    So far as a wheel and tire cleaner I am VERY VERY impressed! Worked well on thick brake dust and grease. It really loosens up the dirt very well and makes rinsing a quick process. 1 part E-Shine APC to 4 parts water is what I used. This was just a quick test and not my full cleaning process, no powersticks or pressure washer was used in these pics, just a straight forward test of how it cleanes wheels and tires. To the pics..

    Wheel 1- Befores, pardon the baked in brake dust, it will not come off.

    I think its on par with P21S gel, if not better. It worked quite well with only a short time to dwell on the wheels. Tires came out nice after rinsing as well. Overall an easy product to use, smells nice and gets the job done, quick! Will use it more on future details and post results also. Im starting to use the P21s gel less and less partly because it damn expensive and also because its just nothing special. i like Megs WB for heavily soiled wheels but dont enjoy using it, the smell and the fact that its acidic bothers me, but it is a good product nonetheless. This APC however is a very user friendly product. I think the E-Shine APC is great for all types of wheel and tire cleaning, I wanna see how well it works on real nasty brake dust. Im going to try other uses for it too, pre-wash degreaser, wheel wells etc. SO far im happy and will certainly continue using and testing it. Thanks E-shine...and uh if you needed a tester for any more of your products I'm your man :)

    Very nice review, I hope it won't be patented, so later cannot be sipped to U.S., like Ricardo clay...where all U.S. had to do is lower the prices...

    THE APC once again performed great! I sprayed wheels and tires with a nice coating and let dwell for about 2-3minutes. EZ brush and the SV wheel brush were the only tools used to get the results you see here. Only on that one wheel with tar stains was AG tar remover used. The tires were squeaky clean and I was suprised how much dirt actually came off when scrubbing. I really love using this APC, very simple and it doesnt really have a distinct smell. I will continue to use it on almost every detail, that is when I get more of course. E-Shine did an awesome job with this APC!

    I am here. I try to get on and read as much as I can but peak season has me real busy. I amslo have several hundred gallons of this APC coming to us. I will also seek out an American Distributor to sell the product in the USA for us. First I have to come up with a name. Grime Reaper? Griminator?

    I would not use Grime Reaper. :giggle: But I would love to purchase some if you can get it into the US.

    Yes I know. I was thinking that he would not want to use that name if he imported his product into the USA. Would'nt that cause some problems? Sorry if I am incorrect.
