Just swung over to the GG HQ and grabbed a bottle. The woman has the GTI today so it looks like I'll have to wait for a little bit to try this one out.

This new Griots Heavy Duty wheel cleaner must be flying off the shelves?
I placed my order for it yesterday and today I receive an AG email it's on back-order.

from what I understand they are expecting an order of it in shortly, so hopefully the backorder won't last too long.

If one has to "agitate", won't any wheel cleaner work well in most cases? I guess it could depend on the current state of the wheels? I would like to see it's effectiveness w/o the 'agitation". Spray. Wait. Hose.

Unless the wheel has very light dirt and dust, any wheel cleaner that doesn't contain harsh chemicals is going to require agitation from a brush.

Sure, you could spray the wheel down with brake cleaner and simply hose it off to reveal a wheel free of dirt and brake dust, but you're also going to trash the wheel in the process.

Griot's Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner, Sonax Full Effect, and the P21S Gel are the safest, most effective means of cleaning a wheel without resorting to heavy chemicals that will cause damage to the wheel's finish.

What makes those wheel cleaners different from others is the amount of agitation that's necessary to clean the wheel. Not only that, but each one of those wheel cleaners is safe for all wheel types, so you can clean any wheel and be confident that you aren't going to cause any damage.

^ Thanks. I guess my wheels never get bad enough to where simple car soap won't clean them, along with minor hand washing. I used EO AtoZ once, and that stuff is harsh. You also go through the bottle very quickly. That's why I only tried it once.

I'm excited to see a head to head with sonax
