what is P21S Auto Wash?
I'm not sure what this product is or its purpose but everyone raves about it. I understand it is an APC that is safe on paint and wheels and even interiors, however, it supposedly will strip wax and sealant. I also understand it can be diluted for various tasks from engine detailing to making quick work of bug guts but I can't find the ratios to use anywhere, even at the P21S site. Do you spray this directly on your car and use it as a waterless wash? Or, is it better to be used as a shampoo and mixed in a bucket?
I ask because here is a quote from the product page: "Convenient Spray Bottle. You won’t need to hurt your back constantly bending over to fill your sponge or towel with car wash detergent. Simply spray and wipe"! That sounds like a waterless wash to me but it sounds like a very, very powerful cleaner for this purpose and it is not advertised as a rinseless or waterless wash. If you use it this way I think you have to apply new wax and sealant every time, unless there is a dilution ratio that will clean without stripping LSP. To those of you who have this product, exactly what is it and how is it used?

Re: Please explain: what is P21S Auto Wash?
P21S TAW is considered a "safe solvent" (d-limonene)---A citrus-based, biodegradable cleaner/degreaser.
I like this product and its first-cousin:
S100 Total Cycle Cleaner ($10.99/1 Liter Refill) S100 1 Liter Refill
If, perhaps, you go S100-shopping...Take a look at S100 Carnauba Paste Wax:
S100 Carnauba Wax is a hand-poured blend of German waxes, proprietary ingredients and pure Brazilian Carnauba wax. motorcycle wax, bike wax, s100
IMO...
-Using TAW full-strength on painted panels will, at the very least, "weaken" some LSP's...
-Remove many others completely.
-I use it full-strength on engine bays, wheel wells, rocker panels, undercarriage, exhaust tips,
door jambs, rubber floor mats, and other grimy areas.
-I full well expect to 're-seal' these affected areas.
Every so often:
-I'll TAW-wash the entire vehicle's exterior...By usually diluting it by adding:
3-4 oz. of TAW per 4 gal. of water in my wash-bucket.
That's ~ 1:125---(TAW:Water)...ratio I believe.
-I will also 're-seal' these: TAW'ed vehicle-areas afterwards.
-I don't find myself using TAW, even at my dilution ratio,
on many non-painted vehicle's interior surfaces.
Of course: YMMV.

Hi Mark...
Yes I have used this DP product...
Especially to pre-treat/clean rubber and vinyl surfaces.
IMO...
Good stuff to use prior to applying ones personal choicer of "trim-dressings".
BTW:
Good to see you posting "regularly", again, on AGO!!
Hope all's well!
Bob

Why?
What will you mainly use it for?

Because I never had a problem with it stripping paint.

I will be using it for all painted surface cleansing when a degreaser is needed. I will be switching from the standard spray bottle though, going with a fine mist garden sprayer.
