Re: p21s gel wheel cleaner sucks
Its not a harsh cleaner. Its great on the wheels. I like to spray it on. Aggitate with a brush and let it sit for awhile. It definetly does a good job.

(example) So when your 5 year old son's every other word is s---- it's ok? I'd wash my son's mouth out with soap.

haha rep for that one!
As for P21S being bad... no way... maybe if you spray it on, and wash off within half a minute or something like that... if you spray it on even some fairly dirty wheels, let sit for a couple minutes, then brush off with a wheel brush, most, if not all, comes right off

If we were chatting on a Nickelodeon.com forum, I'd think you might have a point. But we're not.

Re: p21s gel wheel cleaner sucks
Did you actually wait for it to do its job? It's not going to clean the wheels for you all by itself. Yes you actually have to wash them by hand, just like everyone else.

Re: p21s gel wheel cleaner sucks
I usually spray the wheels with it, wash the car while agitating the wheels half way and then pressure wash the wheels afterwards. I have to go back to get some areas but other than that it's been working fine. I've been using the meguiars hot rims wheel cleaner and it works wonders! However, it smells horrible!

Re: p21s gel wheel cleaner sucks
I think P21S is one of the best wheel cleaners out there. However, I have never used it on chrome wheels, only coated. I actually use the non-gel version because the gel is overkill for my wheels.
This is the only negitive review I've read on this wheel cleaner...

Re: p21s gel wheel cleaner sucks
The Gel is formulated for agitation and dwelling, you need to spray a tiny bit then water it down. Very good cleaner, you don't always need a chemical that blows brake dust away in a second.

Re: p21s gel wheel cleaner sucks
P21S gel is my favorite wheel cleaner. I know it's a bit on the expensive side of the spectrum, but I think it's worth it. I agree with what other have said...dwelling time is crucial in how well it's going to work. To the OP...if you don't want the rest of yours, I will buy it from you. Same goes for the car wash...I really like it too.
