Perfectus · 01-13-2010, 12:58 PM

Looks great!! Quick noob questions...

when you used the p21s TAW as a pre-soak, did you dilute it?
how long did you let it soak?
did you rinse the TAW off before you soaped the car?

thanks!!

Detailers Domain · 01-13-2010, 02:17 PM

we did not dilute the p21s taw, we let it soak for a couple of minutes, then rinsed off prior to foaming the car down.
