Zep citrus degreaser

I use as recommended here 1 oz in my foam gun. I used on my car's paint & my friends vw passat's paint. Using cr-spotless and in shades. It stain all the chrome window trims!!!! Never again on paint. Tires n carpets.... That's it.

 

:yikes:

 

I've said it so many times on this forum that Zep Citrus shouldn't be used on automotive paint. I don't even use it on wheels. It's a great product, but for wheel wells only, and interior duty at the right dilution.

 

I never used it on the paint...better be safe then sorry...P21S TAW works well...

 

Took me 2hrs to repair it with optimum metal polish. Never again on paint. Only p21s aw n power clean for me. But p21 aw is expensive.....maybe 1z blitz or w99?

 

1Z Blitz is great on paint.

You have to dilute it 6:1 or weaker and it's safe for all exterior surfaces. Phil @ DD knows that 1Z Blitz is my new best friend.

 

used it on my car wtih 10:1 and no issues, but dont have chrom except for H emblem on front. tried P100 TCC but its not the same as P21 TAW like ppl said, maybe it works the same but doesnt look the same, TAW is orange and TCC is yellow. i still use zep on wheel wells and my car with no issues

 

Sorry to hear that ... I have never had issues with chrome trim and Zep Citrus.

 

I'm definitely liking this stuff.

 

How do you use it? Same method like mine?

 

I've never had any problems with zep citrus. Did some of it dry on there because that is where the main problem is with all chemicals. If its kept wet and not allowed to dry should be perfectly fine. I used it at 10:1, much stronger than your mix, on paint and chrome bumpers and have never seen any damage. :shead:

Guess I'm just lucky.

 

I let it dwell for 1 min in the shade n rinse before I start washing with my shampoo.

 

Are you for certain the chrome wasn't already jacked up before you started to foam. Kinda hard to tell when its dirty :shead:

 

I guess that happened with me too, except I used normal water from the tap and I think the stains were from CG Citrus Wash?

After:


I just used P21S Restoring Cream on an MF applicator then wiped off with an MF. It works wonders!

 

Not on paint. I've used it on wheels at 3:1 to no ill effect but I use it for tires and wheel wells.

 

I will ask my friend to take picture of it

 

sorry to hear bout that......

i've used it on my personal/family & company vehicle with no problems

to remove multiple layers of 845.

1. pre-soak via spray bottle (approx 10:1)

2.added less than 1oz to foam gun w/ CG CW (orange)

3. added 1oz to wash bucket w/CG CW (orange)

 

DB no need to be sorry. AG cwc, raceglaze brushes & xl brush, brown royal, n many other great products came out from this forum. I like to try things out myself, but zep citrus won't touch any paint anymore.

 

yup...ijust like blackout's picture, it stained my friend's c300 chrome trims, other than P21s restoring cream, what else will work?

 

wow. never tried zep but this makes me wonder if i should try it or.not
