CG Bare Bones or Griot's Undercarriage?

[Kris R]

I'm sick of the disappointment with Griots. I've tried their undercarriage spray. I'll tell you what. Go buy a bottle of baby oil. Add 6 drops of blue food coloring. Shake it. Pour it into a spray bottle. There's your griots undercarriage spray.

Too bad... It's impossible for ^^ our subaru ^^ to use that... unless we take off our rims...

I agree it is a pain and I bought a small garden sprayer to make it easier but it almost isn't worth it as you can barely even fit your hand in there to clean it in the first place.

Hard to see but griots works great on my wheel wells. I haven't cleaned em since last fall, sprayed on and took a brush

The CG Bare Bones I have is purple and smells like grape kool-aid...it's oily, but I don't know why that matters - it blackens out my wheel wells, takes 5 seconds per wheel well (I spray and walk away,) and it lasts for a week (unless I drive on wet roads, then it's gone right away.)

I don't know if this new blue stuff is any different...

Bare Bones is OK, not great. I have us meg all season as well. Ive concluded that Meg hyper dressing is the best, its as durable as others if not surprisingly maybe even a little more so consider its water based. Best part is you can get a real nice mist with it. Its spray on and walk away.

CG Bare Bones has been reported in three colors over time: purple, blue, and recently red. This says a lot.

I liked PERL at first, but I find it turns white after 2-3 weeks. Also turned my tires brown (never had that issues with my other dressings). I find PERL works best on trim & cowl.

FYI: I treated all rubbers and plastics with Meg's APC and MEg's Degreaser (1:4) before using PERL. It literally took me hours of scrubbing with a toothbrush... I did it all over again and PERL still turned white...

what about opt-bond? It can be diluted as well.

I dont really care for CG bare bones. I first bought a 16oz bottle to try it and it seemed to last about a week. After I used it all I bought a gallon of it and I'm not pleased to say the least. It lasts about a few day . After those days pass it's back dry again. BTW I spray it and leave i . Could be because I DONT rub and work it into the wheel wells the reason it doesn't last long I don't know.
