wasted money. rant

I was just sitting here bored as hell looking threw post of how all these guys recomend this X product for undercarrages, this X product for engines, This X product for door jambs And so on. if you guys want to no the the true secret to all this is. its called degreaser. I so so many people on here suggesting products because of a label brand or something. Truthfully you really don't need all this stuff. what you need is to learn how to properly dilute your chemicals. per say. most apc's or degreasers can be diluted 10.1 for interior cleaning, 50/50 for motors/ 4 to one for wheel wells and and door jambs! As a pro I actually use degreaser to wash paint off during a decontamination phase. I just had a huge rant and thought i would share. your comments are welcome im sure im gonna get a few!

Re: wasted money. rant

Have to do that on another forum I'm afraid there Barry. The paying sponsors of this site wouldn't really like it if you did that Although I fully agree with the statement..

Re: wasted money. rant

hmmm..... I missed the 55 gallon drum of degreaser on autogeek?

hey, you should do the math and post the results on what you paid for your drum compared to a gallon of some other degreasers!

Re: wasted money. rant

its not that polished and wax what it is is that i see so many people on here using on thing for tires and one thing for wheel wells and something different for jams and something different for in teriors and so on. the truth is properly diluting degreaser will do everything practiclly, next i see people buying these crazy 200- 500 dollars waxes yet its not the wax its whats underneath it and so on. i think we are victems to some serious marketing.
