P21S Paint Cleanser review

Just had a car to do (black), and the paint needed some longer term protection, but short term needed some TLC. Even after a strip wash, iron decon and clay, it was pretty dull. I'd decided I was going to put a one-year coating on it (Dr Beasleys LS-10), but really couldn't without prepping the surface a little more....enter P21S Paint Cleanser. I'd picked this stuff up on a whim to possibly use as a coating prep, and the timing was right. I tried following the instructions, and they covered doing it by hand. I opted for the method I saw Brian from Apex Detail use.....small amounts on a Uro-fiber 50/50 pad....BINGO. The finish cleaned up every bit as nicely as I thought it might, and the improvement was significant.

While far from perfect, it removed some water spots, and got me a nice bump in gloss. If anyone has a car that could use some minor pre-coating, or even pre-sealant or wax, prep, this is the product for you. In a couple of months, I'll be using it on my own vehicle as a precursor to a coating. Here are the results....not perfect by any stretch....but much improved from the starting point
