TTGP - will wheels clean with only a PW?

Bigpikle · 09-23-07, 01:34

Asking lots of questions as I have the promo sampler pack but dont have this yet.

My holy grail is a wheel sealant that allows a 90%+ clean with only a blast from a PW. I have seen both Zaino and Jetseal achieve this but dont have these products, and dont really want to buy them only for wheels.

Can anyone tell me how TTGP performs in this regard on standard alloy wheels - just a rinse and NO contact wash?

I have Chemical Guys Wheel Guard, and while its a superb and durable protector, it needs a contact wash to get wheels clean. I also tried Jeffs AJT, and this achieved about 80% clean with no contact, so if TTGP does trim, tyres and wheels and can do it, then I struck gold...

Many thanks

Cant tell you about TTGP but I can tell you that UPGP works great on rims. I have three coats on mine and a hose will take off about 80% of brake dust off. I imagine with a PW 100% would be gone. I am sure its not necessary but I re-apply everytime I wash.

thanks - didnt really consider that. Will test a wheel with PPP & PGP when I get back.

Anyone else have any experiences with this or TTGP?

I can run a test on the mini van. The pads that I put on are a lot more dusty than the pads that came off. I'll do one wheel with PGP and the other with TTGP.

I'm in a never-ending all-out war on brake dust. Recently, I tried several coats of TTGP - IMO, it was not as effective as KSG. Unfortunately, TTGP washed *less well* than KSG with my pressure washer. Just didn't like it on wheels.

Then, I tried several coats of PGP - Bingo! It cleans up much easier with a pressure washer than both KSG and TTGP!

That's the good news... But is it not a no-touch PW-only cleanup. I still need to brush/wipe a bit, but PGP makes a noticeable difference.

About a week later, for kicks, I cleaned well and misted FK1 425 over the PGP - It seems to lessen the buildup and cleans even easier!

So, PGP once/twice a week + 425 other times seems to be the best I've come across. (My brakes make a ton of dust... So I'm still open to experimenting with anything that will help!)

On TTGP's behalf, it is the best dressing I've found for tires - I like the finish (matter not shiny), no sling-off, and it makes cleaning tires much easier.
