Default Old stuff did smell good!

The old stuff in my 2000 S4 and 2001 TT smelled much better than the stuff in my 2004 S4. Either way the OEM stuff works way better than the standard blue. Has anyone tried the P21S additive?

Default How can you order it if it's listed as discontinued?

And yes, it seems like the Rain-X stuff is the best replacement, but nowhere close to the Audi stuff.

Default You can get it until the existing warehouse stock is out

Audi now lists a new part number for this item.

The bottles list a warning that you must mix it 8:1 in California.

.... So I assume the "old" mix probably has some environmental issue.

Default Not sure if that's the newer stuff...

AoA had a newer mix that wasn't as good as the old mix (they discontinued the good stuff with the strong alcohol aroma around early 2002.)

Default Just call any dealer & ask them to order some.

Audi apparently only ships it in case lots (12 Btls).

But @ 4 $/Btl retail, they will recover their cost by selling you a couple of items.

Default If people want I will look into ordering a large ammount of this...

And then distributing it as a GB type of deal. I dont know how many people would be interested though.

I was thinking the same thing. I'd be interested. I'd buy a few bottles.

Default

actually I don't think that would be a good idea because that stuff removes wax.
