    I visited a thread on this product and discovered several persons were interested in a review. I washed my vehicle today and used this opportunity to complete this short review.

    The wheels are covered in a combination of brake dust, salt, sand, and general road grime.

    To be fair, most of this debris was removed during a high pressure rinse. However, a film of road grime was still present; I realize it is somewhat difficult to capture in the following image.

    I applied CG's Sticky Gel Citrus Wheel Cleaner via a high output sprayer. I used a Swissvax wheel brush to agitate the face of the wheel and an EZ detail brush for the barrel.

    IMO, this product works just as well as P21S or S100 Wheel Cleaner Gel. You may still have to revert to acid wheel cleaners to remove more severe contamination; however, this has been my experience with any non-acidic wheel cleaner. I payed $26 for a gallon of this product when ordered directly from Chemical Guys. Hope this helps.

    Is it stronger than P21s?

    Thanks for your review! I'll be getting a gallon myself on Christmas Day!!! :)

    I want to test it out on some pretty bad wheels but I think all the wheels in our family are pretty clean already. Hmm, guess I'll have to clean my sister's car since she never cleans it and it's a Bimmer. :doh:

    I Had to take notice of the cadilac too...It looks so Beautiful...What an awesome job you did...:worship2:

    I also like the Idea of a high pressure rinse before any scrubbing. I wouldn't call that cheating at all...It's Smart...:thumb:

    Thank you for the review. great job. It is the wheel area and bug and tar that I haven't found a product for yet. Or have I...:thumb:

    I haven't conducted a side by side comparison and am not intimately familiar with the formulation of each; therefore, I am unable to provide a factual response to your question . This product can be cut to achieve desired strength. I frequently cut this product 1:1 and it appears to be as strong as P21S. Hope this helps.
