Does anyone have experience with this product? I picked up the 35oz bottle of it. It smells unlike any cleaner/APC I've used before. Has an almost ammonia scent to it. It's very potent and you'll smell it for quite a while once you get a whiff of it.

I put some in a spray bottle @ 10:1 as they suggest for pre-wash during winter. So far I've only tested it on our stove top and it cleans very well.

It's made to be used in a foamer, so not sure how it will be in a spray bottle.

I've used it many times and it's a strong pre-wash and it's a good idea to top up your finish with something unless you've got a coating.

I’ve used it with a regular sprayer and a foamer. Both ways work well for me.

Griot's says they recommend it for spray bottle use too at 10:1. It's potent stuff that's for sure.

Griots sells an empty foaming surface prep spray bottle

The only product for me that has stripped an existing sealant was Citrol 266 and OPC. That stuff is potent too. To remove Opit-Seal, which isn't hard to do lol, I used OPC and it completely removed it.

I've used it just one time so far. I'm not sure what I was expecting because for some reason I wasn't impressed and turned off by it - in terms of performance. The jury is still out with me but I do plan on using it again since I have more than half-gallon left. I also have CarPro Reset, and have yet to try that one.

It streaked for me repeatedly, so I gave it away.

Even after rinsing?

I'm curious about this as well, I just don't get this? I'm not doubting it but rather trying to understand it.

I couldn't get it to work for me. I'm guessing it didn't play well with my F1000p.

Just to educate the group and curious minds, could you explain the process a little further and the aftermath[emoji848]
