    Just a Rant

    Very simple. I'm very disappointed with D143 just my opinion. I thought I'd give it a try and compared to another tire cleaner that AG does not sell and some of you know about it because you asked me, D143 does not stand up. Now I cut the 143 3:1 not 2:1 but the other cleaner 4:1 and it had better results.

    So if you have to use more of 1 product than another who cares if its cheaper?

    I've been hearing about Zep 505 for years and need to get some. I did buy DG tire cleaner over the winter and used it up already and was very happy with the results, great sprayer too! I've been using Bleache White forever and even though it has a new owner the product still works.

    I agree, if you have to dilute it less who cares about price, people here want something that works, period.

    With all due respect, why the heck are you complaining about that?!
    The least you can do is follow the directions before you begin whining. Lol.

    That's like getting mad at your new gf because she doesn't know your ex wifes secret recipe for fried chicken!

    That's like if I were to get mad at D101 for sucking at cleaning tires, when Megs never stated it was any good for cleaning tires...

    Follow the directions, then maybe then start your ranting... 2:1. 2 parts water, 1 part concentrate. 1:1 if you're going in with a bad attitude.

    I think I tried the 505 but it didn't do as well as that competitors cleaner.

    El the directions say up to 2:1 though, but then consider price 2:1 is more expensive than 4:1, no?

    .....And if you were so happy with that unnamed tire cleaner, why were you in the market for a different 1? Smh.
    That's like a happily married man cheating. Makes no sense. Lol.

    Once again, If it was more expensive than what you were using, which worked so good.... Why were you looking for something new? I don't get it...

    You cut D143 more than it was supposed to be cut. Doesn't quite seem fair to rant about something when you use it in a manner not recommended. But that's just my opinion!

    If it makes you feel any better, I bought Mckee's Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator because I got The Bug as well... Huge letdown.
