    Carpro trix cleanser horrible

    This stuff sucks plain and simple paid a heck of a lot for it and haven't noticed it work on anything plus the smell lingers and is unreal disgusting (lemon scent) yeah right. Has this worked for you because cheap Prepsol is what I had to go back over the car with and it took the tar off in seconds

    Wow, I'm sort of surprised to here this!

    Many have spoken well of this product and all of the CarPro products I've tried have been first rate...

    Sounds like user error, Trix is excellent.
    But you still have to agitate a bit, it is NOT a "spray-and-rinse" type of product.

    The smell is bad, but a quick Google search would tell you that, no surprises.

    I agree on the agitation.

    I bought some Iron X Paste a while ago and tried using it with no success. You really have to let it sit on the paint and agitate it a couple times.

    Don't give up on it!

    I just used Trix yesterday and it removed iron and tar really easily. Once I sprayed it on the tar it started melting and after I let it dwell a bit it wiped right off. I liked it so much I was going to buy some more. Sorry you had a problem with it.

    Re: Carpro trix cleanser horrible

    I agree about Trix. I have a lot of tar on my wheels, but it seems it won't remove all of them, although I let it dwell for 5 minutes and rinse it before it's dry.

    Compared to zep orange, is prepsol better? How about prepsol compared to big name like OPC or meguiars APC?
