Tire Cleaning Results - P21S Total Auto Wash

I bought some P21S Total Auto Wash the other day and was planning on using it to strip my wax before doing the fall detailing. Before I did this however I tried it on the tires on the Expedition. They were looking rather scummy with brown build-up on the sidewalls and the white lettering was a bit dirty. Here are the before pictures:



I then sprayed down the tire with water and spritzed the Total Auto Wash on the tire. I used a good stiff brush and scrubbed. When I rinsed I knew it had done a good job because the water turned black. Anyway here are the after pictures:


So at least as far as cleaning tires I'm very impressed. Next I'm going to use it before my detailing and see what it does to my remaining Epic.
I'm giving the P21S Total Auto Wash:

Bought it for the same reason (wax removal). Haven't tried the tires but it does work well on the wheels too. Takes the brake dust off easy-breezy. Supposed to be good for engine detailing and I think I'll try that next.

Actually, not all that much elbow grease was needed. It worked that well.
You must be back from China - see any MINIs?
Yup, Fall Detailing - wash with P21S to strip wax, clay, wash with Gold Class to remove residue from clay, Black Wow trim to prevent white marks from polish, Swirl on orange pad, Amigo on white pad & Epic on black pad. I usually put on the snow tires as well as change oil. Full day (or two). I'm looking for the energy; hope I find it for next weekend.
