    Im sure others have had some experance with CG, so i wanted to know what you think. I currently use Adams for my cleaners and wanted to look at some other brands

    IM looking to get
    CG:All clean: APC
    CG:Grime Reaper: Extreme APC
    CG:Window Clean
    CG:Lightning Fast Carpet+upholstry
    CG:Extreme Body Wash
    CG:Luber
    CG:Bare bones.

    I think that these products cover the bare essentials for cleaning, and dont have any interest in other polishes or waxes. Ever sense i used Menzerna i have not looked back, andn im kinda stuck on swissvax and lusso oro wax at the moment.

    I detail about 5-7 cars a month, and like everyone go throught the cleaners quickly, so i wanted to get my most product for the $$$.

    I love Grime Reaper and Bare Bones. Would not want to be without them.
    I use Luber a lot as well, usless I decide on another clay lube I have.

    In the past I have used:

    M-Seal
    Sticky Wheel Gel
    Diablo
    Blitz
    Glossworkz
    CWC
    CWG

    Get rid of the Extreme Body Wash and put in Glossworkz instead. No experience with the Extreme Body Wash but in the pic, it's separated which means you have to shake it up goodd every time you use it which is annoying.

    Glossworkz only needs 1-2oz for 3-5 gallons of water whereas the Extreme Body Wash is 1oz per gallon...it will more than make up for the increase in price thanks to the dilution ratios, and it only seems to get great reviews.

    I also don't know if I would have two APC's in that list, I'd go with Grime Reaper or the All Clean, not both.

    I'm not a big fan of their products.

    Grime reaper is not as good or as cost efficient as other APCs out there. The Zep brand has a very nice APC from what I heard. That's the Home Depot one. I use MG Super Green Stuff as my go to APC since the dilution ratios are good, and it's pretty cheap.

    Maxi Suds II didn't impress me. CWG and CWC are good soaps though.

    Thanks for the help. I was planning on using grime reaper for heavy cleaning and diluting the all clean for interior cleaning.
    Not sure if diluted all clean would be a good interior cleaner though

    I suggest you try out Glossworkz its a great maintenance wash and its a pleasure to work with. I even use 1oz in my foam gun the rest with water, set to the max for added lubricity, it doesnt foam up crazy like maxi suds but it does foam and provides a great surface to start washing with.

    I would definitley suggest the Zep products as well. I use the citrus APC and dilute for your needs.The Carpet extractor and Traffic lane cleaners for carpets . These are cheap and available at homedepot

    also try detailing.com. I've typically found their everyday prices to be cheaper than most sale prices.
