DP Gel vs P21S Gel

[matt@autogeek.net]

If you want something less aggressive and less expensive, why not just dilute the DP?

If diluted (any suggestions for ratio?), can it be left on wheels while all wheels are being agitated and then rinsed off?

i agree they both have their place, i have plenty of time to let P21S work, but even after letting it sit for an hour DP still did a better job.

I'd probably start with something like 3:1 waterP and take it from there. At this ratio, I don't see any problems leaving it on the wheels for a couple minutes.

DP is pretty good stuff, but I hate the DP sprayers. They "stream" rather than "spray". I've found the Surf city cleaner to be very good and easy to work with, plus the sprayer is great.

I have used P21S without issue for years, and found DP no better. Both are nice options, but with high dollar forged wheels I will stick with P21S.

Did you use it correctly ?? Allow to sit for two minutes. Agitate as needed, and spray off ??

Yes, there is a fine line between closed and streaming, but if you adjust properly, they are great sprayers.

yep used correctly, i believe its a good product i just dont see it any better than DP.

i've left P21 on from 2 minutes to one hour..no better cleaning in time difference.

like i said its a good product i just dont see it as any better or safer than DP, if left DP on for up to 20 minutes with no ill effects so i think its pretty safe too

I just got in some of the DG 821, all wheel cleaner. At $24./gallon it's a bargain compared to most others. I have only tried it on one wheel so far and it did a fantastic job. I have 2 details to do this long weekend, so I'll try it out on them.

I love how P21S gel foams up!
