    APC+ doesn't foam like APC does. (I've been using APC/+ for 10 years). :)

    Curious what is grim reaper used for? or Can be used for?

    Curious also. I have some Optimum Power Clean, Meg's APC +. and Amazing Roll-Off. Does Grim Reaper have some other property that the aforementioned don't?

    Nope, but you have 3 products that all do effectively the same thing (in varying dilutions).

    :headbang:

    Each have their own strengths :whistle: My OPC has almost been depleted, so I jumped on APC+ when it came time to re-stock.. And well, ARO, has been the talk of the town for some time now. Worst case, I can clean gutters with it :mounty:

    I've got some ARO and it's OK. I don't know about "Talk of the town" or anything.

    I agree, Megz Green APC does foam alot. I have it in the 16oz bottles in orignal post. When I use it i only use like 60% of it because it foams on its own when I spray, I dont like it.
    Grime Reaper sliiiiightly foams but what degreaser doesnt ya know. I love Grime Reaper.

    It's a cleaner/degreaser. Spray it on bugs, built up dirt, grime etc. I just used it on my wheels 5 minutes ago. I wanted to strip off the Collinite 845 and 3M Tire Restorer to do an IPA wipedown and JetSeal them. I loved it.

    Also, when I detail a car for its first time, I spray the entire car down with strong APC- now I'll use Grime Reaper. I let it sit for like 2 minutes so it doesnt dry. Then I spray the foam gun with CG Citrus Wash. Let it sit for like 3 minutes, then rinse then 2 bucket method wash.

    Yep--two stores (in malls).

    It is heaven for detailers. It's great to see the look on the faces of first time customers.

    glad you figured out the mislabeling before you put grime reaper somewhere it would do damage thinking it was barebones. I only use barebones for the wheel wells currently though.

    I am also curious where the picture was taken. If I look in the background, I see lots of Mothers, Pinnacle/Wolfgang, and many other brands. With a cash register, it surely looks like a store.
     
  18. You noticed that also I see. Looks like a hi end automotive boutique. Must be a Cali thing I bet. Wish we had something like that around here so I could just stop in the sniff waxes on occasion :p

    It's like I-SPY....

    Haha... We are FAR from California (~2,700mi).


    For the sake of transparency:
    Before someone tries to call this spam, I took the picture in the store because that's where I was at the time. I'm not trying t advertise it, I was just trying to help someone.

    Yes, it is a store. No, it is not in CA (we have two--neither in CA). Yes, I am a partner with financial interest in the business. No, I am not trying to pull you guys away from DD (which is why I did not mention the name or location).

    I feel like I had to say this because anytime the business gets brought up, someone feels compelled to label me as a spammer.

    The newer version of Bare Bones is Purple, (unlike the old which was blue) and this may be the reason why it could have mistakenly been mislabeled as Grime Reaper. The newer Bare Bones is purple and smells like grapes. The color is no longer blue.

    Your best bet is to call CG and let them know their may have been a labeling mistake. You may have ended up with two different versions of Bare Bones due to a labeling mistake.
