    Hey guys just wanted to throw a line out there about this new wash from Tropi-care. The story behind this wash is that I approached the owner of Tropi-care and asked if he could develop a citrus wash for me.

    I had been using Citrus Clear wash, but got tired of paying the high shipping costs to get the stuff here, and this guy is based out of Dallas so it's only a couple of hours from me. I basically told him what I wanted and what I wanted it to do and he had his chemist bake me up a first batch and it was quite the catastrophe. Basically when it came in contact with water is separated and there was like real orange vanes in it... really weird.

    Anyway, after the 2nd or 3rd version came out I sent some to JL to get another head in on the project. Well after a few months, it finally got done right!

    This stuff is absolutely amazing, and it actually has a strong citrus smell, like a cleaning smell. So anyway, if you like CG Citrus wash, but not the high shipping you need to look this stuff up.

    Works wonders in the foam cannon as well as the bucket. I've also used 5:1 on wheels and it's good for light cleaning.


    * I do not under any circumstance receive free product or compensation from Tropi-care. Just wanted to share!:applause2:

    Sounds great, I am a big CWG fan but im good on citrus shampoos for now as I have a gallon of it but when it runs out I will give this a try. I have been hearing solid things about TropiCare:thumb:

    Yeah, JL's been raving about this stuff. Is it available to the general public yet?

    I'd be interested in trying it? Does it strip off LSP?

    That'd be me!

    Yes it is, just went up on the web-site a week ago

    This stuff IS NOT LSP friendly in anyway.... solid cleaning power

    $24.99 a gallon, and you can use 10offtc to save 10% just google tropi-care as I don't want to post a link

    for LSP stripping I like it better, because it does it's job pretty well and yet is cost efficient...

    Interesting stuff there Mike! I guess I'll have to try out a small sample when I get a chance, thanks for the heads up!

    Good to know. What about diluting the citrus wash and applying it via a spray bottle or pump sprayer for applications like you would with TAW?

    Like i said I've used 5:1 and it's cleans pretty well.... I do know if there's enough ordered I can get him to lower the price by about $5

    bu$24.99 with 10% off isn't a bad buy at all, considering the shipping is a whole lot cheaper that anything CG can or will do

    Nice. That's all I wanted to know. Going to pick up a gallon or two once my P21S jug runs out.

    Anybody compare this to the citrus washes that Megs has in their Detailer Line or the ones that AutoMagic has?
