Products that disappointed you

Belive it or not, but i dont like P21s Gel Wheel Cleaner at all!

Its way overprised!

P21S GWC costs 3 times more than CG Grime Reaper, and its also weaker.

Ithink a lot of the money goes to nice bottle and packaging.

I have the same ressults with ARO when i compared it with P21s. Aro is also a lot cheaper.

Sorry folks... but P21s Gel Wheel Cleaner i out! :comfort:

 

I respect ur opinion I've had success with P21S wheel gel, it's just something you gotta let sit and agitate. I agree it's expensive and I'd rather save it for some expensive aftermarket wheels that I want to be super extra careful over.

 

Maybe i just dont get it... but i usualy wash my own car with 19 inch chrome wheels with strongest possible chemicals.

Less scrubbing is less work. This is my opunion though.

I always use CG Blitz or Jetseal 109 after anyway. So i dont think i destroy my wheels...

Maybe i'm wrong..?

 

Stoners tire shine, very greasy and doesnt last at all. Im going to try Megs endurance gel next.

 

- Poorboys EX-P (no durability)
- Zymol Leather Cleaner & Conditioner (awful)
- Zaino Z6 (streaks A LOT)
- Megs Gold Class (too harsh)

 

XMT Polishes- Although the XMT Glaze is alot like E-Z from CG!!!

Menz. IP, FP (I prefer SIP and 106ff)

LC 6.5" Orange Pad

XMT Pad Cleaner (love the DP stuff!!)

CG chubbies (NOT CHUBBY AT ALL)

Cobra Polishing towels

 

I was mislead on another forum about this product and was probably more disappointed in it than any other product that has disappointed me. You're right for general upkeep its OK, messy but OK and after that less than useless.

 

Not all CG towels are made equally! My neighbor bought some and they were SO thin. The gray Target ones were tons better.

 

now come on, you can't tell me it ain't good stuff!!!

i was told using #0000 steel wool you can get even better results... I love this stuff

 

I definately like the DD towels... i like the yellow with black trim from CG

 

^^ How much of that came off during the wash vs what really needed to be "polished" off?

 

that brake dust was caked on there... I rinsed the wheel, but a majority came off with the S100, that's the version I have.

although I will say, doesn't work all that great on polished aluminum or diamond plating, but chrome is no problem

 

Interesting

 

I can see where it would work on chrome since it is smooth, but on aluminum that is porse when uncoated it has trouble to do more than be used as an upkeep type product.

 

Wow Dust I have never gotten results like that before and I have used it numerous times. Maybe I'm not using it right but I did just like the directions said. Shoot once I started using Wheel Brite on chrome I have pushed the P21S to the back of the cabinet.

 

haven't used wheel brite on chrome as of yet... that's when i pull out the s100, will try brite nxt time and see what happens!

I will have to get some #0000 steel wool and try it out on my rims on the trailer and see if it comes out better

 

Not to hijack, but you're the third person to list Megs gold class. Just curious what u guys are using instead for traditional washes (Not ONR type washes). Ive always used Megs so I really don't have anything to compare it too.

 

Try some Duragloss 901, Majestic Solutions Ultra Gloss, Optimum Car Shampoo, or some Poorboys Super Slick and Suds. Very nice soaps. There are some others out there as well.

I think Meg's GC shampoo isnt all that bad for a OTC soap.

 

Thanks, I've been interested in trying out the Duragloss line as I've yet to try any of their products. About to order #901, 105, 755, 921 and 951. I feel like I'm missing out! Seems pretty cheap too.

 

How about these.

Adam's Car Wash (great for the foam gun)
Sonax Gloss Shampoo (good for foam gun)
Prima Mystique (great wash not ideal for the foam gun)
Lusso Auto Bathe (amazing car wash...will not strip wax)
Einszett Perls (no suds)
Optimum as mentioned
