Most effective / Paint safe degreaser?

Hello again my friends,

I am having a hard time finding the right degreaser. I just need something that is not too expensive, could be bought in gallons, and will not mess up the paint.

I'll be using it on the exterior of the car before the wash to remove extra contamination so that I have less clay work to do.

 

Optimum Power Clean 5:1

 

Is there anything cheaper? $35.99 for a gallon is alot.

 

if you want cheap you could try zep citrius. works pretty well i use it for engines and when i work on work trucks and that type of stuff. i have used it on paint with no effects.

 

I like to use P21S TAW as I know it comes paint safe right out of the bottle. No having to mix paint safe dilutions..

 

$35.00 is a small price to pay to be sure your paintwork is not going to be damaged........... a gallon properly diluted can last along time. Searh on the internet, i get it for far less then that.

 

You can get it from DI right now for 25% off

Where do you buy it?

 

What about the Meguiar's Body Solvent or Purple Power?

 

I've had good luck with Optimum Power Clean like mentioned above and also Griots Paint Prep.

 

Good stuff: p21s taw, or opt power clean
decent, good value: megs APC

 

Zep Citrus is a good choice, I use it on exteriors all the time. The only thing I've heard people having issues with it on is vehicles with single stage paint and a couple instances on chrome molding, and then it was just issues with spotting I believe.

 

ADS, Odonells, Detailersdomain........... I buy it when its on sale. I bought 4 gallons when ADS had it for 26.00 a gallon, Odonnels has it for the same price from time to time.

 

Thank you for the info!
